Accessing MSAccess DB mdb from java program deployed on Unix

Could someone provide the solution for connecting MSAccess DB which is on a Windows Server
from a java web application deployed on weblogic in Unix platform.
Basically i would like to know how we can get access to the mdb file on windows.
jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=c:/employee.mdb;DriverID=22;READONLY=true"
Im using sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver.

Thanks for the reply ..
This url given works perfectly for a java appln in windows as the .mdb path (c:/employee.mdb or from a shared drive \\shared\employee.mdb) is understood by the appln
But my java application in Unix wants to call AccessDB in Windows.
I wanted know how we can connect from java appln in Unix to an Access DB which is in Windows like any other database ie through a hostname port etc. or any other wayBasically you can't.
You can start by reading the following.

There is an update to that post in that now there is a java only commercial (you must pay for it) driver that one can use for MS Access. So that option exists now.

    Once you mounted the CDROM (something maybe as /media/cdrom) as a file system (or assigned a drive letter to it like D: or F: or whatever), the files are accessible normally.

  • Calling oracle SQL Loader from java program

    Hi,
    I want to insert data into oracle tables from a text files containing fixed length fields. I am using SQLLoader to achieve this. The requirement is to call the SQLLoader within the java program.
    Does anyone know how to call SQL Loader from java program?
    Thanks,
    Varsha

    Simply "exec" the sqlldr program with the parameters you need to pass to it.
    Runtime.exec (........)
    Try to pass all parameters needed including the username and password, and use the option "silent" to avoid output, and the option "log" to have a log file of the modifications that sqlldr has done to the database.

  • SOLVED: How To Use LDAP over SSL (no certs) from java program

    Trying to connect to OID from Java program (using Grocery Store demo as a test). Want to use SSL with no server certificate. OID is configured, and ldapsearch -U 1 works.
    Tried using URL with ldaps, or adding SECURITY_PROTOCOL,"ssl". In both case the error is 'simple bind failed'.
    Samples on OTN say this should be possible, but then only have code for the non-ssl connection.
    Posting from others with this same question don't seem to have been answered.
    Message was edited by:
    user590350
    I have found that using ConnectionUtil.getSSLDirCtx() from Oracle will make a no-authentication SSL connection. An example in the sample code would be useful.

    Even with Java APIs, There is a way to talk through SSL without bothering about certificates. It's just that you will have to write some code and make some changes in settings.
    Read following to get further information on the same.
    http://kiranthakkar.blogspot.com/2007/04/dummny-certificate-authentication.html
    I don't know or I won't comment whether it's the right approach or not but it's definitely a work around.

  • Problem while running dos command from java program

    Dear friends,
    I need to terminate a running jar file from my java program which is running in the windows os.
    For that i have an dos command to find process id of java program and kill by using tskill command.
    Command to find process id is,
    wmic /output:ProcessList.txt process where "name='java.exe'" get commandline,processid
    This command gives the ProcessList.txt file and it contains the processid. I have to read this file to find the processid.
    when i execute this command in dos prompt, it gives the processid in the ProcessList.txt file. But when i execute the same command in java program it keeps running mode only.
    Code to run this command is,
    public class KillProcess {
         public static void main(String args[]) {
              KillProcess kProcess = new KillProcess();
              kProcess.getRunningProcess();
              kProcess = new KillProcess();
              kProcess.readProcessFile();
         public void getRunningProcess() {
              String cmd = "wmic /output:ProcessList.txt process where \"name='java.exe'\" get commandline,processid";
              try {
                   Runtime run = Runtime.getRuntime();
                   Process process = run.exec(cmd);
                   int i = process.waitFor();
                   String s = null;
                   if(i==0) {
                        BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new
                               InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
                        while ((s = stdInput.readLine()) != null) {
                         System.out.println("--> "+s);
                   } else {
                        BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new
                               InputStreamReader(process.getErrorStream()));
                        while ((s = stdError.readLine()) != null) {
                         System.out.println("====> "+ s);
                   System.out.println("Running process End....");
              } catch(Exception e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
         public String readProcessFile() {
              System.out.println("Read Process File...");
              File file = null;
              FileInputStream fis = null;
              BufferedReader br = null;
              String pixieLoc = "";
              try {
                   file = new File("ProcessList.txt");
                   if (file.exists() && file.length() > 0) {
                        fis = new FileInputStream(file);
                        br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fis, "UTF-16"));
                        String line;
                        while((line = br.readLine()) != null)  {
                             System.out.println(line);
                   } else {
                        System.out.println("No such file");
              } catch (Exception e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
              return pixieLoc;
    }     when i remove the process.waitFor(), then while reading the ProcessList.txt file, it says "No such file".
    if i give process.waitFor(), then it's in running mode and program is not completed.
    Colud anyone please tell me how to handle this situation?
    or Is there anyother way to kill the one running process in windows from java program?
    Thanks in advance,

    and keeps in running mode only.
    If i open the file when program in running mode, no contents in that file.
    If i terminte the program and if i open the file, then i find the processid in that file.
    Can you help me to solve this issue?
