Run a war file in command Prompt using PowerShell

Question

I have to deploy a war file in a location in D:\\Temp\\$todaydate in command prompt as Admin using PowerShell, so my command should open the cmd prompt as admin in path D:\\Temp\\$todaydate run Javapath "\\apps\\wsserver\\9.0\\base\\java\\8.0\\bin\\jar.exe" -cvf foo.war`

I have tried using Start-Process -Verb "RunAs" but since I am new to PowerShell I couldn't finish the code

Start-Process -java "jar.exe" -ArgumentList "/K cd /d D:\temp\$todaydate" -Verb "runas"

Answer 1

My guess $todayDate shall be the actual date. You can try to use the call operator (&) to invoke Java.

$d =((get-date).ToShortDateString()) 
$dashDate = $d -replace "/", "-"
$dPath ="D:/temp/$dashDate" 
New-Item $dPath - ErrorAction SilentlyContinoue
Push-Location
Set-Location $dPath
# Use absolute path to Java.exe and war file in below statement 
& "java.exe -cvf foo.war" 
Pop-Location

If you need to resolve variable names when calling Java use invoke-expression instead the call operator.

Call operator :

Runs a command, script, or script block. The call operator, also known as the "invocation operator," lets you run commands that are stored in variables and represented by strings or script blocks.
