How to call a Java class from another java class ??

Hi ..... can somebody plz tell me
How to call a Java Class from another Java Class assuming both in the same Package??
I want to call the entire Java Class (not any specific method only........I want all the functionalities of that class)
Please provide me some slotuions!!
Waiting for some fast replies!!
Regards
Smita Mohanty

Hi Smita,
you just need to create an object of that class,thats it. Then you will be able to execute each and every method.
e.g.
you have developed A.java and B.java, both are in same package.
in implementaion of B.java
class B
            A obj = new A();
             //to access A's methods
             A.method();
            // to access A's variable
            //either
           A.variable= value.
           //or
           A.setvariable() or A.getvariable()

How to call a shell script from a java code

Hello can any one suggest me how to call a shell script from a java program that takes three parameters.
i have a shell script (msp_restore_gui) when i run this script in the command line in a RHEL5 ,SUSE10 and Debian machine it works fine .I even tested to call it from a java program and it also worked fine but when i used the same in a J2ee application where the user when clicks the restore button in a webserver this inturn sends the request to a java file named BackupManager.java where i call the shell script.But here it fails.Waiting for your suggestions.If you want i can put the code also here

yes the script is in /usr/local/mss/tools/backup and the script (msp_restore_gui) is as follows

How to compile and run a .java file from another java program

hello,
can any one tell me how to compile and run a *.java* file from another java program which is not in same directory?

Well a smarter way of implementing this is by using a solution provided by Java Itself.
If you are using J2SE 6.0+ there is an in built solution provided along with JDK itself and inorder to go ahead with solution the below are set of API which you;d be using it for compiling Java Programs (Files)
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/tools/package-summary.html
How do i do that ??
Check out the below articles which would help you of how to do that
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-jcomp/index.html
http://www.javabeat.net/javabeat/java6/articles/java_6_0_compiler_api_1.php
http://books.google.com/books?id=WVbpv8SQpkEC&pg=PA155&lpg=PA155&dq=%22javax+tools%22+compiling+java+file&source=web&ots=XOt0siYe-f&sig=HH27ovuwvJgklIf8omTykUmy-eM
Now once we are done with compilation.In order to run a Specific class all you ought to do is create an object and its specific methods of a specified class included in the CLASSPATH which you can manage it easily by usage little bit reflections.
Hope that might help :)

If anyone can help me in atleast getting the command prompt when Runtime.exec("cmd.exe") is executed...that would be great...I tried out notepad.exe, calc, explorer instead of cmd.exe...all the commands display their respective windows..except cmd.exe...the command prompt doesnt appear...

How to call inner class method in one java file from another java file?

hello guyz, i m tryin to access an inner class method defined in one class from another class... i m posting the code too wit error. plz help me out.
// test1.java
public class test1
     public test1()
          test t = new test();
     public class test
          test()
          public int geti()
               int i=10;
               return i;
// test2.java
class test2
     public static void main(String[] args)
          test1 t1 = new test1();
          System.out.println(t1.t.i);
i m getting error as
test2.java:7: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : variable t
location: class test1
          System.out.println(t1.t.geti());
^

There are various ways to define and use nested classes. Here is a common pattern. The inner class is private but implements an interface visible to the client. The enclosing class provides a factory method to create instances of the inner class.
interface I {
    void method();
class Outer {
    private String name;
    public Outer(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    public I createInner() {
        return new Inner();
    private class Inner implements I {
        public void method() {
            System.out.format("Enclosing object's name is %s%n", name);
public class Demo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Outer outer = new Outer("Otto");
        I junior = outer.createInner();
        junior.method();
}

How to call a rtf template from another rtf template by passing a value

Hi Gurus,
Its about calling a rtf template from another rtf template by passing a value.
My requirement is like:
I got a quote report from Siebel, based on the product PartNumber I need to pull product description or literature from another database database.
My approach is something like; get a partnumber from quote report pass it to another rtf template which uses the partnumber and get the data from table using DataSource. When user pull a quote report from siebel this new rtf template should attach to the quote at the end.
I've gone through all available blogs about sub-reports and white papers from Oracle they are not much helpful since I need step-by-step.
http://www.adivaconsulting.com/adiva-blog/item/36-working-with-rtf-sub-templates.html
bip-subtemplate-1-132933.pdf
I'm using 10g obiee integrated with Siebel.
Just started learning BIP.
Thanks in advance.

How to call a rtf template from another rtf template by passing a value try in main template create hyperlink of url with parameters for another template
http://bipconsulting.blogspot.ru/2010/02/drill-down-to-detail-or-another-report.html
When user pull a quote report from siebel this new rtf template should attach to the quote at the end.it'll be only another report
IMHO you can not attach it to main. it'll be second independent report
you can try subtemplate but it's not about rtf from rtf by click
it's about call automatically rtf subtemplate from main rtf based on some conditions
for example, main template contain some data and if some condition is true then call subtemplate and place it instead of its condition

Launching a java application from another java application

Hi,
I'm facing an interesting challenge :-)
Inside a Java application, I want to start another java application.
Possible solutions in my list :
1. Using jakarta commons launcher.
2. Runtime.exec (make the code platform dependent).
3. Starting the main method of the other app by create a new Thread inside the current app
4. I know people did this by calling an ant target from the java application but I don't have
any sample code, I appreciate any sample code for it.
Thanks,
Ali Salehi

That is an iteresting challenge :)Don't be mean; he's polite, done some investigation and taken the trouble to be clear. The question, presumably, is "has anyone got a different solution or a preference as to which of these is the best?"
In which case, my advice would be to say that invoking main in a separate thread is fundamentally different from Runtime.exec() because the former would run in the same JVM. Is this what you want? If one app has the other on its classpath then do they need to be separate apps? Could they be modules of a single app?

Please help with executing a java program from another java program

Hi, I have tried to execute a very simple java program which is printed out "Hello world" from another java gui program when the user click on the "START" button. However, I don't receive any print out on the terminal when they click it. These two programs are being developed in Unix environment. Here is the code that I am trying to use.
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
r.exec("java HelloWorld");
p.s. HelloWorld is java class of the HelloWorld.java

I think you have to luanch your MS Prompt first before executing the command.

How to call a Dialog Program from another Dialog Program

Dear All,
How can I call a dialog program with return value from another dialog program?
Regards,
Alok.

Hi Alok,
1. Insted of creating 2 different Dialog program. It's good to create as many screens as you want in same module pool program. Any way you can use the different TCODE for each screen.
2. Another and The best way is to create a function group and then inside function group use the function 2 module... In the function group define a global variable which will be present for both the function group if they are getting executed in sequence. and inside the Function Module call the screens using command " call screen <screenno>".
3. You can use set / get parameter to pass values of a field between two dynpro program.
