Method Detail

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)

Starts up MDS objects and runs the CLI Takes as an argument the local IP (real ip or dns, NOT localhost) This also takes many other utility arguments that save props file modification but if the utility arguments are to be passed, All arguments are read into their slot according to their order (ie can't ONLY pass the 2nd and 4th argument) We MUST take the local IP from the user... the ONLY other way to derive this hosts IP before anyone connects (binds) to it would be to know the network interface name and derive the IP from that, however this is not a standard name, for example, the first ethernet device on linux is eth0, while the first ethernet device on Solaris is hme0, etc... Finally, optionally one can input what they want to name their MDS Node

Parameters:

args - your command line input ARGUMENT 1: the local host name (NOT 127.0.0.1/localhost) ARGUMENT 2: the name of the properties file ARGUMENT 3: the name for this MDS Node ARGUMENT 4: the port this MDS will listen to MDSProxies on
