  • How can I execute an external program from within a button's event handler?

    I am using Tomcat ApacheTomcat 6.0.16 with Netbeans 6.1 (with the latest JDK/J2EE)
    I need to execute external programs from an event handler for a button on a JSF page (the program is compiled, and extremely fast compared both to plain java and especially stored procedures written in SQL).
    I tried what I'd do in a standalone program (as shown in the appended code), but it didn't work. Instead I received text saying the program couldn't be found. This error message comes even if I try the Windows command "dir". I thought with 'dir' I'd at least get the contents of the current working directory. :-(
    I can probably get by with cgi on Apache's httpd server (or, I understand tomcat supports cgi, but I have yet to get that to work either), but whatever I do I need to be able to do it from within the button's event handler. And if I resort to cgi, I must be able to maintain session jumping from one server to the other and back.
    So, then, how can I do this?
    Thanks

    NB: The programs that I need to run do NOT take input from the user. Rather, my code in the web application processes user selections from selection controls, and a couple field controls, sanitizes the inoputs and places clean, safe data in a MySQL database, and then the external program I need to run gets safe data from the database, does some heavy duty number crunching, and puts the output data into the database. They are well insulated from mischeif.
    NB: In the following array_function_test.pl was placed in the same folder as the web application's jsp pages, (and I'd tried WEB-INF - with the same result), and I DID see the file in the application's war file.
            try {
                java.lang.ProcessBuilder pn = new java.lang.ProcessBuilder("array_function_test.pl");
                //pn.directory(new java.io.File("K:\\work"));
                java.lang.Process pr = pn.start();
                java.io.BufferedInputStream bis = (java.io.BufferedInputStream)pr.getInputStream();
                String tmp = new String("");
                byte b[] = new byte[1000];
                int i = 0;
                while (i != -1) {
                    bis.read(b);
                    tmp += new String(b);
                getSelectionsDisplayTextArea().setText(getSelectionsDisplayTextArea().getText() + "\n\n" + tmp);
            } catch (java.io.IOException ex) {
                getSelectionsDisplayTextArea().setText(getSelectionsDisplayTextArea().getText() + "\n\n" + ex.getMessage());

    Hi Fonsi!
    One way to execute an external program is to use the System Exec.vi. You find it in the functions pallet under Communication.

  • Execute external WebService from abap

    Hi Gurus!
    Is it possible to execute an external WebService from an abap function/program without using the XI?
    Best regards,
    Adriano

    you can do this.
    if you are on WAS6.4 there is a tool available within ABAP work bench to generate client proxy.
    if you are on WAS 6.20 then you have to use class cl_http_client to consume the webservice,

  • Pocket PC -Problem executing external program from java

    Hi,
    I'm developing an application on Dell Axim x51 PDA. I am using mysaifu jvm. The application needs to execute an external program (.exe) for which I'm using the Runtime class.
    I get java.io.IOException: The system cannot find the file specified.
    I have verified that the file exists. ( i used File class to check if the file exists)
    here's the part of code :
    Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime ();      
    File sktScan = new File("\\My Documents\\RFID\\ScktScan.exe");
    if(sktScan.exists())
    System.out.println("FILE EXISTS");
    String command = sktScan.getAbsolutePath();
    process = rt.exec (command);
    System.out.println("Socket Scan Path is : "+command);

    You have acces to "java.lang.Runtime currentRuntime.exec()" method ? in my case NetBeans IDE dont give me for my compilation with :

  • How can an add-on like Firesheep access and execute an external program like Winpcap? Is that a security flaw in Firefox?

    I have been reading about the Firesheep add-on that allows the user to hijack sessions of users on the network by stealing the cookie. I understand that to prevent any application from stealing the cookie, the cookie should not be passed by the site without SSL. However, my understanding of how Firesheep works is that it interfaces with Winpcap (a network sniffer). So my question is "How can an add-on execute an external program or operating system command like Winpcap?" Can any add-on do this and should I be extremely afraid of downloading any add-on because of the potential that it could have complete access to my system?

    Hi Scott-L.
    You asked a very good question and it turns out you're right.
    However, one must be aware that download an Addon on another website that Mozilla may be dangerous. Indeed, the Addons found on the Addon Center are checked (roughly).
    In addition, Firefox includes a blacklist that blocks addons identified as malicious.
    More information here: [http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9193420/Mozilla_No_kill_switch_for_Firesheep_add_on?taxonomyId=17&pageNumber=1]

  • JCO.Server Error while trying to execute a RFC program from SAP

    Hi,
    We are connecting to an external registered server program from SAP via Web Methods.
    The external server program is registered with the SAP Gateway. We have created a TCP/IP RFC destination and are able to connect to the destination successfully via SM59.
    An RFC function is created in SAP and is called using the syntax CALL FUNCTION "/NGN/BAPI_STRE_SEARCH_PROCESS" DESTINATION 'PRDB2B'. We have also handled the COMM_FALIURE and SYSTEM_FALIURE exceptions in the function call.
    We are monitoring the gateway via SMGW and see a connection log to the RFC destination as below
    Number - 10
    LUname - dev01
    TPName - sapgw00
    User - KRAORANE
    Status - CONNECTED
    Symbolic - PRDB2B
    Conversation - 86520353
    Prot - REG
    SAP return code - 0
    CPIC rtn code - 0
    The external program returns results as expected.
    However sometimes the RFC fails and returns the message “JCO.Server could not create server function /NGN/BAPI_STRE_SEARCH_PROCESS”.
    We are not able to figure what exactly is causing this error. Any help will be highly appreciated.

  • Error while calling java program from ABAP

    Hi Experts,
    We are trying for RFC inbound scenario.
    We followed the below blog
    /people/gregor.wolf3/blog/2004/08/26/setup-and-test-sap-java-connector-outbound-connection
    We are working with SAP JCO 3.0.2
    We are getting the error : 'STFC_CONNECTION' could not be found in the server repository.
    After I run the Java server program if I execute the RFC destination directly from SM 59 it is showing successful messages.
    If I stop the java program then this RFC is failing. Based on this we concluded that RFC to Java connection is working fine.
    But as mentioned in blog if we call the RFC Destination from ABAP program it is giving the below error,
    'STFC_CONNECTION' could not be found in the server repository.
    If we test the RFC destination using RFC_TRUSTED_CHECK standard FM we are getting the below error.
    'RFCPING' could not be found in the server repository.
    We create the RFC destination of Type : TCP/IP as exactly mention in the blog.
    Please help us in resolving this issue.
    Thanks
    Prince

    Using the RFC connection,we can establish a link between Java and SAP.

    This depends on the version of your Netweaver Java AS. If you are running 7.0, you will have to use the Jco framework. The Jco framework is deprecated since 7.1 though. If you want to build a RFC server in 7.1 or higher, it is adviced that you set it up through JRA.

  • How to call Operating System commands / external programs from within APEX

    Hi,
    Can someone please suggest how to call Operating Systems commands / external programs from within APEX?
    E.g. say I need to run a SQL script on a particular database. SQL script, database name, userid & password everything is available in a table in Oracle. I want to build a utility in APEX where by when I click a button APEX should run the following
    c:\oracle\bin\sqlplusw.exe userud/password@database @script_name.sql
    Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi Guys,
    I have reviewed the option of using scheduler and javascript and they do satisfy my requirements PARTIALLY. Any calls to operating system commands through these features will be made on the server where APEX is installed.
    However, here what I am looking at is to call operating systems programs on client machine. For example in my APEX application I have constructed the following strings of commands that needs to be run to execute a change request.
    sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script1.sql
    sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script2.sql
    sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script3.sql
    sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script4.sql
    What I want is to have a button/link on the APEX screen along with these lines so that when I click that link/button this entire line of command gets executed in the same way it would get executed if I copy and paste this command in the command window of windows.
    Believe me, if I am able to achieve what I intend to do, it is going to save a lot of our DBAs time and effort.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,
