Getting System Path in Java?

Is there any way of getting the system PATH in Java? I looked at the System Properties, but it doesn't seem to be in there.
Thanx in advance.

Thanx in advance.Do you mean your application's run path, or something else?
You can get the application path like this:
String strAppPath = System.getProperty("user.dir");

Hi,
I just want to know how can i get system variables
using java code.

want to get the number of processes that's running.
Thanks alotSome generic "system variables" are available though Java, usually through the System class.
Date today = new Date();
is instantiated with the current date and time.
Other system values, like environment values, should be passed to java through the command line (-D option) by setting system properties.
Finally, platform specific values like the number of processes running will have to be written in platform specific code and executed by JNI (java native interface).
Java is platform or system agnostic. Common system values, like time, are implemented. Hopefully you won't need platform specific values.

Thanks for your reply.
I have copied the .jar file in a new directory under <user name>/Documents. The SampleRTLCloud.txt is also in the same directory. How do I get the path of the directory where the application is run from?
Your help will be much appreciated.

How to get system tasks using Java?

I have question about system tasks. I have to list all tasks which are working in the system. Is there any class which i useful to do that? I've tried to write shell script but it won't be working in system different than Linux. I will be grateful for any help.

In the standard Java classes, there are no such implementation. You are sort of answering the question youself, since you've made a script to do it. It is the same for all systems. To get the system information you need to talk to the system and to do that you need to know what system you are on...
Some system functions are more or less the same in all systems so they can be reached by the Systems-class.

can u help me regarding that....
Thanks in advanceI wonder how that would work then. Let's take a fictive example. You have a class com.mycompany.myapp.Foo. This would mean that the class is stored in some directory like this:
c:/webrootdir/myapp/WEB-INF/classes/com/mycompany/myapp/Foo.classTo be able to run such a class from the commandline using Java, you would have to invoke this command:
java -cp c:/webrootdir/myapp/WEB-INF/classes com.mycompany.myapp.FooHow would knowing the exact path to this class help you?

How to get the local file system path of an image that loaded into the image component in cq5?

Hi,
I'm having hard time uploading image from filesystem where as drag and drop works.
I'm not getting a path of image selected from filesystem.
here is my code..
private String populateImage() throws Exception {
                    if (currentNode != null && currentNode.isNode()) {
                                   Node ImageNode = JcrResourceUtil.createPath(currentNode, "image",
                                                                      null, "nt:unstructured", true);
                                   imageUrl = ImageNode.hasProperty("fileReference") ? ImageNode.getProperty("fileReference").getValue().getString() : "";
       imageUrl = imageUrl.trim();
        log.info("MANAGE PROFILE BEAN IMAGE URL INSIDE IF IS: " + imageUrl);
                    } else {
                                        imageUrl = properties.get("fileReference", "");
                                        imageUrl = imageUrl.trim();
                                        log.info("MANAGE PROFILE BEAN IMAGE URL INSIDE ELSE IS: " + imageUrl);
                    return imageUrl;
So if I drag and drop..
ImageNode.hasProperty("fileReference") is returning a valid path
but if I upload an image it is returning Null.
So how to get the path? any suggestions around would be appreciated...

When you say path you mean you want the path to print out in your HTML? Is that accurate? If so you generally need to constructe that path based on the path to the current component. So if you component is located at /content/mysite/en/about/mypage/jcr:content/parsys/image then the path to the image would generally be something like /content/mysite/en/about/mypage/jcr:content/parsys/image.img.jpg/1283829292873.jpg. The .img. selector triggers the servlet associated with the foundation parbase - /libs/foundation/components/parbase/img.GET.java. The reason you reference it this way is that there is no filesystem path to the image - it is stored in the repository not on the file system, and it requires a servlet or script to ge the binary from the repository and steam it.
Normally the way you'd construct this is to use the out of the box Image class - so look at /libs/foundation/components/image/image.jsp. Now this example assumes that your component where you loaded the image extends /libs/foundation/components/parbase. If it doesn't then you either have to change your sling:superResourceType to /libs/foundation/components/parbase or some other component that does exten /libs/foundation/components/parbase.

How can I locate the 'Windows system path' with in java?

Hi,
Is it possible to locate the System path (usu x:\winnt\system32\) of the OS at run time? What classes and methods should I use?
Thanks in advance

You can't from pure java, that's a windows specific value that's stored in the registry. Sorry, you can get anything that's in the System.getPropeties() there are many usefule values in there like the user's home dir and the java runtime version and java home, but not the C:\winnt directory as a value. Sorry.
