Executing batch File from Jsp

I want to execute a batch file which is located at d:\build from a jsp
I also want to give parameters to batch file.
Actually my batch file is demo.bat and i want to execute this command via jsp
demo Compile dev

in a word - don't. that's not what jsps are for.
you sound confused about where jsps actually run. get client and server straight in your head and then think about it again.

How to execute batch file from JSP

hi frens !
i wanna know how to execute batch file from my JSP.i am using exec() method to get call the batch file. but its not working ....plz help
here mine code:-
File F = new File("C:/var.bat");
     try{
      if (F.exists())

       System.out.println(IOEx);
}Thanks and Regards
Allwyn

You might improve your chances of getting help if you do two things:
1) Explain what "not working" means.
2) ChangeSystem.out.println(IOEx); to IOEx.printStackTrace(); (in the eventhat is in fact related to "not working").

Executing batch file from Java stored procedure hang

Dears,
I'm using the following code to execute batch file from Java Stored procedure, which is working fine from Java IDE JDeveloper 10.1.3.4.
public static String runFile(String drive)
String result = "";
String content = "echo off\n" + "vol " + drive + ": | find /i \"Serial Number is\"";
try {
File directory = new File(drive + ":");
File file = File.createTempFile("bb1", ".bat", directory);
file.deleteOnExit();
FileWriter fw = new java.io.FileWriter(file);
fw.write(content);
fw.close();
// The next line is the command causing the problem
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /c " + file.getPath());
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String line;
while ((line = input.readLine()) != null)
result += line;
input.close();
file.delete();
result = result.substring( result.lastIndexOf( ' ' )).trim();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
result = e.getClass().getName() + " : " + e.getMessage();
return result;
The above code is used in getting the volume of a drive on windows, something like "80EC-C230"
I gave the SYSTEM schema the required privilege to execute the code.
EXEC DBMS_JAVA.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'java.io.FilePermission', '<<ALL FILES>>', 'read ,write, execute, delete');
EXEC DBMS_JAVA.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'writeFileDescriptor', '');
EXEC DBMS_JAVA.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'readFileDescriptor', '');
GRANT JAVAUSERPRIV TO SYSTEM;
I have used the following to load the class in Oracle 9ir2 DB:
loadjava -u [system/******@orcl|mailto:system/******@orcl] -v -resolve C:\Server\src\net\dev\Util.java
CREATE FUNCTION A1(drive IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 AS LANGUAGE JAVA NAME 'net.dev.Util.a1(java.lang.String) return java.lang.String';
variable serial1 varchar2(1000);
call A1( 'C' ) into :serial1;
The problem that it hangs when I execute the call to the function (I have indicated the line causing the problem in a comment in the code).
I have seen similar problems on other forums, but no solution posted
[http://oracle.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/oracle-jdeveloper-l/run-an-exe-file-using-oracle-database-trigger-1567662]
I have posted this in JDeveloper forum ([t-853821]) but suggested to post for forum in DB.
Can anyne help?

Dear Peter,
You are totally right, I got this as mistake copy paste. I'm just having a Java utility for running external files outside Oracle DB, this is the method runFile()
I'm passing it the content of script and names of file to be created on the fly and executed then deleted, sorry for the mistake in creating caller function.
The main point, how I claim that the line in code where creating external process is the problem. I have tried the code with commenting this line and it was working ok, I made this to make sure of the permission required that I need to give to the schema passing security permission problems.
The function script is running perfect if I'm executing vbs script outside Oracle using something like "cscript //NoLogo aaa1.vbs", but when I use the command line the call just never returns to me "cmd.exe /c bb1.bat".
where content of bb1.bat as follows:
echo off
vol C: | find /i "Serial Number is"
The above batch file just get the serial number of hard drive assigned when windows formatted HD.
Same code runs outside Oracle just fine, but inside Oracle doesn't return if I exectued the following:
variable serial1 varchar2(1000);
call A1( 'C' ) into :serial1;
Never returns
Thanks for tracing teh issue to that details ;) hope you coul help.

Then can u suggest any other way how i can invoke a batch file from html/jsp.I think what some of the previous posters wanted to make clear is that jsps are not the place to go calling batch files. Jsp's are normally the view part and don't actually trigger these type of actions directly. Call a servlet to do non-view things...
If all you want to do is execute an ant file, look for examples for running ant through java api. f.i. here

Executing batch files from websevice using ODI OS Command

Hi,
Is it possible to execute the batch files using odi os command from webservices.
We have developed a webservice, which passess some parameters to one batch file and after that we executing the same batch file in package using odi os command. In opeartor is showing as running, it never ends.
But if we run the same package from designer, it is executing successfully. Also the same web service is working fine for executing non batch scenarios.
what could be the problem??
We got one possible reason for failure...
For executing the batch from web services, we need read and executable permissions on the drive where batch sits.
We are logging into ODI using SUPERVISOR. How to give the permissions to SUPERVISOR as we are having windows authentication.
Edited by: Naveen Suram on Dec 17, 2009 8:07 PM
As a work around, can we use ODIOSCommand instead of OS Command. But it is asking for starting event? Whether both the commands does the same functionality??

From the FAQ:
2. How do you launch an external program on a Microsoft Windows platform from a program developed on the Java [tm] programming language?
The following will launch notepad in Microsoft Windows NT:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c notepad.exe");
To launch a program in Microsoft Windows 95/98 use:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("c:\\windows\\notepad.exe");
The Runtime class allows interaction between a program and its environment. The first string command instructs the command line interpretor, cmd to open up the calculator application.
The exec() methods do not use a shell; any arguments must have the full pathname to the shell as well as the command itself.
For example, to run a shell on the UNIX� platform, type:
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process p = rt.exec("/usr/bin/sh -c date");
To run a batch file under Microsoft Windows 95/98:
Process p = rt.exec("command.com /c c:\\mydir\\myfile.bat");
To run a batch file under Microsoft Windows NT:
Process p = rt.exec("cmd /c c:\\mydir\\myfile.bat");
where 'cmd' and 'command.com' are the command-line interpreters for Microsoft Windows machines.
The Runtime.exec() methods might not work effectively for some processes on certain platforms. Special care should be taken with native windowing, daemon, WIN16/DOS process or some shell scripts.

Batch file and JSP

how can i call a batch file from JSP ??? possible ?

'tis possible, but not recommended.
You can use java.lang.Runtime.exec() method
Read all about it here: http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html
Note that this will run a batch file on the server - not on the client machine.

Let me guess, you want your web application to run a program on the client and to your surprise that's not working?
Ain't gonna happen.
its taking more time to execute .... that's y is there any other option to execute .exe file other than Runtime.getRuntime().exec("filename");Write proper English and you may be taken more seriously.
1) it's not "taking more time to execute", whatever that's supposed to mean.
2) there's no other way to execute something. Not that you should every use even that way anyway
3) whenever you start thinking of executing external programs from Java, start thinking of not using Java in the first place.

How can I execute a batch file from my java program

Hi,
Can someone help me or direct me to a link,
How can I execute a DOS batch file from my java program?
Thanks

You will need to grab a handle to the process's
outputstream so u can see its output.The OP didn't mention any output from any batch file;
nor any input for that
matter,so lets not complicate matters here for now
ok?Actually I think this is essential to see whether it works or not. It's either that or do some manual check to see whether it ran, which is not exactly elegant, and in some cases this may not be easier than simply writing the output stream code, or in fact it may be impossible to check manually.
I'm sure it wasn't intentional that your post appeared to be bristling with attitude.

URGENT:- Running a batch file from java program

Author: pkanury
I am trying to execute a batch file from my java program using RunTime and Process . It can execute any dos command except for a batch file. Can anyone throw
some light ?? My code looks like this .....
cmd = "command.com /c X:\\grits\\scripts\\test.bat"; Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime(); Process p = rt.exec(cmd);
The weird part is that p.waitFor() returns a status of 0 implying that the cmd has been executed successfully. But that is not the case. And my batch file is as simple as - type "ADADA" > junk.txt
Any help would be appreciated.

I think it should work when you use a String[] array
instead of a single String:
String[] cmd = { "command.com", "/C", "D:\\batch\\do.bat" };
Note: If the batchfile creates any output (i.e. files),
they will be stored in the directory of the application
which calls the batch file, not in d:\batch\...

@echo off
if x==%1x goto howto

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start C:/Downloads/Marcxml/marcxml.bat");
so ,that invokes the batch file.Till that point its ok.

%3 is the name of the output file for ex: C:/Downloads/Marcxml/target.mrc

I get the following error :
Exception in thread main java.lang.Noclassdef foundError: c:Downloads\marcxml\source/xml

1 - create a java class (Executer.java) for example:
import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
public class Executer {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          try {
               for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
                    System.out.println(args);
               Class<?> c = Class.forName(args[0]);
               Class[] argTypes = new Class[] { String[].class };
               Method main = c.getDeclaredMethod("main", argTypes);
               // String[] mainArgs = Arrays.copyOfRange(args, 1, args.length); //JDK 6
               //jdk <6
               String[] mainArgs = new String[args.length - 1];
               for (int i = 0; i < mainArgs.length; i++) {
                    mainArgs[i] = args[i + 1];
               main.invoke(null, (Object) mainArgs);
               // production code should handle these exceptions more gracefully
          } catch (ClassNotFoundException x) {
               x.printStackTrace();
          } catch (NoSuchMethodException x) {
               x.printStackTrace();
          } catch (IllegalAccessException x) {
               x.printStackTrace();
          } catch (InvocationTargetException x) {
               x.printStackTrace();
          } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
2 - create a .bat file:
@echo off
java -cp C:\Downloads\Marcxml\marc4j.jar; C:\Downloads\Marcxml\marcxml.jar; Executer %TARGET_CLASS% %IN_FILE% %OUT_FILE%3 - use set command to pass variable:
Open MS-DOS, and type the following:
set TARGET_CLASS=MyTargetClass
set IN_FILE=in.txt
set OUT_FILE=out.txt
Then run your .bat file (in the same ms dos window)

Error executing batch file within web application

Hi all,
I am trying to execute a batch file from within my web application (struts 1.2).
The batch file is being kept inside the 'src' folder. The batch file contains only one command to open NOTEPAD.
The code inside my Action class is:
URL url = getClass().getResource("/test.bat");
java.io.File file = new java.io.File(url.getPath()) ;
String path = file.getCanonicalPath();
r.exec(path);
I have deployed this on tomcat and get an error like this:
java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:\Program%20Files\Apache%20Software%20Foundation\Tomcat%206.0\webapps\CIGTAFAPP\WEB-INF\classes\test.bat": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified
The problem is not with the batch file because when I try to execute the file directly from the classes folder, it opens up the notepad editor.
I have a specific requirement where I need to create/read this batch file from within the project structure.
Can someone please help me with this?
Regards

The entire content of the file is as below:

Run a batch file from demantra workflow

I am trying to run a batch file from demantra's workflow by creating an executable step.
I am getting the following error.
Error description ’’Invalid command line:’’"D:\Oracle Demantra Spectrum\Collaborator\demantra\sop\populate_staging.bat"
I am giving the following value in command line of executable step.
"#application_root#\sop\populate_staging.bat"
The batch file exists in the appropriate folder.
Following code is in the batch file.
sqlldr userid=msdem/msdem@demsbx control=load_item_hier.ctl
Please help me.
Thanks

This should work for you-
Create a batch file on your current server (ODI) and write in the path to the other batch file on the other server.
//Server2completename/D$/Path/yourbatchfile.bat
From ODI call your batch file that you created on the same machine.. which will inturn call the other batch file on a different machine to execute batch client.
Also can you paste the errors that you may be getting.. need to check if you are getting any specific issue related to this.
Thanks
