InputDialog: have we a component like this?

[AlessandroCic]

Hi forum.
To have an interactive operability during the job I seed the "tMsgBox" that it can to be useful for to display messages or choices.
Is there another component similar to Java JOptionPane.showInputDialog where the user can write free text?
Or is there some component like a drop down box to choice some fixed values?

Hi
The prompt option for a context variable does not work if the job is executed out of Talend Studio. If this, I suggest you to use tMsgbox with question button.

Hi Shong, thank you for the information, it isn't a good news.
The tMsgBox can to be useful if I have simply answers but I would like to ask to user variable informations like a range of date.
If I generate my java package is it possible that it have my options as parameter of execution?
Ex: java -jar .jar etc.
where the parameter are context variables
If this is possible I can create an external GUI and then execute my Talend job :cool:

I don't see Talend job can be executed as a jar so far. You can execute the job script (the batch file) from the command prompt and pass context parameters. see
