Determin current working directory using java program

HI:
I would like to know is there anyway that I can determine what my current working directory is, using a java program??
Thanks,
Sincerely,
Karen

Properties sysProperties = System.getProperties();
String currDir = sysProperties.get("user.dir");Here's a list of all the properties you can get from sysProperties:

Java.lang.Error: Properties init: Could not determine current working direc

Hi,
We have an application which will copy all the files from a directory on the main server (manager) to all other servers in the cluster.The process is little bit tricky in the sense that all servers will pull the data from manager, copy it to a pending directory and then shut down the rmi process on them, rename pending directory with the original name (some name) and start the rmi process. All the communication is done using RMI calls. We use a GUI tool on windows to initiate this process. We are also running some shell scripts from java in this process. We run this process daily.
The problem is, once in a while we are getting the follwing error on some of the servers in the cluster and the data updates are not happening any more.
Error occurred during initialization of VM
java.lang.Error: Properties init: Could not determine current working directory
We had to start the rmi process on the server again where it failed with the above error and Initiate the process again from GUI. Any ideas, why we get this error? Also, why only once in a while? Our application is running under root context, so i think, running as "root" is not an issue as I see on some of the forums. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

It is possible to remove or rename the working directory of a running process. It (or a child process) might then have trouble when looking for its current working directory.

Installing sp19 to ep60: could not determine current working direcory

Hi,
upgrading EP 6.0 from SP15 to SP19 using sapinst I get the following error message:
ERROR 2007-08-23 10:19:27
CJS-20076 Error while retrieving the mode of the Java EE Engine.<br>SOLUTION: See output of logfile /tmp/sapinst_instdir/PATCH/ORA/getEngineMode.log: 'Error occurred during initialization of VMjava.lang.Error: Properties init: Could not determine current working directory.'.
Can someone help?
Renate

Hi Renate,
This very much sounds like a permission problem. The user with whom you have started SAPINST (and which then started a JVM) seems not to have the permission to read ithin the JVM working directory. Google for "Properties init: Could not determine current working directory" leads to different similar problems.
Check that you start SAPINST with an administrative user (should be the one with whom the installation happened).
Hope it helps

The solution I proposed worked only on Windows XP/2003.
The following solution will work on Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 with JDK 1.2+.
1- Download the [url http://www.gjt.org/download/time/java/jnireg/registry-3.1.3.zip]JNIRegistry zipped archive.
2- Open the registry-3.1.3.zip file and extract in the folder of your choice ( Eg. c:\setenv ) only the 2 first files (when sorted by path): ICE_JNIRegistry.dll and registry.jar.
You don't need to keep the folder tree in the extraction.
3- Create the following SetEnv.java file in the same folder ( Eg. c:\setenv ).
import com.ice.jni.registry.Registry;
import com.ice.jni.registry.RegistryKey;
import com.ice.jni.registry.RegStringValue;
import com.ice.jni.registry.RegistryValue;
public class SetEnv
    static final String REG_HKLM_SUBKEY_NAME = "SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Session Manager\\Environment";
    public static void main(String[] args)
    throws Exception
        new SetEnv().exec(args);
    void exec(String[] args)
    throws Exception
        if (args.length != 2)
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("\n\nUsage: java SetEnv {varName} {varValue}\n\n");
        String varName = args[0];
        String varValue = args[1];
        RegistryKey key = null;
        RegStringValue value;
        try
            key = Registry.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.openSubKey(REG_HKLM_SUBKEY_NAME, RegistryKey.ACCESS_ALL);
            value = new RegStringValue(key, varName, RegistryValue.REG_EXPAND_SZ);
            value.setData(varValue);
            key.setValue(value);
            key.flushKey();
        finally
            try { key.closeKey(); }
            catch (Exception e) {}
}4- Compile it.
javac -classpath .;registry.jar SetEnv.java
5- Run it. varName and varValue are strings of your choice.
java -classpath .;registry.jar -Djava.library.path=. SetEnv varName varValue

How to find cd rom drive in windows and unix platform using java program

Hi,
I am having the requirement of finding the cd rom drive
using java program. I do not know the label and which
one is the cd rom drive. also I want to know how many
cd rom drives are there on my system. I want the solution
for windows and unix platforms.
If have any suggestions please mail to [email protected]
Deepak

Ughhh.. I had the same problem with multi platform file-system detection
First off - Unix.
Do you know for sure you have all your drives mounted?? This could be a big problem because java will not see unmounted drives... So you can scour thru your /etc/fstab to find out which drives are available... or you can mount all and show roots... (Yuck!)... You've got timeouts and all sorts of things to worry about...
I would then shy away from the java.io.File.listRoots() on unix and rely on parsing your fs file. If a user would like to see the medium in the drive. Do a Runtime.exec and mount the drive, then you can grab the filesystem by wrapping it in the java.io.File object. ( NOTE - this will hold well for your NFS mounts as well which might be buried under other FS. So you now have detection for that as well. ) Labels are also noted in this file. Let me know if you don't know the difference between mtab and fstab....
Second - Winders.... Corney but I love saying that.
The listRoots is a good solution. As others have said CD-ROMS will not be writable. Use a combination of getName and getPath to decipher the label and mount point.
Hope this helps!

How to read system eventlog using java program in windows?

How to read system eventlog using java program in windows?
is there any java class available to do this ? or any one having sample code for this?
Your friend Zoe

Hi,
There is no java class for reading event log in windows, so we can do one thing we can use windows system 32 VBS script to read the system log .
The output of this command can be read using java program....
we can use java exec for executing this system32 vbs script.
use the below program and pass the command "eventquery"
plz refer cscript,wscript
import java.io.*;
public class CmdExec {
public static void main(String argv[]) {
try {
String line;
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("Command");
BufferedReader input =
new BufferedReader
(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
while ((line = input.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
input.close();
catch (Exception err) {
err.printStackTrace();
This sample program will list all the system log information....
