DOS command from a WebDynpro

hi,
How can i call a DOS command from a WebDynpro Application. I tried this piece of code but it does not work.
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd/c help");
Can somebody guide me with the same.
Thanks,

Hi,
From Webdynpro its not possible until and unless its uploaded to the server.
Due to the following reasons
WD code runs in the server.
No client side scripting possible in WD.

DOS command from java applet

Hi, I need to perform a DOS command from Java (using WFC if needed)...
I have no idea, so please help!
Thank you.

OH OH OH WAIT! It is an Applet! i think there will be some security issues here! Sure enough you can't execute commands on the system from an applet unless you make some changes on the java.policy files on the client machine (that means, if your applet is in a web page, every machine which view your page).

You use Runtime.execute().

How to run multiple DOS commands from a single Webutil Client_Host session?

Hello all,
I have a requirement where I need to create an interface with SVN from Forms for basic checkin-checkout of files.
So, I've been trying to use webutil client_host to open a command line session and issue svn commands.
For svn, sometimes I need to give multiple commands like change to a particular directory and then run an svn command.
But client_host takes in only one command at a time and I'm unable to issue a series of DOS commands to perform
a particular task.
Is there a way to do this?
Pls suggest.
Regards,
Sam

First your original question... You can put more than one DOS command on a single line, simply separate each command with an ampersand (&). For example:
mkdir c:\abc & cd abc & dir*
Regarding your concerns about performance, well that would depend on exactly what you mean. Using CLIENT_HOST (or HOST on the server) simply opens a shell (DOS in this case) then passes your command to it. The performance of performing this action really isn't measurable. Basically you are just pressing a button and you should get a near immediate action. As for the performance of executing each command, that has nothing to do with Forms. Once the command is passed to the shell, the rest is a function of the shell and whatever command you passed.
Having said that, if you were to write something sloppy like a loop (in pl/sql) which called CLIENT_HOST lots of times repeatedly, then yes there would be a performance problem because the pushing of the button will cause an exchange to and from the server and each cycle in the loop will do the same.
So the answer to how performance is impacted will depend on what exactly you need to accomplish. If it is a single call to CLIENT_HOST, this should be fine.

Executing a dos command from java in windows nt

i need to execute the
" net send"
command from the command line in windows nt, from within my java program... is there any way that i can execute cmommands in the dos command shell? or rather, does anybody know a way i can send a message ( in windows ) from java, from one computer to another over the lan?? I cannot have a java programming running on all the other computers, so i cannot make my program serve, it must just send the messges using a lan command....
(the net send command just sends a message in the form of a pop up box on the receiver's screeen)
thanks a bunch guys!!!
Thanks a bunch guys!!!!

you can do that with exec() in Runtime.
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc = rt.exec(command here);but before you do that you need to read this:

Error using DOS Command from Java

Hi,
I am using the following code to execute the DOS command to delete a file from Java.
cmd = "del " + fileName;
Runtime run = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc = run.exec(cmd);
Getting the following exception during runt time.
Exception = java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: del D:\LAWDOCS\P50074\12\3\36857.3 error=2 --
Can some body throw light on this?.
Thanks,
Jeyaraman R

"del" is not an actual executable file, but instead a command in the command interpreter. So you can't just execute del like that, you have to run the command interpreter and tell it to execute the del command.
If you are on windows NT, 2000 or XP, replace your command with "cmd /C del " + filename.
If you are on Windows 95, 98 or ME, use "command /C del " + filename. (I am not quite sure if the switch for this is called /C on old windows version.)
(But why not use File.delete()?)

Execute DOS command from java application

Hello,
I want to execute a DOS command (MOVE, in order to move an image from a folder to an other) from a java application. How can I do this?
Francesco

Yes I have tested it and it is working but only when executing a bacth file. For instance:
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
try{
Process proc = rt.exec("move.bat");
}catch(Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}and the command in move.bat is:
move c:\\temp\\*.gif C:\\temp2
You don't have to use double slashes in batch files, only in Java. But anyway it is working both ways.
It is not working when you try to execute the command without the batch file:
Process proc = rt.exec("move c:\\temp\\*.gif C:\\temp2"); -> this will not work.
It should work. Try to execute another command to see what happens.

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,
Sathish

}when i execute the above code, i got output as,
Execing cmd.exe /C wmic process where "name='java.exe'" get commandline,processid
and keeps in running mode only.
If i execute the same command in dos prompt,
CommandLine
ProcessId
java -classpath ./../lib/StartApp.jar;./../lib; com.abc.middle.startapp.StartAPP 2468
If i modify the command as,
cmd.exe /C wmic process where "name='java.exe'" get commandline,processid > 123.txt
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?

Calling DOS command from a webpage?

How would I go about doing this? I want a webpage that when an image is clicked this DOS command is called:
rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen Image_Location\image.jpgThis command opens the image in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. I'm not worried about portability since this is only going to be on my home network. I figure I'll probably need Java or something to do this, but I've no clue where to start looking. Help is appreciated!

How would I go about doing this? I want a webpage
that when an image is clicked this DOS command is
called:First of all, this is not a Java-related question. It is an HTML and browser capabilities question.
Second of all, in general this is not possible. If it were, imagine the security issues allowing a web page to arbitrarily allow executing anything on the client victim's machine. At best the user has to configure his browser to "trust" content from the site in question. Since you as the application provider can't force this configuration to happen automatically, you're out of luck unless you are in complete control over the clients (such as if they are all within the corporate intranet only).

Runnig DOS commands from the java code?

Hi reader,
how can I execute DOS commands (I am on an Windows XP Machine) from my java code and also capture the output?
I think the
runtime.exec(command)
only executes win32 processes.
Please suggest
TIA
Ayusman

Again, this link should tell you most of what you need to know:
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html
You're not limited to the Win32 platform unless you're using specific DOS commands. Perhaps if you're just after file system information then some of the classes in the java.io package can help.
If it's not enough, perhaps a resource bundle or something similar can provide you with the names of the external programs you need to run, i.e. "dir" for win and "ls" for *nix.
