How can I use a Java program to write an executable Applescript
I'm using a PC with Windows XP. I'm a private developer. I've written a project in Java and wish to deploy it to other people using email. I've written an Install program (the Main-Class) and successfully packed this in a jar file with the project class files and some data files all as described in the deployment trail in the Java Tutorials. A recipient with a Mac with OS X downloads the jar file and runs it to install the project class files and some data files. The install program then writes an Applescript file (Vocab.scpt shown below) on the Desktop to make starting my downloaded program easier but it doesn't seem to work and I think it may be because the script file is not "executable". Could this be the case? If so, how could I change my install program to make the script file executable or alternatively use some other system to start the downloaded program?
Vocab.scpt:-
# Script to start: Vocab Version: 1.0.0
do shell script "cd /Applications/Vocab; Java Vocab"
Many thanks for your interest. Unfortunately I don't have a Mac to experiment with this problem and although I have spent some days on and off trying to find an answer in the mass of information available on Apple's website I can only find small clues here and there to answer my problem (which I would have thought was quite a common one). In Windows a batch file (eg. Vocab.bat) is automatically executable.
I didn't expect you to have your customer run the command. I would expect you to create the executable and install it. However, there wouldn't be any difference in what you are creating and the .jar file. Either way it is a faceless icon. For that matter, it is no different than a batch file on Windows. I'm not sure what they wouldn't understand with, "copy the Vocab.jar file to wherever you want and double-click it to run the program." In addition, you probably ought to point out that Java is not installed on Mac OS X Lion (10.7.x) and when they double-click the jar file (or whatever you send them), the system will ask if they want to install Java.
What you really need to do is package up the app inside a Mac application package and provide the user with the application on a .dmg (disk image). Take a look here: http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Java/Conceptual/Jar_Bundle r/Introduction/Introduction.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40000884
I also found this which uses ANT to create the bundle: http://informagen.com/JarBundler/

How can I use Seeburger java functions on SAP XI's user defined functions?
Hi All,
As my title implies; how can I use Seeburger java functions on SAP XI's user defined functions? I've tried searching over the net in tutorials regarding this topic but I failed to find one; can someone provide me information regarding my question? thanks very much.
best regards,
MikeHi Mike !
You should check your documentation about which java classes you need to reference in the "import" section of your UDF. And also deploy the java classes into the java stack or include them as a imported archive in integration repository...it should be stated in the seeburger documentation.
What kind of functions are you trying to use?

How can I use JTA in my business logic and execute process with PAPI?
HI All,
How can I use JTA in my business logic and execute process with PAPI?
When my business logic has exception, the process will rollback.
or the process has some exceptions, my business logic also will rollback.
I don't know how to do it.
Does anyone know how to do it?Thank you for your reply, Daniel.
But I think I did not express my mind clearly.
There is a scene that I have 2 Application Server.
My business code is deployed in one Server.
The BPM is deployed in another Server.
I want to execute Task use PAPI.(ProcessServiceSession.runActivity)
In my business code, I will do something before execute Task.
I need my business logic and Task in same transaction.
To ensure them "all-or-nothing" .
As you say, if The transactions are managed by Oracle BPM.
then can I retrieve OBPM transcaction in my business code? -
How can you get a java program working on a cell phone?
I was thinking of making some stuff for cell phones so i was wondering how you get a normal java program to work on cells.
its all j2me - midlet package....Huh? The jsr-118 MID profile alone has 11 packages, one of which is javax.microedition.midlet. Notj2me - midlet.
works best on nokia phones.Sez who? You seem to be confusing Java ME with Symbian C.
you can use net beans midlet packge add-on.Only it's called the NetBeans Mobiliity Pack.
Its easy to use and has lots of tutorials.Ditto for the Wireless toolkit for CLDC.
just search on google.Yes, but with which keywords?
@OP:
NetBeans mobility pack comes with a short tutorial and several samples, you also need to download the latest WTK as the ver. 2.2 which comes bundled with NetBeans is just too buggy to work with. Then there are the manufacturer-specific SDKs from Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson and (maybe) others.
If and when you get started in Java ME aka j2me, it will be appropriate to post any questions you might have on the mobility forums, not here.
Google "j2me tutorial" for many good hits.

How can I run a java program on Linux?
I have JBuilder's IDE installed on my Linux partition and it works. However I don't know how to compile and test a program without it. Also I tried to install Limewire on Linux and although I've installed the Java SDK on the system. Once before I installed JBuilder and then JBuilder (I guess) installed it again. However it told me it couldn't find the Java Virtual Machine. Isn't this installed with the JDK? I am able to run programs through JBuilder so I can't see why I'd have a problem. Any answers to the above issues would be greatly appreciated.
Go here and work out how to make a simple app to compile and run on the command line: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/getStarted/cupojava/unix.html#2b
(You should find the JDK from a directory under the jbuilder directory so use that and not the /usr/local/jdk1.4 in the example.)
Then find the classes or source code of your project and do the same thing to it. -
How can I open a java program through another program?
Can someone tell me what's wrong with my code?
<CODE>
String thisFile = "javaw -classpath D:/DirectLink/classes;C:/JBuilderX/jdk1.4/jre/lib/rt.jar directlink.DirectLink";
try {
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /C start " + thisFile);
catch (Exception e) {
</CODE>
This code will handle other programs however I don't know how to write it so it will work with calling another class.Yeah, I made sure it was in the path. I even used the
exact command from a command prompt. Well almost, I
had quotes around the classpath.
Eh? Quotes around the classpath? Sorry if I was being unclear. What I mean is when I call this from a command prompt I put double quotation marks around the classpath like so:
javaw -classpath "D:/DirectLink/classes;C:/JBuilderX/jdk1.4/jre/lib/rt.jar" directlink.DirectLink
In the code on top I wrote it as a string and there were no quotation marks around the classpath.
However, I'm not
sure if I can use single quotes with java to simulate
this or whether I can use a \" in it's place.
I'm not sure what you're saying...but note that when you call exec you're not passing control to the shell, ?>so shell metacharacters are not interpreted.Once again sorry for not being clear. What I meant was I didn't know if I could write it like this:
tempString = "javaw -classpath \"D:/DirectLink/classes;C:/JBuilderX/jdk1.4/jre/lib/rt.jar\" directlink.DirectLink"
And whether this would work. All I really was asking is how can I pass the command to cmd so it will interprete it as it did when I entered it in manually before. I wanted to pass the command to cmd with double quotation marks around the classpath because that's how I did it earlier. I just wasn't sure how to do it.
What I'm wondering is since it's a java class is there a
better way to call it especially since executing
commands seems to be different between different OS's?
You can invoke it directly. Why did you decide to create a new process?Frankly, I don't understand the command very well. I haven't had to use it before and I'm really just trying to get a feel for it. I usually like to get something working, play around with some options, get more of a hands on feel. Then I usually will do more research on it. I was looking at some posts on the exec command and I tried a few of them and this one worked for me when it came to opening apps so I decided to give it a try. -
How can i run my java program in background process?
hi all,
i am working on desktop monitoring so when i start my program on client machine that is visible to all but i want this program client not visible to all instead of this can be run in background process . so, nobody can see that.
so, how i can do this ?
pls pls help me
thanks in advanced to helper
regards
maulik & riteshthis will run the java program in the background.It'll just use the Windows Java Console instead of the command-line console. It has nothing to do with running as a background process.
Edit: though this might be exactly what the OP wants: not "background process" but "no DOS console". -

How can I call a java-program as receiver
Hi Folks,
I have to call a java program, based on the XI-Server as receiver. My qustions are:
What is the right adapter type
What are the parameters to give the xml to the program
Thanks a lot
matthiasHi Mathias,
I would suggest, generate a java proxy of ur inbound interface (reciever).
1. In the java proxy implementation method you will
have access to the message sent to the interface,
2. You could then use this message(XML) and Call ur
custom java program from the java proxy.
here is a link on how to implement java proxies

How can I make a Java program pyramid using for loops??
Hi guys, so I'm stuck with my program here... I don't know how to make it work, and i've been trying really hard.. So now i give up and need some guidance.. Please help me here.
Your job in this assignment is to write programs to solve each of these six problems.
1. Write a GraphicsProgram subclass that draws a pyramid consisting of bricks
arranged in horizontal rows, so that the number of bricks in each row decreases by
one as you move up the pyramid, as shown in the following sample run:
The pyramid should be centered at the bottom of the window and should use
constants for the following parameters:
BRICK_WIDTH The width of each brick (30 pixels)
BRICK_HEIGHT The height of each brick (12 pixels)
BRICKS_IN_BASE The number of bricks in the base (14)
The numbers in parentheses show the values for this diagram, but you must be able
to change those values in your program.
* File: Pyramid.java
* Name:
* Section Leader:
* This file is the starter file for the Pyramid problem.
* It includes definitions of the constants that match the
* sample run in the assignment, but you should make sure
* that changing these values causes the generated display
* to change accordingly.
import acm.graphics.*;
import acm.program.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class Pyramid extends GraphicsProgram {
/** Width of each brick in pixels */
private static final int BRICK_WIDTH = 30;
/** Width of each brick in pixels */
private static final int BRICK_HEIGHT = 12;
/** Number of bricks in the base of the pyramid */
private static final int BRICKS_IN_BASE = 14;
public void run() {
}That's my problem.yo, so i figure out my for loop. my code is very very very very ugly, so dont laugh i know its ugly! just wanna ask for some tips
public void run() {
int initBrick = 30;
int initPlacement = (getWidth() - BRICK_WIDTH) / 2;
for (int i = 0; i < initBrick; i += 30)
int initX = i;
int x = initX + initPlacement;
GRect brick = new GRect(x, 0, BRICK_WIDTH, BRICK_HEIGHT);
add(brick);
for (int i = 0; i < 60; i += 30)
int initX = i;
int x = (initX + initPlacement) - 15;

add(brick);
for (int i = 0; i < 120; i += 30)
int initX = i;
int x = (initX + initPlacement) - 45;

int initX = i;
int x = (initX + initPlacement) - 120;
int y = 96;
GRect brick = new GRect(x, y, BRICK_WIDTH, BRICK_HEIGHT);
add(brick);
for (int i = 0; i < 300; i += 30)
int initX = i;
int x = (initX + initPlacement) - 135;
int y = 108;
GRect brick = new GRect(x, y, BRICK_WIDTH, BRICK_HEIGHT);
add(brick);
for (int i = 0; i < 330; i += 30)
int initX = i;
int x = (initX + initPlacement) - 150;
int y = 120;
GRect brick = new GRect(x, y, BRICK_WIDTH, BRICK_HEIGHT);
add(brick);
for (int i = 0; i < 360; i += 30)
int initX = i;
int x = (initX + initPlacement) - 165;
int y = 132;
GRect brick = new GRect(x, y, BRICK_WIDTH, BRICK_HEIGHT);

int initX = i;

int y = 156;
GRect brick = new GRect(x, y, BRICK_WIDTH, BRICK_HEIGHT);
add(brick);
}So yeah, it's very ugly. not general. BUT now; I know the logic of the program..
I need to change 3 variables here.
the Y var, the X variable, and the size of the loop test..
so I need to make a one compact for loop that will change those 3 for every time the loop finish, or for every row the variable will change...
Ill try to think again, ill head to the balcony, and squeeze my brain. YEAH it took me this long to figure this out, anyway im a noob YET. But i was working a while ago.
ANYWAY, leave some tips please.. I NEED TIPS NOT SOLUTION
