Execute gnuplot from java

Hi,
I want to execute gnuplot from java, I can get the console to open using:
Process theProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/Java/gnuplot/bin/wgnuplot.exe");But I want it to open gnuplot and open a file, for example 'foo.bat'. I've tried:
Process theProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/Java/gnuplot/bin/wgnuplot.exe, foo.bat");However this throws a file not found exception, any ideas?
Thanks.

Process theProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/Java/gnuplot/bin/wgnuplot.exe, foo.bat");
...1 - should there be a comma after wgnuplot.exe?
2 - try providing the absolute path for foo.bat like this:
Process theProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/Java/gnuplot/bin/wgnuplot.exe /path/to/foo.bat");

Executing jar from java code, then kill parent java code

Please suggest if there is any best way around on executing jar from java code then killing parent java code.
a) I have desktop based java application say "Monitor.java" which runs every 5 minutes.
b) How can I START external java application say "execute.jar" from Monitor.java THEN EXIT Monitor.java
I tried various options using "ProcessBuilder" and calling bat file but I need Monitor (parent application to EXIT, immediately after calling child (execute.jar)
Try1) ProcessBuilder builder = new ProcessBuilder("java -jar execute.jar");
Process process = builder.start();
Try2) Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process p = null;
p = r.exec(new String[] { "cmd", "/c", "start C:/temp/Test.bat" });

I have a requirement to transfer data from one db to another db from Java Application Layer.Maybe, maye not. We get all sorts of weird "requirements" - which are nothing but thoughts or proposed solutions.
But,
Did the "requirement" mention whether the table existed already or not in the target database? - If not, did it tell you to create it - drop/create it?
Did the "requirement" deliver some explanation to why this copying was neeeded? - Are we talking replication? - Or a one time cloning?
Etc, etc,
Personally I would always argue against a "reuirement" like that. - It just isn't the way to do it. Period.

Peter
P.S: If you are satisfied with what COPY does, then you could let Java make an OS call and do it from there?

How to execute commands from Java

hi,
i m trying to execute a CVS command from a java environment. i m writing this code to create a user. for this i m executing this cvs command "cmd /c cvs passwd -r <username> -a <new-username>"
after executing this cmd the command prompt will prompt for a pasword and then after entring the password i have to retype the password for confirmation. the existing code execcutes the command but i don t know how to read the prompt for password.
<code>
import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
public class first {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c cvs passwd -r gopalakrishnan_k -a ram");

String s;
String pswd = "mahesh";
System.out.println("Success");
int i = 0;
while ((s = OptFromCmd.readLine()) != null) {

[o/p]
this program gives the output as
adding the user <username>
password:
now i need to enter the password from java envronment and provide it in the command prompt .
then it prompts for the password again for confirmation so i have to retype the password again
how to acheive this.

String abc[]={"sh","-c","/dir1/dir2/dir3/scanVirus/uvscan --clean -- delete --exit-on-error ../*.*>abcde.txt"};
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process p = runtime.exec(abc);
when it founds any infected file the process is not terminated correctly and it gives the following error :
"java.lang.Exception: Process failed to terminate correctly"
but it deletes the infected file.
and running the program second time (after deletion of infected file), it executed fine.

Execute ConcurrentRequest from java program

In order to execute concurrent request from java program are this 3 lines enough :
1)ConcurrentRequest concurrentrequest = new ConcurrentRequest(oadbtransaction.getJdbcConnection());
2)int i = concurrentrequest.submitRequest("some value", " some value", "some value", null, false, vector);
3)oadbtransaction.commit();
*******************************8
I am asking because while executing ConcRequest from PL/SQL I have to call a functin : fnd_global.apps_initialize(user_id ,resp_id, app_id) prior to executing FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST.
Is there any equivalent in java for apps_initialize?
thanks in advance.

hi
u can call the FND_global using callable statement
DBTransaction txn = getDBTransaction();
CallableStatement cs =
txn.createCallableStatement("begin fnd_global.apps_initialize(:1, :2,:3);end;");
try
cs.setString(1, getOADBTransaction().getUserId() );
cs.setString(2, getOADBTransaction().responsibilityId());
cs.setString(3, getOADBTransaction().getApplicationID());
cs.execute();
cs.close();
catch (SQLException sqle)
try { cs.close } catch (Exception(e) {}
throw OAException.wrapperException(sqle);

Executing DLLs from Java using JNI vs Runtime.exec()

I am trying to understand the best way to execute a dll using java. The dll I am testing with takes a few input parameter. If I use JNI with System.loadLibrary("dll"); what do I need to do to pass the arguements in as well? Can I just add the arguements in the java code like private int xyz = "value"; and expect that the dll will accept them or is there special definitions I have to set up in the dll to make it work?
Alternatively I was looking at using Runtime to execute the dll by using Runtime.exec("dll param1 param2",env,filePath); Does anyone know if there are drawback to doing it this way vs. using JNI or is this just as efficient? Any help would be appreciated.

You seem to be confused...
"execute a dll using java"
Unless I'm mistaken, a dll is not executable. A dll is a library of code. This code has (hopefully) some well-defined entry points (declared in a header file somewhere) which you must call in a C/C++ file. The arguments you pass to the dll will come from java through JNI.
As far as your understanding of this entire process, it is obviously confused beyond the scope of a simple reply. I recommend you read the examples and ALL of the documentation available here:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/native1.1/index.html
When you get the/an example running (or just set up to run) then post your code and comments here for more help.

Urg:Executing SQL From Java App using Jdbc Driver

Hi
I am using JDBC Driver version 9.0.1.1.0.
I am running this in Thin Client Mode
My Code Snippet Looks Like This:=
==========================================================
String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:VpDb";
String userName = "scott";
String password = "tiger";

I have added the classes12.zip and nls_charset12.zip in the classpath.
Now when i run this it gives me an error saying the following error message:-

Can anyone help me with this as to whats going wrong because the exact equivalent of my sqlStamenet runs on SQL command line but not from java code.Why??
Any Help appreciated
Thanks

I think it is complaining about the ";" that you add at the end of your string. You don't need to add that to the query.

End-of-communication channel while executing sqlldr from java procedure

Hi all,
I am having 10g 10.1.0.3.1 ( Infrastructure ) on linux, I am executing Sql Loader
( sqlldr ) from client (XP) using java stored procedure. After loading the data I am getting Error - ( end-of-communication channel). But same java procedure is working fine without any error on 10g without (Infrastructure). Is this problem is becuase of infrastructure or some patch has to be installed on the database. For my satisfaction I reinstalled java Virtual Machine on database with the help of
( initjvm.sql ). But problem is still there. Any idea what exactly the problem is.
SKM

This is the most frequently asked question from Oracle developers.. Never mind putting some light on this error, I want to put it alight! ;-)
First thing. It is not The Error. It is a sympton of an error.
This message does not come from the database. It comes from the client OCI (of JDBC) drivers - which suddenly discovered that the Oracle connection (usually a TCP socket connection) has been torn down at the server side. It attempts to write to that socket, only to find that the other party has hung up.
Why has the other party hung up? That party is either a Dedicated Server Process or a Dispatcher Process. If a dedicated server dies (crashes), it will take its socket handles with it to The Great Recycle Bin In The Sky. If you was serviced by a shared server and it died, the Dispatcher (who handles the TCP comms for it), will automatically close that shared server's connection.
Usually when a process dies on the Oracle server, it leaves behind an error in the alert log, and trace files. That is where you will find the inklings of what The Error was that caused your client to get the EOF on comms channel message.

Bharthi

Hi Bharthi,
I have tried something. I do not know it will directly help you. There is a class called Runtime in the APi's of which there is a method exec().
You can write any command which you write on the console. This method will execute the same. What i have done is i created a simple java file Test and kept it in c:\downloads directory. My aim was to compile the same thru a program..i.e Bharthi.
Just compile the same after creating a java file and then run Bharthi. This program will compile the Test program at c:\downloads.
I hope you got the basic logic. Tell me if you could get thru.
Bye

Cannot call the execute command from java code

Hello,
I like to add a new user via a java web service.
Establishing a connection to the OC4J MBean server is no problem. I also can execute the commands 'listAllCommands' and 'help' on the MBean. But if i try to call the execute command, i always get an NoSuchMethodException. Looking at the MBeanInfos 'execute' is listed there as an operation.
Can anyone explain this to me?

Hi,
I basically used the code described at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32110_01/web.1013/b28952/mbeans.htm#CIHFDJBJ to connect to the MBeanServer.
To invoke 'execute' i used
MBeanServerConnection con= jmxCon.getMBeanServerConnection();
con.invoke(new ObjectName(MBEAN_NAME), "execute", new Object[] { COMMAND }, new String[] {});
where MBEAN_NAME is the ObjectName of the CommandService MBean and COMMAND is a String like "identity add ..."

How to create and execute PL/SQL program or Procedure from Java (JDBC)

hi all,
user will enter the Pl/Sql program from User-Interface. that program has to be create in DB and execute that.
due to some confusions, how to execute this from Java, i (user) entered the same logic through a Procedure.
my Java code is
Statement st = con.createStatement();
Statement.execute(procedure_query); // procedure name is myPro
CallableStatement cs = con.prepareCall("{call myPro}");
(as given in SUN docs - http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/basics/sql.html)
but its not creating the procedure.
and i tried to run a procedure (which is already created) with CallableStatement, and this is also not working.
how to get this.
thanks and regards
pavan

Hi,
SInce the PL/SQL block is keyed in dynamically, you probably want to use the anonymous PL/SQL syntax for invoking it:
// begin ? := func (?, ?); end; -- a result is returned to a variable
CallableStatement cstmt3 =
conn.prepareCall(“begin ? := func3(?, ?); end;”);
// begin proc(?, ?); end; -- Does not return a result
CallableStatement cstmt4 =
Conn.prepareCall(“begin proc4(?, ?); end;”);
SQLJ covered in chapter 10, 11, and 12 of my book furnish a more versatile dynamic SQl or PL/SQL mechanisms.
