If you have used WLST in interactive mode I bet you are tired of typing those quotes around arguments for each command and not to mention the opening and closing brackets. Well not sure about you but I was definitely tired of this while developing WLST. Hence I have implemented a way to ease this syntax at least while navigating MBeans. The way it works is, while you are in Online mode execute the command ‘easeSyntax()’. After this, for commands like ‘cd’ and ‘ls’ you do not need to follow the jython syntax. As an example, currently to navigate to Server MBeans you will use,

cd(“/Servers/testServer”)

ls()

After executing easeSyntax() to navigate around you will use.

cd /Servers/testServer

ls

aah, I know what you are thinking. Sorry, there is no tab complete .. :-)
