Executing a Perl Script from within a Servlet

I'm trying to call a script from within a servlet.This is the code i'm using:
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"sh","-c",script,nick,pass});
InputStream input = process.getInputStream();
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
int i;
while ((i=input.read())!=-1) {
baos.write(i);
System.out.println(baos.toString());
I can`t make it work.This is the output i'm getting.

Executing a perl script from within java application

Hi,
Does anyone knows a way to execute a perl script from within java.
---kirk

Runtime.exec("perl myscript.pl");
Of course whether that "works" depends on what the script does and where the java program runs.

How to execute a Perl program from within a Java prog

How do I execute a Perl program from within a Java program.
Lets say the Perl program that I want to execute is 'abc'. Now, 'abc' requires some input that I want to give it from within the Java program. How do I do it?
And finally, how do I execute that Perl program from within the Java program.
If I execute the Perl program alone then I do it in the following way -
perl abc inp1 inp2 inp3
where inp1, inp2, inp3 are inputs to the Perl program. I will not be able to change or modify the coding of the Perl program - 'abc' as I do not have access to its code. Its a kind of an application whose usual method of execution is in the above shown way. So, how do I execute 'abc' from within a Java program.

Shell or perl script from OS command_Sender File Channel

Hi All,
I am trying to execute a perl script from the File Sender Channel(NFS), OS command Before Message Processing. The script works fine if i run it from the shell. But when PI calls the script, the script does not get executed. The audit logs mention that the OS command has been called.
I tried using:
1) /<fullpath>perlScript.pl /<fullpath>filename.dat
2) perl /<fullpath>perlScript.pl /<fullpath>filename.dat
Both these commands work fine when i execute them on the shell.
I am on solaris and PI 7.0. The permission for the perl script and input files are all 777.
FYI.. i am using this perl script to transpose a complex file and make it # delimited file.
I have already read the blogs for OS command and executed some sample scenarios successfully.
I tried to call a shell script that does the same functionality as the perl script. Even that does not work.
Also, wrote a shell script to call the perl script inside it. No luck.
eg:
touch /fullpath>/create_before.dat
perl /<fullpath>perlScript.pl /<fullpath>filename.dat
touch /<fullpath>/create_after.dat
In this case, the create_before.dat and create_after.dat is getting created but the perl is not called. I know this because i cant see the output files of the perl script.

Balaji

Hi,
The problem is fixed. The shell or perl both have logic to transpose a non industry starndard file to the delimited file which PI can use an FCC to pick up.
This was the fix:
we need to mention the shell the script is going to be run in.
In the shell script we mentioned --> *#!/usr/bin/bash* as the first line
normally, when we use the command -- which bash on the unix command prompt, it tells us the path for the bash used.
another option --> #!/usr/bin/ksh
again, on the command prompt -- which ksh command will tell us what ksh is being used.
If the script is a simple one that does copy or move commands, i believe we need not use the commands above. But is a good practice to have them in the script.

Balaji

Execute perl script from CPO

Hi everyone,
Is it possible to execute a perl script directly from CPO without using a cgi or soap action, If yes, is there any documentation or model workflows that I can refer to...

Its a prewritten script hosted in a linux box(svc cat server), first we tried to invoke it as a soap request...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema">
">
#username#
this worked but we want to discontinue this approach,
so we tried to host the script as cgi and invoke the cgi directly...
but this is not working, so wanted to see if we can execute the script from CPO either directly by using CLI or by hosting the script in a server

Execute Perl Script from Forms

Ji all, is there a way to execute a Perl Script out of Forms beside WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ?

Depends on where the script should be executed. If its on the application-server and you can wrap it into a shell-script, then you can also use HOST.

Urgent Problem in Executing perl script from shell script

Hello,
I've a shell script on one server (source) and a perl script on another (target).
My perl script will check whether the directoryname, filename provided by shell script exists on the target server or not.
My shell script is as follows:
#! bin/bash
cmd=`ssh user@target "perl /home/user/test_dir/validate_file.pl"`
echo $cmd
And my perl script uses a package CU_Functions.pm, which is in the same directory as the perl script on the target server.
But when I invoke the perl script from shell script, I get the following error:
Source:user> (db:ias10g12_mid_db) /home/user/perl
$ sh /home/user/arcs/arcs_conn.sh
user@target's password:
Can't locate CU_Functions.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /local/perl-5.6.1/lib/5.6.1/i686-linux /local/perl-5.6.1/lib/5.6.1 /local/perl-5.6.1/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/i686-linux /local/perl-5.6.1/lib/site_perl/5.6.1 /local/perl-5.6.1/lib/site_perl .) at /home/user/test_dir/validate_file.pl line 13.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/user/test_dir/validate_file.pl line 13.
Please let me know if I need to do any configurations prior to call the perl script.

As for the Perl INC, I cannot recall the environment variable that sets that but the following example should work:
ssh user@host "export ENV_VAR=/path/to/include/files:$ENV_VAR ; /full/path/to/script"

This seems like a very strange thing to want to do.
What is the perl script doing?
Do other programs (not some shell script) access this server-side perl script from a different machine?
If so how do they do it?
What currently triggers the perl script to execute?
What currently handles the output from the perl script?
If you can answer these questions (and understand the answers) you should be able to come up with a different approach to this.
You do not really want to call a remote perl script from a Java program, you want to achieve the effect you think that would have if you could do it.
So find the answers to the above questions, write them on 3" x 5" cards and lay them out on your desk.
What flow of control needs to happen? Which piece of code needs to produce or consume which piece of data?
If that fails, ask you self or who ever is making you do this what are the use-cases?
If you do not know what use-cases are or do not understand them well enough try reading
Use Case Modeling (The Addison-Wesley Object Technology Series) by Kurt Bittner and Ian Spence (Paperback - Aug 30, 2002)

It is a short and easy to read book on the subject and also one of the best.
You MUST understand WHAT you are trying to achieve before you can decide HOW you are going to achieve it.

Calling PERL script from scheduler

Hello All,
I am trying to call PERL script from dbms_scheduler which makes the database connection using DBD module to read some values to perform the operation. My scheduler job kept failing with the following error:
ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: No such file or directory
STANDARD_ERROR="install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so' for module DBD::Oracle: libclntsh.so.10.1: cannot open shared object file
It can't open libclntsh.so.10.1 file when I run the job, I guess because in job session, it creates a new shell and doesn't inherit the .profile and none of the environmental variables get set. When I run the PERL script manually it works because of all the env variables, so I put all those variables from my .profile into PERL script itself using ENV function but it still doesn't work, failed with very same error. And yes I do set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to $ORACLE_HOME/lib directory. Moreover, if I run the PERL script manually from a shell where I dont inherit .profile, it fails with very same error, so it is related to the environment issues but I have no idea how to fix it. I read somewhere the setting those env variable in PERL script itself doesn't help because by the time PERL get executed all the compilers are already initialized and and they don't use those environement variables anymore then. So the question is how to make it work?
I would really appreciate if someone can help me fixing this, it's gonna change my life here :)
DB Version: 10.2.0.2 (also tested on 11R2, same problem)
OS: SUSE Linux 64 bit
And here is my libclntsh file in $ORACLE_HOME/lib

Call a Perl Script from JSP

Hi guys,

Basically, i need to call a function in perl script from JSP in order to encrypt my information.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I haven't done this myself, but it seems like it is possible in Tomcat.
You can configure Tomcat to handle .cgi calls (it does this via a CGI servlet)
http://www.ftponline.com/javapro/2003_03/online/perl_teden_03_18_03/
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/cgi-howto.html
Once this is set up, theoretically you should be able to then use requestdispatcher and forward/include a cgi script to invoke the perl.
I don't know if you are using Tomcat or not though... :-)

Instantiate a bean from within a Servlet

I am attempting to instantiate a bean from within a Servlet. Basically, I would like to set my bean properties from within a central controlling servlet, then call a worker class to take care of my database insert. The worker class would get its values from the bean.
Does this sound reasonable? I'm sure this is quite possible and very easy to pull off, however I can't seem to find a single example. An example would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I have read what you have done.
Now in the servlet add something like
HttpSession ses=request.getSession(true);</stro
ses.addAttribute("user","your Bean name");*
in the JSP get this atribute by
session.getAttribute("user");+
Anyway, how have you configured your server? I am using a Bean Class and trying to instantiate in a sevlet. An exception is occuring.
import mypack.User; //it is nicely imported*
//in the doPOST() method
User user=new User();+ //trying to instantiate
it is giving an Exception. Kindly help.
