How to trap client browser window closing thru JSP or servlets

How to trap client browser window closing thru JSP or servlets?
Gunjan

Hi
Though some JavaScripts may provide you with solutions , yet there is no reliable way to detect the closing of the browser by the servlet. One way to achieve detection of user quitting a session is setting session timeouts ion the server side. This can be done either through the web.xml file or programatically by setting the session.setMaxInactiveInterval().
Good Luck!

UNIX calls from a Windows platform thru JSP

We have a Tomcat Webserver that runs off a Win2000 server. The primary interface is a JSP and the it fetches data out of an Oracle DB (hosted on Unix) and displays the same. Is there any way that I could also make calls to the Unix server to show some stats ... can JSP do that and if so how ?
TIA for the pointers
-Ben

The java is running on the windows 2000 machine.
You can't make any direct system calls to the unix operating system from there.
What sort of stats would you want to see?
The only way I could see it working is
1 - Java process on Win2000 calls another process on the Unix server (via RMI) to send it back the information that it wants.
Its something I would put in a bean/servlet rather than a JSP.

Call/Invoke an OWB Process Flow from a Windows Command/batch

Hi everyone,
I'm newbie in Oracle Warehouse Builder and I've developed some process flows to load data from one database to another.
One of these process, called "MAIN", is the beginning of the execution. I need to call these process flow (MAIN) from the Windows Command Line
or batch (.bat file) to schedule in Windows Sckeduler Tasks.
Anyone have an idea to how to do this?
Thanks a lot!

Check this blog post here that shows how to execute via sqlplus, which you will then be able to wrapper in a batch script or whatever to schedule.

Shell commands from JSP after Forms migration

During application migration from forms 9i to JSP & BC4J, I have to code the following Forms code into my JSP application.This is for a button pressed trigger.
DECLARE
RENAME_STRING VARCHAR2(120):= 'RENAME C:\BRC\PDATA' ||:DRAWING_ACCOUNTS.ACCOUNT_ID|| '.TXT P' || :DRAWING_ACCOUNTS.ACCOUNT_ID || TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'DDMMYY')|| '.txt';

In the first line of the JSP file include the package
<%@page import="BankrecBC4J.*" %>
and call
it this way:from the jsp page
new GoodWindowsExec ("calc"); //
which should open up the calciulator, and should do for other os commands as well.

Is it possible to call ms-dos command in abap program?

Hi,
is it possible to call ms-dos command in abap program?
Thanks.

Hi Cemil,
You probably have your answer here:
[Re: DOS/Windows command in app server;
You create your external command with SM69 (you can test it with SM49).
Then you call this command with function module "SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE".
(See function group SXPT for all the calls to external commands).

Conditionally opening a new browser window from a JSP page

When the user clicks on a button in my JSP page, I'd like to launch a new browser and display certain things in that browser window while leaving the original browser window open. The new browser should only be displayed if certain conditions are met.
My thought was to invoke a javascript method in 'onLoad' which would determine if the new window needs to be launched.
This is kinda what my page looks like:
<jsp:root version="1.2" ................>
    <jsp:directive.page import="java.util.*, com.test.Configuration" contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"/>
    <f:view>
     <ui:body binding="#{Page1.body1}" id="body1" onLoad="launchWindow();">
     </ui:body>
   </f:view>
   <script type="text/javascript">
        function launchWindow(){
         if (Configuration.openWindow()) {
          window.open("hello.jsp", "newWindow", 'toolbar,width=400,height=400');
    </script>
</jsp:root>
My problem is that the call to "Configuration.openWindow()" does not resolve correctly. If I remove that call and simply make a call to "window.open()" all works. But once I put the condition in, nothing happens. I do not see an exception in my browser window but a new browser window does not open.
Is my syntax correct. Can I make a call to the static method 'openWindow()' in my class 'Configuration.java'.
I posted this same query on the JSF forum but received now replies. My question is more suited to the JSP forum and hence I'm posting this question here.
thanks,
tsc

I have made some changes so that I do not directly access the 'Configuration' class in my javascript.
I have a hidden field on my form and when the user clicks the button, in my back bean, I set a value for the hidden field. In the javascript function 'launchWindow()' I check if a value has been set for the hidden field and if yes, I open a new window.
<ui:body binding="#{Page1.body1}" id="body1" onLoad="launchWindow(document.forms[0]);">
<h:inputText id="hiddenField" value="#{formBean.hiddenValue}" />
<script type="text/javascript">
        function launchWindow(form){
            alert("in lw");
            var test = form["form1:hiddenField"].value;
            alert("got test");
            if (test != "")
                window.open("hello.jsp", "newWindow", 'toolbar,width=400,height=400');
            alert ("done test");
</script>When my page is first loaded, the launchWindow() is called and all the alerts popup as expected.
When I click on the button (the back bean sets the value on the hidden field), my page is reloaded but this time its blank.
Any ideas as to why this maybe the case?
thanks,
tsc

How to call Operating System commands / external programs from within APEX

Hi,
Can someone please suggest how to call Operating Systems commands / external programs from within APEX?
E.g. say I need to run a SQL script on a particular database. SQL script, database name, userid & password everything is available in a table in Oracle. I want to build a utility in APEX where by when I click a button APEX should run the following
c:\oracle\bin\sqlplusw.exe userud/password@database @script_name.sql
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Guys,
I have reviewed the option of using scheduler and javascript and they do satisfy my requirements PARTIALLY. Any calls to operating system commands through these features will be made on the server where APEX is installed.
However, here what I am looking at is to call operating systems programs on client machine. For example in my APEX application I have constructed the following strings of commands that needs to be run to execute a change request.
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script1.sql
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script2.sql
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script3.sql
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script4.sql
What I want is to have a button/link on the APEX screen along with these lines so that when I click that link/button this entire line of command gets executed in the same way it would get executed if I copy and paste this command in the command window of windows.
Believe me, if I am able to achieve what I intend to do, it is going to save a lot of our DBAs time and effort.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

Get the Window Name by jsp

Hello
How can I get the Name of the Window with JSP
If I use a JavaScript I can Set a Name by
window.open('jex5.jsp','mywindow');
A New Window Open and
The Window Calls on 'mywindow'
On JavaScript i can read the Name by
Parent.name
But how I can get the Name with JSP
Trank you

Hi Sid,
You can get the detail of the browser from JSP using request.getHeader("User-Agent");
But you cannot get window name using JSP. I can be done only via Javascript.

Calling A Window's Program From Webforms

and DDE commands, but both activate the programs on the server
side, and that these programs are shown in the TASK MANAGER but
never appeared in focus on the screen. Can someone please help?

Calling an Unix command on Remote sun Server in a Java Code

Hello All
I have an Java Application which is run on windows server (I)

I want to call an unix command on server(II) from java application which is on server(I)

or is there any way to open an telnet session within java application
I will be grateful if you give me some suggestion on this issue

Can I use samba in order to call commandYes, smaba supports "magic" files that cause a program to be executed when they are accessed. Note, this does not provide for arguments but you can put these in a file which you command reads.
or is there any way to open an telnet session within java applicationYes. just use a Socket connection.

Need help with Telnet command in JSP

Here is the code I have been working on but it will not display the buffer to the page..
String [] cmd1 = {"cmd.exe","/c","telnet hqsun1.xx.xxxxx.com"};
          Process n;
          String T = "" ;
          n = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd1);
          BufferedReader in1 =
          new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
          n.getInputStream()));
          while((T=in1.readLine()) != null)
          out.println(T+"");
Maybe someone has done this before? I am trying to acomplish a telnet net session to the screen with some exicuted commands, because this tool is going to be used to help determine system status when the help desk needs to check on something.
Thanks

I don't want to be discouraging, but I'm not quite sure you've thought the problem through. You say that you'd like to create a web page capable of providing various pieces of information to the help desk, and you suggest ping and the output of various canned telnet commands as examples.
What is preventing the help desk from just executing those commands at the command prompt?
I realize that the people working the help desk are (ahem) there for a reason, but it is really much faster for me to just simply type "ping www.mpalfrey.com" at the prompt, then it is for me to fire up the web browser and wait for a response that way. You will likewise find that it is a lot more convenient to perform diagnosis on remote machines directly from the command prompt.
Uh, it's kind of like giving someone a screwdriver, then saying, "oh wait a second" and making them wear an oven mitt in order to use the screwdriver.
But, if you really want to do it this way, the best thing to do is create a wrapper class that directly calls the system command and captures the output to a stringbuffer. Then your JSP page simply has to clone that wrapper via a new() command and trigger it if you go the singleton route. The code would look something like this...
<%@ import page="com.mpalfrey.shellcommands.ping" %>
<%
   myPing foo = new myPing( request.getParameter( "victim" ) );
   foo.trigger();
%>
Ping results:
<%=foo.results()%>JSP can do a lot of wonderful things, but that doesn't mean you have to do it that way. :)

Executing system command thru command line by passing it to a server

Hello,
I would like to know if there is any way by which I can call a system command through a java program . This system command takes parameters. If yes then how do i pass these paramaeters. This program will be called thru a sheel scripts and the parameters may vary...

If I just look at the question in your post, I would say the answer is to call Runtime.getRuntime().exec("the system command"). But the title of the post mentioned passing it to a server; I won't attempt to answer that without knowing what it's all about.
