Getting the output from a Perl script using Runtime.exec

I cannot get the output from a perl script using Java. Can someone PLEASE help?
I used the following code:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Perl\\bin\\Perl.exe script.pl) ;
InputSream in = p.getInputStream();
b...
do
System.out.println(b);
while ((b = in.read()) > 0)
But there is no way that I get the output in the inputstream. If I use the command "cmd script.pl", the output is displayed in the Dos box, but also not in the inputstream.
I will appreciate any help.

Try this
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Perl\\bin\\Perl.exe script.pl) ;
BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String str;
while((str=rd.readLine())!=null){
System.out.println(str);

How to get the values from struct data type using java code..?

Hi ,
I am newer to java.
we are using oracle database.
How to get the data from struct data type using java code.

Hi Rajeev,
To retrieve a FilterContainer you will need to traverse the report structure:
ReportStructure boReportStructure = boDocumentInstance.getStructure();
ReportContainer boReportContainer = (ReportContainer) boReportStructure.getReportElement(0);
FilterContainer boFilterContainer = null;
if (boReportContainer.hasFilter()) {
boFilterContainer = boReportContainer.getFilter();
} else {
boFilterContainer = boReportContainer.createFilter(LogicalOperator.AND);
Calling boDocumentInstance.getStructure() will retrieve the entire structure for the document.
Calling boReportStructure.getReportElement(0) will retrieve the structure for the first report of the document.
Hope this helps.

I have an old iPod Classic with 80 GB (I think) of space. I saved all my songs in an external hard drive, but the iTunes library resided in an old computer (no longer working). Can I get the libray from my iPod and use it in my new computer (Windows)?

How to get the columns from SYS.ALL_COLUMNS and use it in COALESCE() Function.

Hi,
I have table called Employe. And the Columns are Emp_ID,EMP_NAME,SRC_SYS_CD,DOB
I have Query like
Select
COALESCE(MAX(CASE WHEN src_sys_cd='1' THEN Emp_id END), MAX(CASE WHEN src_sys_cd='2' THEN Emp_Id END))Emp_Id,
COALESCE(MAX(CASE WHEN src_sys_cd='1' THEN Emp_name END), MAX(CASE WHEN src_sys_cd='2' THEN Emp_Name END))Emp_name,
COALESCE(MAX(CASE WHEN src_sys_cd='1' THEN dob END), MAX(CASE WHEN src_sys_cd='2' THEN dob END))dob ,
from Employe
group by dob.
I want to generalize the query like get the columns from SYS.ALL_COLUMNS table for that table name and want to pass it to COALEACE() function. I tried with Cursor. But i didnt get the appropriate results.
Is there any way to achieve this? Please help me out in this regard.
Thanks,

Trying to run external script using Runtime.exec

Hey,
I am trying to use Runtime.exec(cmd, evnp, dir) to execute a fortran program and get back its output, however it seems to always be hanging. Here is my code snippet :
            Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(
                  "./fortranCodeName > inputFile.txt" , null, new File("/home/myRunDir/"));
            InputStream stream = new InputStream(process.getInputStream());
            InputStream error = new InputStreamr(process.getErrorStream());
            BufferedReader stdoutReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stream));
            BufferedReader erroutReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(error));
            System.out.println(stream.available()); //returns 0
            System.out.println(error.available());     //returns 0
            while (true) {
                String line1 = stdoutReader.readLine(); //hangs here
                String line2 = erroutReader.readLine();
                if (line1 == null) {
                    break;
                System.out.println(line1);
                System.out.println(line2);
            }I know for a fact that this fortran code prints out stuff when run it in terminal, but I don't know if I have even set up my Runtime.exec statement properly. I think I am clearing out my error and input streams with the whole reader.readLine bit I have above, but I am not sure. If you replace the command with something like "echo helloWorld" or "pwd", it prints out everything properly. I also am fairly confident that I have no environmental variables that are used in the fortran code, as I received it from another computer and haven't set up any in my bash profile.
Any Ideas?

Okay, so I implemented the changes from that website (thanks by the way for that link, it helps me understand this a little better). However, my problem is still occuring. Here is my new code:

            String type;
            StreamThread(InputStream is, String type)
                this.is = is;
                this.type = type;
            public void run()
                try
                    InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is); //never gets called
                    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
                    String line=null;
                    while ( (line = br.readLine()) != null)
                        System.out.println(type +">"+ line);
                    } catch (IOException ioe)
                        ioe.printStackTrace();
        try {
            Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(
                  "./fortranCodeName" , null, new File("/home/myRunDir/"));
            StreamThread stream = new StreamThread(process.getInputStream(), "OUTPUT");
            StreamThread errorStream = new StreamThread(process.getInputStream(), "ERROR");
            stream.start();
            errorStream.start();

Parameter to shell script using Runtime.exec(string)

Hi all, ( Speciall hi to dheeraj tak )
Briefly : How do i pass an arguement to a non - java executible being called using Runtime.exec.
In detail : i am using Runtime.exec to call a shell script : The code is as follows:
String callAndArgs[] = {"/home/tom/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24/webapps/dash/script.sh"};
try {
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process child = rt.exec(callAndArgs);
This works properly & calls the shell script which in turn invokes some other executible (c file).
$HOME/midi/test/build/bin/<C-EXECUTIBLE>
Here i am specifying the name (say hello.exe ) . So far so good.
I want to make this happen dynamiclaly. so i need to pass the name of the executible as a parameter to the script.
To pass a parameter i hav to change the string to :-
String callAndArgs[] = {"/home/tom/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24/webapps/dash/script.sh <C-EXECUTIBLE HERE>"};
and the script to
$HOME/midi/test/build/bin/$1 --- where $1 refers to argument 1. (C-EXECUTIBLE AGAIN).
This is giving an IO - Execption. Plz help
Code will be very helpful.
Thanx in advance

some 1 plz tell me the difference :-
This is the documentation of Runtime.exec that i found :-
1> exec
public Process exec(String command) throws IOException
Executes the specified string command in a separate process.
The command argument is parsed into tokens and then executed as a command in a separate process. This method has exactly the same effect as exec(command, null).
Parameters:
command - a specified system command
Complete refernce says : Process (String progName) ----- Executes a program specified by programname as a seperate process.
2> exec
public Process exec(String cmdarray[]) throws IOException
Executes the specified command and arguments in a separate process.
The command specified by the tokens in cmdarray is executed as a command in a separate process. This has exactly the same effect as exec(cmdarray, null).
Parameters:
cmdarray - array containing the command to call and its arguments.
Complete reference says : Process exec(String comLineArray[]) ---- Executes the command line specified bythe string in comLineArray as a seperate process.
This means that there is provision 4 command line arguments...
how do u use it then????????????????????????????

Getting the Details from a HTTP Request using C#

Hi,
Suppose, a user submits a form with some details as Address, Phone Number etc.. to a Web Application. On the client side, I need to have a proxy to intercept this http request message being sent to the Server and get the details in it like Phone number and
Address in this case and display them to user in a pop up box for confirming and if he clicks YES, then only I should forward the request to Web Server/Web Application.
If the user feels that the information shown to him is not correct he can Click NO and the request will not be sent to the Server. Anyone know how to use this in DOTNET WEB APPLICATIONS?
I need to write code for the Proxy Part, I am not sure how to handle HTTP messages and from where to start with. Any help would be of great help.
Thanks

How to get the cookie from a web service using Axis

I used the AXIS wizard to consume a WSDL and create a bunch of boiler plate code. It works great in that I can talk to the web service and submit requests.
The problem is that I need to retrieve the cookie from the login request and use it when making subsequent requests. I have been unable to find the cookie and would appreciate a point in the right direction.
Currently I'm trying something like this
String cookie = (String)((Stub)service)._getCall().getMessageContext().getProperty(HTTPConstants.HEADER_COOKIE);
Thanks in advance.

Answered on my own:
Just have to use

How to wait till the end of DOS program started using Runtime.exec(cmd)?

In my Java program I need to call two DOS batch programs namely call.bat and start.bat. First I need to start the batch program call.bat and once that program is completed, I need to call the other batch file start.bat.
The piece of code which I am using is:
public static void ExecuteScripts(){
try {
\\Start the first batch program call.bat
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start .\\scripts\\call.bat");
p.waitFor();
System.out.println("Exit value "+p.exitValue());
\\Start the second batch program run.bat
Process p1 = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start .\\scripts\\run.bat");
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
For this piece of code it starts the first batch program(i.e, call.bat) in a command prompt and immediately it starts the second batch program (i.e, run.bat) in another command prompt. So it runs both the batch programs simultanesously. But what I wanted is that my program should wait till the first batch is executed and then start the second batch.
Please tell me how to wait between these two runtime commands in JAVA
With regards,
C.Chenthil.
-------------------

Hi everybody thanks a lot.
I got a solution from another forum. Kindly find the solution
public static void ExecuteScripts(){
try {
\\Start the first batch program call.bat
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start/wait .\\scripts\\call.bat");
p.waitFor();
System.out.println("Exit value "+p.exitValue());
\\Start the second batch program run.bat
Process p1 = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start/wait .\\scripts\\run.bat");
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start/wait .\\scripts\\call.bat"); is the switch that served my purpose.

How to get the data from RFC ?

Hi,
I am using the Import Adaptive RFC Model, where the RFC display the amatrial Information date.
But when I deploy the application I am not getting the data.
How to test the bindings are correct as well as is any lines of code has to be written in the Implementation part?
Please suggest
regards,
CSP

Hi,
First, drag and drop the Z<RFCNode>_Input node from model to custum controller.
From there, u can select both input and output parameters.
After that, Make sure that In custom controller's init(), the following code is present
Z<RFCNode>_Input input=new Z<RFCNode>_Input();
wdContext.nodeZ<RFCNode>_Input().bind(input);
Create execute() method in custom controller and in execute method, check whether u added
wdContext.currentZ<RFCNode>_InputElement().set<InputParam>(inputparametervalue); // If any i/p parameter is there. You can set this from view also if u mapped the RFC node to view
wdContext.currentZ<RFCNode>_InputElement().modelObject().execute();
Also check all mappings are done correctly.
After saving all, Call execute() method from view as wdThis.wdget<custcontroller>().execute();
After execute(), u will get the output from node Output, which is inside Z<RFCNode>_Input node.

If you are using IE go to tool and then internet options and look under privacy for you cookie status(this will vary version).
To use URL rewriting all you have to do is one of two things:
www.url.com?parm=value&param2=value
or if the value is a result of a java expression or is a java variable you can do
www.url.com?parm=<%=variable%>&param2=<%=(variable +1)%>
You get the values from url rewriting by using request.getParameter or getParameterValues(used when multiple values are getting passed).
When data is retrieved using getParameter it always comes back as a string and you should trim them as well.

IOException File not found - While using Runtime.exec

Hey All,
I have written a Java application which needs to start up another external application. I have executables for that external application for different platforms (Win32, PPC and Linux). When the Java application is started it detects the OS and starts up the right executable according to the OS. The executable loads up fine on Windows without any problems. But in both Linux and Max OS X I get this exception:
java.io.IOException: java.io.IOException: "/home/vilas/Documents/Project/build/CLISP/linux/lisp.run": not found

        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:534)lisp.run has all the necessary permissions. If I copy the string (/home/vilas/Documents/Project/build/CLISP/linux/lisp.run) and paste it in a terminal and press enter, the application starts up fine without any problems!! Can you please tell me what could be going wrong?
The following extra information maybe helpfull:
1) I use the exec(String command, String[] envp, File dir) version of exec.
2) The complete format of the command is as follows (one long string):
"/home/vilas/Documents/Project/build/CLISP/linux/lisp.run" -B "/home/vilas/Documents/Project/build/CLISP/linux" -M "/home/vilas/Documents/Project/build/CLISP/linux/lispinit.mem" -i loader.lisp
Thanks in advance for your time and efforts.

I found the problem after extensively searing the forums (looking upto page 4 !! of the results). The problem was that I was using quotes to surround the paths in the command. If you copy and paste it in a terminal it will work fine but it does not work with runtime.exec. I am not sure, but I think the reason is that when a terminal is used, some pre-processing of the commands take place before they are passed onto the OS(shell). But while using runtime.exec, that pre-processing is not peformed and therefore some things will not work.
In order to fix the problem, I use quotes only when the OS is windows. In other cases(OS X, Linux) I escape the spaces i.e. replace " " with "\ ".
PS: The executable is a binary compiled from C code.
