How can I get the console Output generated by a exe file

when I am trying to use method getOutputSteam of Process to gain the outputStream,I got nothing!
I have also tried to use stream redirect,also no result!
please help me! Thank you in advance!
my main code are below:
Process ps=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("xxx.exe");/*xxx.exe is a executable program which will generate a console with the message I want to gain.*/
int exitVal= ps.waitFor();
if(exitVal==0){
BufferredReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(ps.getInputStream())); String st;
while((st = br.readLine()) !=null){
System.out.println("write:"+st);
}//my result show that I got nothing from the progam.

ok, this works (I tried) :
import java.lang.*;
import java.io.*;
public class ps {
        public ps() {
        public static void main(String[] args)
                try
                        Runtime rt=Runtime.getRuntime();
                        Process ps = rt.exec("ps");
                        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(ps.getInputStream()));
                        String st;
                        while((st = br.readLine()) !=null){
                                    System.out.println("write:" + st);
                } catch (Exception e)
                        e.printStackTrace();
}But it's not the same that a simple ps :
[host@localhost java]$ ps
PID TTY TIME CMD
4065 pts/1 00:00:00 bash
4319 pts/1 00:00:00 ps

  • How can I get the cursor's position in a opened file and display a menu?

    Hello,
    I want to make a program by which I will be able to display a panel/pops up menu at the corsor's current position, (In any text/doc file or in the desktop, we can display a menu by right click of the mouse.) Now I want my program to do the same task.
    More clearly-
    1. First I would save some words or sentences in a file(aa.txt).
    2. Then I would open another text file/ a word/ excel/ or any other editor( bb.txt / cc.doc / dd.xls / ee.html ).
    3. While editing or writing something in the opened file, if I click the right mouse button/ press a key (ctrl+space), a menu will appear containing the sentences I saved in the file(aa.txt) previously.
    My program will tell me the cursor's position in bb.txt / cc.doc / dd.xls / ee.html that i opened. And display a menu. my problem is not reading / writing in a file.
    My problem is how can I get the cursor's position in a opened file display a menu at that position by a mouse/key action*.
    Would you please help me on this regard.
    Thanks

  • How can I get the context-parm from a web.xml file using struts?

    Hello:
    I need get the context-param from the web.xml file of my web project using struts. I want configurate the jdbc datasource connection pooling here. For example:
    <context-param>
    <param-name>datasource</param-name>
    <param-value>jdbc/formacion</param-value>
    <description>Jdbc datasource</description>
    </context-param>
    and then from any Action class get this parameter.
    Similar using a simple server can be:
    /** Initiates new XServlet */
    public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
              for (Enumeration e = config.getInitParameterNames(); e.hasMoreElements();) {
                   System.out.println(e.nextElement());
              super.init(config);
              String str = config.getInitParameter("datasource");
              System.out.println(str);
         public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
              throws ServletException, IOException {
              // res.setContentType( );
              System.out.println("Got post request in XServlet");
              PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
              out.println("nada");
              out.flush();
              out.close();
    but only this works for init-params, if I use
    <servlet>
         <servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>
         <display-name>MyServlet</display-name>
         <servlet-class>myExamples.servlet.MyServlet</servlet-class>
         <init-param>
         <param-name>datasource</param-name>
         <param-value>jdbc/formacion</param-value>
    </init-param>
    </servlet>
    inside my web.xml. I need something similar, but using struts inside the action class for that I can get the context-params and call my database.
    Thank you

    To get context parameters from your web.xml file you can simply get the ActionServlet object from an implementing action object class. In the perform (or execute) method make the following call.
    ServletContext context = getServlet().getServletContext();
    String tempContextVar =
    context.getInitParameter("<your context param >");

  • How can I get the Conditoned output from PXI 1520 in PXI 1011 combined Chassie?

    Respected Sir,
    I am using PXI-SCXI combined Chassie PXI 1011 for my application. I have placed three SCXI 1520 modules, a motion card PXI 7352 and PXI 6052E DAQ card in the combined chassie. You know the PXI 1520 and PXI 6052E are connected internally using the Backplane of the SCXI and is not user accessable. Now I need the conditioned output of the PXI 1520 to be used as an Analog input for the Motion Control card PXI 7352. How can I do that? Whether PXI 1180 could solve my problem? If so, how do I connect the PXI 1180 to PXI 1011?
    Kindly clarify me as soon as possible.
    Thanking you,

  • How can i get the Icons in the output of ALV?

    Hi,
    I am trying to get the Icons in my report output using ALVs.
    i am adding the following line
       line_fieldcat-icon = 'ICON_GREEN_LIGHT'. in my field catalog for getting the respective Icon in the list. but the Icon is not getting displayed?
    May i know whether the above specified line is correct or not? if not, how can i get the Icons in my output using ALVs?
    Thanks and regards,
    Ramesh.

    Hi,
    take idea from this code :
    INCLUDE ICONs.
    WRITE : / icon_green_light AS ICON.
    WRITE : / icon_red_light AS ICON.
    write : / icon_yellow_light AS ICON.
    OR
    add code as per steps below in your ALV report :
    <b>FIRST :</b>
    INCLUDE ICONs.
    <b>Second :</b> in your internal table add : 
    icon type icon-id,
    <b>Third :</b>
    add this value in icon field for green light.
    itab-icon =  '@08@'.
    append itab.
    <b>Fourth :</b> display
    is_fieldcat-tabname     = 'IT_FINAL'.
    is_fieldcat-fieldname   = 'ICON'.
    is_fieldcat-col_pos     = '1'.
    is_fieldcat-outputlen   = '12'.
    is_fieldcat-seltext_l   = 'ICON'.
    APPEND is_fieldcat TO it_fieldcat.
    CLEAR is_fieldcat.

  • How can I extract the native SQL generated by TopLink?

    How can I extract the native SQL generated by TopLink?
    This is useful for example to use pagination, or pass the SQL to a stored procedure that may do many things, like using a cursor, or apply security.
    Pagination example where the SQL inside the inner parentheses are generated from Toplink, and the outer SQL is generic:
    select *
    from
    (select xx.*, rownum as rn
    from
    (select o.order_id, r.name, ...
    from placed_order o, restaurant r
    where o.restaurant_id = r.restaurant_id
    order by o.order_ext_id
    ) xx
    where rownum < 21)
    where rn > 10

    Alternatively, you can open your sessions.xml in the Mapping Workbench and for a specific session, you can Click the Login Tab and then the Options tab. Then select "Native SQL" and it will be outputted to the console (assuming that is where you outputing it).

  • How can I get the "text" field from the actionEvent.getSource() ?

    I have some sample code:

                   System.out.println( "hi!! " + e.getSource() );
                   // I need to know a title of the button (which was clicked)...
    }The output of the code is something like this:
    hi! javax.swing.JButton[,140,5,60x25,alignmentX=0.0,alignmentY=0.5,
    border=javax.swing.plaf.BorderUIResource$CompoundBorderUIResource@1ebcda2d,

    disabledSelectedIcon=,margin=javax.swing.plaf.InsetsUIResource[top=2,left=14,bottom=2,
    right=14],paintBorder=true,paintFocus=true,pressedIcon=,rolloverEnabled=true,
    rolloverIcon=,rolloverSelectedIcon=,selectedIcon=,text=first,defaultCapable=true]
    I need this: "first" (from this part: "text=first" of the output above).
    Does anyone know how can I get the "text" field from the e.getSource() ?

    System.out.println( "hi!! " + ( (JButton) e.getSource() ).getText() );I think the problem is solved..If your need is to know the text of the button, yes.
    In a real-world application, no.
    In a RW application, a typical need is merely to know the "logical role" of the button (i.e., the button that validates the form, regardless of whether its text is "OK" or "Save", "Go",...). Text tends to vary much more than the structure of the UI over time.
    In this case you can get the source's name (+getName()+), which will be the name that you've set to the button at UI construction time. Or you can compare the source for equality with either button ( +if evt.getSource()==okButton) {...}+ ).
    All in all, I think the best solution is: don't use the same ActionListener for more than one action (+i.e.+ don't add the same ActionListener to all your buttons, which leads to a big if-then-else series in your actionPerformed() ).
    Eventually, if you're listening to a single button's actions, whose text change over time (e.g. "pause"/"resume" in a VCR bar), I still think it's a bad idea to rely on the text of the button - instead, this text corresponds to a logical state (resp. playing/paused), it is more maintainable to base your logic on the state - which is more resilient to the evolutions of the UI (e.g. if you happen to use 2 toggle buttons instead of one single play/pause button).

  • How can i get the meta data from database?

    Hi, all java and db experts,
    I need to write a tool to generate java file which will be used to hold the resultset of a stored procedure of Oracle. Is there any API call or tools to connect to db and then get the meta data of the return cursor instead of reading stored procedure definition on my own?
    Please help, thanks a lot.
    Hanna

    if i execute a Oracle stored procedure, the resultset of a cursor is returned. It's easy to know the meta data at the runtime.
    However, could i get the meta data about the resultset of a cursor before runtime? Such as by connecting to the database and ask it about meta data of a specified stored procedure?
    Is it feasible?
    DatabaseMetaData dbmd = conn.getMetaData();
    ResultSet rs = dbmd.getProcedureColumns("", "%", "SP_NAME", "%");
    while (rs.next()) {
    String colName = rs.getString(4);
    int colType = rs.getInt(5);
    int colDataType = rs.getInt(6);
    int colPrecision = rs.getInt(8);
    int colLen = rs.getInt(9);
    int colScale = rs.getInt(10);
    long defaultValue = rs.getLong(11);
    But what i get is a list of stored procedure parameters. In oracle, cursor is IN OUT parameter . How can i get the meta data about the resultset of cursor?

    Dear Friend,
    Here when you have the callableSattement as ?=proc(?), the first ? is an output parameter. So you should register it as out parameter using registeroutparameter.
    Then you can get the value from the outparameter using callablestatement.getXXX().
    Try that way.

    Hi Frank,
    Thank you so much for your advice, I got lot of knowledge from your book and articles since I am in transition from forms to JDeveloper.
    By surrounding <af:panelStretchLayout id="psSignature"> with <af:form id="f1">
    Now the following code is work on Firefox, everything fine, I can get the data back and call my server listener as I expected.
