Getting hostname within a java app

Folks,
How can I get the host name or ip address within a java app. System.getProperty() does not help here.
Saif

I guess you need to add getHostName() at the end as well??

Possible to create a JAR file from within a java app?

Is it possible to create a jar file from within a java application?
Can it be done more elegantly than by spawning-off another
process with the Runtime and exec() portions of the api?
Thanks
Scott

Thanks! I was mislead by the API notes for java.util.jar:
The JarOutputStream class is used to write the contents
of a JAR file to any output stream.
I was looking for a class or method to make jar files.
Seems this is it ;)
Thanks

How to get RTP protocol to Java app?

Hi,
I need to work with RTP streams, but I've got problem that I cannot use rtp protocol - if I want to create a new url, MalformedURLexception is raised, here is sample code:
java.net.URL url;
try{
     url = new java.net.URL("rtp://www.someweb.cz:8080");
catch(Exception e){
     System.out.println("Cannot create url - "+e);
}http and ftp work fine. Can someone explain me what is wrong? JMF is installed on my system...

MalformedURLexception is raised/*Because your URL is not of proper format*/
//New mlr should be
("rtp://www.someweb.cz:8080//video//1")                    ///Becuse it's windoz //
!("rtp://www.someweb.cz:8080)
hmm, damn,
i hope it works.

Getting hostname from inside Java code...

What is the easiest method to determine the hostname of the machine my appication is running on? Any code bits would be helpful.

Couldn't you use something like:
String host = getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(getClass() + ".class").getHost();
With applets you can just call getCodeBase() and do stuff with that, but I think the above might work regardless of whether the object is an applet or not.

Creating xml within java app

Hi,
I have reached a situation where I have to create small pieces of xml (around 8k characters) within my java app. Right now I am using stringbuffer to create the xml which does not go against a dtd. This is working for now, since I do not have to read in the xml again.
But if I wanted to use some other xml utility like xerces or jdom, is it recommended for my use of xml or would it be an overkill. Please let me know.
Thanks.
tP

I am in a similar situation. See my earlier post today . However I am yet to start the design. Can you please pass me your email and we can be in touch? My email is [email protected]
Thanks

Shell comands from a Java app

Hi
How can I run a shell command from within an Java app? For example I have a old executable sendEmail.exe on the file system and I am developing a Java GUI that should execute sendMail.exe when a user does something.
Thanks

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("start//your file path");

Deploying Java apps: Jars within a jar

Dear Java gurus,
Imagine I have a Java application. I wish to bundle it all within a jar file. The problem is, I also wish to add some dependencies, in the shape of a couple of other jars. This means that the user could run the app using the straight-forward "java -jar myapp.jar" command.
So, I jar it all up. This Jar contains a MANIFEST.MF that specifies the main class, and also the classpath. ("Class-Path: lib/other.jar") as the extra jars were in a dir called lib within the jar.
But, this doesn't work run as java complains about not being able to resolve classes that exist within other.jar.
I have yet to find anything on the net beyond really basic examples of using jar. Anyone had more experience with it and can share some tips?

Its a horrible thing. Basically, you can't include jars in jars. I asked this question on the Java.sun.com forums a while ago if you want to search there. Its a common question and pisses people off.
You have some other options:
1: extract all dependency jars and include the classes in a single jar file.
2: distribute multiple jars and set the Class-Path in the Manifest to point to them. Since you're pointing at lib/other.jar, you gotta use:
myjar.jar
lib/other.jar
You won't find another way around this. I recall somebody suggesting that packaging jars with jars should be available in mustang, but as of yet, it is not so.
Also, I would strongly recommend starting to use Java Webstart /JNLP for distributing java apps. I've never done it, but it takes all this hassle out for you by automatically maintaining dependencies. I'm intending to try to get Ensmer going using JNLP sometime.

Whether java component (Not ejb, not servlet) can be deployed in App Server and get the services provided by App Server

As I mentioned in subject, I am just wondering Whether the java component (Not
ejb, not servlet) can be deployed in App Server and get the services provided
by App Server or not?

Nevermind folks - I got it to work. All my configuration was correct; I had other issues with the ejb-jar file that the verifier informed me of (my previous deployments were with the verifier turned-off).

Need help getting this Java app to work on Mac OS X

Aloha all,
I am testing this new Java app that was built that is based on th Axis and Allies strategy gaming engine. On the PC the author wrote a .bat file to launch the app and the JVM. But when I try and enter the arguments on the Mac OS X via the terminal window I get the Usage/Options argument options back. The ,bat file goes as follows:
java -Xincgc -classpath ../classes;../lib/crimson.jar;../lib/jaxp.jar games.strategy.engine.framework.GameRunner
It looks to me as if OS X if having problems with -Xincgc argument. I checked to see if I needed to download the JVM, but according to Apple it is already built in. Is there another way to enter the arguments to get this app to launch?
Maui Duck

Does OS X use ';' as a separator like windows, or does it use ':' like UNIX. that might be the problem.

How I can get current path during a java app running?

I want to know the running path of the java app is running.
do me a favor

Syestm.getProperty(String Key)
The requires key somethig like "path", or "user.path", not sure. See Javadoc to find the key you need.

Make java app. NOT use ".bat","sh","exe"-jar get params from manifest!!

Right now a jar file's manifest can have a "main-class" which makes the jar truly executable - you can double-click it. The problem is, if you need environment variables, there is no way to pass them in to your main-class' "args."
So why don't we make it so when the jar's manifest is read, that in addition to "main-class" you can have "main-args"?
That would mean everyone would no longer need to bundle java apps with ".exe" or ".bat" or ".sh" files!!! We could have truly Java applications, that are executables!!!
Just package them in a jar, have a main class and the args for it!!
what does everyone think?

Unfortunatly, it won't happen.....
Sun has been pushing property files ever since they disabled getEnv. You are probably better off designing some sort of Runtime.exec("echo $VARIABLE") or such to catch the environment variables during init. Or you could just start using property files like sun would want.

What path to use to access network files from Java app running on Mac

I have a Java app running on a Mac with OS X that I'm using to check for files that exists on Windows servers within our network.
Using a path like /Volumes/<Share>/ works because I've already connected to the drive using Finder. If I try to use a fully qualify the path with "smb://<Server>/<Share>" then my app doesn't see anything. Is there any way that I can get Java to connect to a directory without first having mapped or made the connection via some external tool like Finder?
Here's the code I'm testing with:
package FileImports;
import java.io.File;
import java.util.Arrays;
public class Dir {
static int indentLevel = -1;
static void listPath(File path) {
File files[];
indentLevel++;
files = path.listFiles();
if (!(files == null)){
Arrays.sort(files);
for (int i = 0, n = files.length; i < n; i++) {
for (int indent = 0; indent < indentLevel; indent++) {
System.out.print(" ");
System.out.println(files.toString());
if (files[i].isDirectory()) {
listPath(files[i]);
indentLevel--;
} else System.out.println("Directory not accessible!");
public static void main(String args[]) {
// this path works where <share> = the directory where my files exist.
listPath(new File("/Volumes/<share>"));
// this path returns a null result in files
// listPath(new File("smb://<Server>/<Share>/"));
Thanks,
Alex

Thanks for the response. I'll have to dig a little deeper into JCIFS. It looks like it would work great windows to windows. I haven't been able to find in the documentation where it would work on OS X without having to mount the targeted file system first. Has anyone had success creating a connection to a windows file system from OS X with JCIFS?Since jCIFS is written in pure Java and implements the entire SMB/CIFS protocoll on it's own it doesn't require any support from the OS (apart from a normal JVM runnig). Thus it should work exactly the same in OS X and Windows (and Linux and Solaris and ...).
