Executing a jsp file from a local mahine

Hi,
I am totally new to jsp and javascript. I was wondering if you could tell me whether it's possible to execute a jsp file residing on a webserver from a normal java application on a local machine?
I want to write a script that will reside in the root directory of my webserver, which when executed will write the directory structure to a text file, the java application then reads the file. Would this be possible?
How would i go about executing the file on the webserver? i.e. what command would i use?
Many thanks
Please see a previous thread for more background info: -
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=31&thread=230736

Since no one replied I actually used my brain and found it is possible to 'execute' the jsp file by using a URL and an inputstreamreader: -
               URL myUrl=new URL( webFile );
               InputStreamReader in = new InputStreamReader(myUrl.openStream());
               BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(in);
               while ((inputLine = reader.readLine()) != null)
               encryStr = encryStr + inputLine;
               in.close();
               return encryStr;
This will return the info i wanted from the jsp file - which was a neater way then writing to a text file.

  • How to execute a  .sql file from a batch file

    Hi all
    I've to take backup of a database weekly twice on every wednesday & Friday @ 5pm IST. I've written a hot backup script, which works every well.
    now i want to automate the script. ie i want this script to run on wednesday & friday @ 5pm without any human interfearance ie with out actually any1 executing this script.
    i created a batch file prod.bak with the following lines
    @echo off
    set oracle_sid=testdb
    set oracle_home=d:\oracle\ora92
    sqlplus /nolog
    connect sys as sysdba/oracletest@testdb
    this batch file when eexecuted connects me to sql prompt.
    Now i want to execute my backup script bkp.sql automatically when it is connected to sql prompt.
    (i tried with these lines in the above batch file...
    call bkp.sql---it just opens the bkp.sql file in notepad & displays the script
    start bkp.sql---same as call
    connect / as sysdba/pwd@[email protected] --- does not work simply remains a the sql prompt.
    At 17:00 /Every:w,f "d:\bkp.sql"---does not work simply remains at the sql promt.)
    Can any1 let me know what should i write in the batch file that will execute the bkp.sql file automatically after it gets connected to sql prompt. M using oracle 9i.
    I'll manage he time through windows utility of scheduling task.. Let me know how to execute the .sql file from a batch file.
    Thanks
    Tripti

    Try
    sqlplus "sys/oracletest as sysdba" @bpk.sql
    Working locally, and having set the ORACLE_SID, you don't need to specify the SqlNet alias (@testdb).
    Remember to put an exit at the end of the bpk.sql script.

  • Execute a .cmd file from Java program on tomcat which is running as service

    I have a .cmd/,.bat file which has to be executed depending on the parameters I pass through JSP page hosted on a tomcat instance.
    Tomcat is running as a windows service.
    I need my .cmd file to be opened in a cmd or DOS box so that user can interact with the dos window, which is mandatory.
    When I run the program from eclipse it works well but on the tomcat , the server side the output of the command is written to my log file and it gives no chance for users to monitor and interact with the command.
    Should I do something with log4j settings or is due to tomcat running as service?
    Please help.
    thanks

    thanks for the responses.
    But the design is like that.Then it needs to be fixed.
    I think this is why there's a shortage of people to write computer applications, they are all wasting their time struggling to implement bad designs.
    its a scheduler to be run on tomcat where we interact
    with the running batch files and can't be changed.A scheduler in Tomcat? Why run a scheduler in an application server?
    any help is appreciated.
    I tried to execute the batch file from servlet it
    runs , but i see the cmd.exe in windows task manager
    and need a dos box open.
    Any ideas?If you need a DOS box open then you need a signed-on user. So here's my patch:
    1. Write an application that listens for messages from this Tomcat scheduler, and when it receives those messages it does something in a DOS box.
    2. Have somebody sign on to the server and run that application.
    3. Change the Tomcat scheduler to send messages to that application instead of trying to actually run it.
    It's up to you what kind of messages you should send. There are plenty of choices.

  • How to execute a jsp instruction from a java class?

    How to execute a jsp instruction from a java class?
    Any help please.
    Thank's

    I'll detail my problem:
    Supposing that I have a jsp file called: start.jsp
    In the start.jsp I instanciated an object called global from the class Global ( for example ).
    Then, I called a custom taglib:
    <ix:mytag/>
    In the suitable tld file: the mytag is defined:
    <tag>
    <tag class>Tag1<.....
    The java file Tag1 has method:
    doStartTag(){
    // here is the problem
    global.doSomeFunctions();
    Okay, the problem is that the object gobal is not defined in the class Tag1. what to do?
    I think that I have to pass the object global as a parameter to the class Tag1. How to do that?
    Actually, the problem was to insert the follwoing in the doStartTag method:
    doStartTag(){
    pageContext.getOut().print("<%= hello world %>");
    The output is <%= hello world %> not hello world.
    Okay, the new problem is how to pass an object as a parameter to a class called from a tld file.
    Any help please.
    Thank's too much

  • Copying file from a local computer into mapped LAN share.

    I tried to copy a file from a local computer into a Z: disc (a LAN share). I tried to use every method i found on the internet. Using io, nio.. nothing works. It works well on the local computer, but not through LAN. It says that there is not enough of system resources to go on (i'm talking about big files.. more than 200mb... small files are accepted).

    Hi,
    Flash itself has no filewriting capabilities other then the
    SharedObject
    stuff.
    But why can't you call a php script? You could install
    apache, PHP and
    MYSQL on the computer running the Flash app and get it all
    into the
    database in one go.
    Otherwise you either need to get going with AIR (Adobe
    Integrated
    Runtime), or use a wrapper application like Adobe Director
    (which has
    tons of ways to write to file through it's plethora of
    Xtras.) Director
    may be 'a bit' hard on your budget if you only use it for
    this purpose
    though.
    The XMLSocket is for connections to some server, local or
    remote, not to
    a file.

  • Displaying files from a local filesystem not in Webserver Root

    I have been attempting to display a file from a local filesystem with no luck. Is there any way, with something like UTL_FILE, to read in a file (A pre-generated report from Funnel Web) and display it through a custom portlet? I have created a provider/portlet to use, however, I cannot seem to find the right combination of PL/SQL to accomplish this task. I am by no means a PL/SQL guru. Any suggestions would be welcome.

    You can use URL component in the applications tab,for this purpose.

  • Running a JSP file from the IDE causes error

  • Executing a .bat file from java code

    Im writing a utility and i need to be able to create and execute a .bat file from my program. I can create the .bat file fine but when i try to execute it nothing happens. I tried to use the following line of code to try to execute the .bat file (called make.bat) :
    try
    String parameterString = "\"C:\\WINNT\\System32\\cmd.exe\" C:\\ITS_Test\\make.bat";
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(parameterString);
    catch (Exception e)
    System.out.println(e);
    The Runtime.getRuntime()exec() method worked fine when trying to execute an excel file but for some reason it dosen't want to work for the DOS prompt. Any ideas?

    Thanks everyone for all the replies.
    I have tried all the above with no luck. Im using netbeans, does anyone think that it could be a problem with the IDE.
    I tired the following code :
    String parameterString = "cmd.exe /C \"C:\\ITS_Test\\make.bat\"";
    Process pr = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(parameterString);
    pr.waitFor();
    This code does not throw any exceptions but just hangs. I also tried:
    String [] parameterString = {"cmd", "/c", "C:\\ITS_Test\\make.bat"};
    Process pr = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(parameterString);
    pr.waitFor();
    and:
    String parameterString = "\"C:\\WINNT\\System32\\cmd.exe\" \"C:\\ITS_Test\\make.bat\"";
    Process pr = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(parameterString);
    pr.waitFor();
    with the same result. Does anyone know why it just hangs and nothing happens (no exceptions thrown)?

  • I cannot view PDF in Firefox at the first time but once I manually open the PDF file from my local computer, I can view other PDF files via Firefox webbrowser

    I install Adobe Acrobat 9 in my laptop which runs on windows 7. I use Firefox 3.6.8 and have the problem with the PDF file. The problem is I cannot open the PDF file in Firefox web browser at the first time I launch firefox. It shows a warning box without any message. Only OK button is shown so I can close it. However, if I manage to open the PDF file from my local computer by just using adobe acrobat itself then the PDF can be opened in the Firefox web browser. I followed the instruction on the mozilla help but nothing works for me. The problem still exists. I wonder if anyone have the same problem like me and know how to solve this. Thank you so much

    Hi there!
    I cannot help you, but I think we have a common problem: We got a system here running Vista SP1 with Acrobat 9 standard on it. When we open a pdf file it works normally, but when we open another pdf file, we see the first one in that second window.
    Think that missing option to watch several files within a single window-thing messed up more than meets the eye ... but as we just purchased the 15 licenses, we have to use version 9.
    I didn't find any clues on this problem, but I will post any new hints I get.

  • Upload and save an Excel file from a local machine to SAP

    I am looking for a transaction which allows me to upload an Excel file from a local machine to SAP and save this file (the users should be able to edit the file in SAP afterwards).
    Then I would like to open and read the data from the file with the help of a function module which works as a background job.
    Unfortunately, I cannot use the application server because our users do not have the authorization to save files on it. Besides, the application server is not able to process Excel files.
    Thank you in advance.

  • How can I execute a  .bat  file from inside a java application

    I have a .bat file which contains an executable file(.exe) and some input and output file names. What commands can I use to execute this bat file from my java application.

    After raeding tkleisas' reply; i am trying to invoke another application (which can be invoked from the command line) by using a batch file and trying Runtime.exec for executing a batch file.
    My current code is:
    Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
    Process trialProcess;
    trialProcess = runtime.exec("cmd.exe /C start C:\\guns.bat /B");
    And my guns.bat looks like:
    cd C:\CALPUFF
    echo trial
    start calpuff.exe CALPUFF.INP
    This is not working for me and i get the following in the error stream of the trialProcess:
    Error :
    The system cannot execute the specified program.
    Process finished with exit code 1
    Has anyone come across something like this and know what's wrong with this one??

  • Redirect to their corresponding index.jsp files from multiple sub folders

    Hi,
    I have a doc root in the location /opt/htdocs/defaultapp, where defaultapp is the application with war file(with jsps and java code) in weblogic.
    There are multiple sub folders in docroot like /opt/htdocs/defaultapp/ra, /opt/htdocs/defaultapp/info, ...etc.
    ra, info has index.jsp files from weblogic but not in docroot. So, If there are 12 sub folders like this, how can I use a single <If> condition to do that.
    I can also do in this way
    NameTrans fn="restart" from="/ra/" uri="/ra/index.jsp"
    NameTrans fn="restart" from="/info/" uri="/info/index.jsp"
    If I don't define in the above manner, the browser is giving me the directory listing.
    again I have subfolders under /ra, /info but without jsps, so when a user tries to open these folders it should return him an error page
    finally, if the user requests
    http://192.168.1.1:10000/<any-sub-folder>/ it should open http://192.168.1.1:10000/<any-sub-folder>/index.jsp
    if the user requests http://192.168.1.1:10000/<any-sub-folder>/<any-sub-folder2> it should redirect to error page
    Thanks,

    If /opt/htdocs/defaultapp is a Java web application being served by WebLogic then you shouldn't be configuring Sun Web Server to do the welcome file processing for directories. Instead, you should look at the welcome file configuration in WebLogic and in your web application.
