How to Call .XDO file From Java Program

Hi,
I have developed a report in using BI Publisher version 10.1.3.
I created the report and it only created XDO files. If I want to call XDO file from Java program how I can do that.
What are the APIs available to do that.
Thanks
-Ashutosh

Hi,
the JavaAPI didn't work with the xdo-Files. But you can create a proxy stub for the Web Service API of BI Publisher which uses the xdo's in the repository.

How to call gnuplot command from java

Hi there,
In our course, we are required to develop an GUI for gnuplot. In case you don't know about gnuplot, it's a plotting program and has lots of command. We want to use java and swing, but now we don't know how to call gnuplot command from java, or how to execute a shell command(script) from java.
By the way, since we need read in files with several columns of data and allow user to select a column, we want to use JTable. Is that reasonable?
Thanks a lot for any suggestions!
Jack

Hi, there:
Will using JTable add much overhead? I may have to use several JTables and switch among them. I can add scroll bar to or edit JTables, right?
BTW, do you have experience about gnuplot? Can I find the command tree of gnuplot somewhere? Or do you know a better place to post question about gnuplot? unix/linux group, maybe.
Thanks,
Jack
P.S. Would you guys answer my question after I use up my duke dollars? :- )

Calling external programs from Java?

Hi All,
Is there a way of calling external applications from Java without using Runtime.exec(). That method seems quite messy when you are dealing with streaming data from an input file to an output file. Basically what I'm asking is there a way to run a command the same way you would type it in a command shell?
Thanks

Ok, I've an external application that I want to be called inside a Java GUI. It has several input arguements, which the format looks something like:
programname inputfile > outputfile
Simple enough.

Works fine from a shell command line. From what I understand, this won't work using Runtime.exec() because that method will just start the application. Works fine from Runtime.exec(). Since you are'>' to write stdout to a file you need to us a shell to execute the command.
String[] command = {"sh", "-c","programname inputfile > outputfile"};
Process process = runtime.exec(command);
You need to read, digest and implement the recommendations given in http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html .
File input and output from the application has to be taken care of programatically (java.io stuff). Fine if you've only one input and output. But if you have several input files and hundreds of output files, where does this leave you. It would be much easier if you could pass a string command to the shell directly as if you typed it in the command line yoursel!

Call .bat file from java code

I need to call an application that uses a .bat file to execute from a java program. Is that possible?
This is the .bat file:

How to run perl file from java file..???

Hi All,
How to run a perl file from java file.I know that there is one JPL(Java-Perl Library) preprocessor which can be used to do this,but no idea of how to do it..
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

How to Call C++ Method from Java

I need to call C++ method from Java.
I have gone through the JNI tuorial , but was not able to pin point things.
I read that :
You have to write JNI c functions which then call your C++ member functions.You need to write a JNI function which will call new on your C++ class.
Now i have java class :
Java Code JavaClass.java ---->
class JavaClass{
public native void nativeMethod();
    static
        System.loadLibrary("NativeCppCode");
     private void callCppMethod()
          //call C++ method
                JavaClass jvc = new JavaClass();
                jvc.nativeMethod()
}Cpp Code:
NativeCppCode.h---->
class NativeCppCode
public:
    getValue();
    setValue();
private:
   int a;
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_JavaClass_nativeMethod(JNIEnv *env
               ,jobject obj);NativeCppCode.C---->
NativeCppCode::getValue()
   return a;
NativeCppCode::setValue()
   a = 1;
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_JavaClass_nativeMethod(JNIEnv *env
               ,jobject obj)
NativeCppCode* nativeInstabce = new NativeCppCode();
NativeCppCode.setValue();
}Is this the correct way to do it.
Any suggestion would be a great help to me

tryit wrote:

JNI uses C methods.
Is this the correct way to do it.Same way you would do it in any C/C++ method (not java)
       MyClass* p = ....
       p->doit();
Common idiom for the pointer in the above is to pass it back and forth to your java code as a java long. You cast it it and from your class pointer. Provide an explicit java method to free it when done. Besides providing the explicit method also implement a finalizer to free it as well (however that is a fail safe and should not be relied upon.)

How To : Call External Webservice from BPEL and pass SOAP Message to the WS

Hello All-
Greetings to all BPEL gurus. I am currently facing difficulties in calling an External Webservice from my BPEL Process and passing SOAP Message to it. The details are below:
<strong>1. The BPEL process, using database polling feature of DB Adapter, will get the records from the database.</strong>
<strong>2. Transform the message</strong>
<strong>3. Call the External Webservice and pass the transformed message as the input to it. However the Webservice expects the BPEL process to send SOAP headers in the input message.</strong>
I am struggling on how to put the transformed message within a SOAP envelope in the BPEL process.
If anyone had similar requirements and have successfully been able to send SOAP messages from BPEL process to an external webservice, kindly let me know.
Also if there is some kind of documentation or any link in the forum that I can refer, please let me know that as well.
I am new to Webservice integration using BPEL and would really appreciate your help.
Thanks In Advance
Regards,
Dibya

Hi Dharmendra,
I am trying to send a SOAP message from my BPEL process to a web service. I have a complete SOAP message in a complex variable defined in the wsdl for the partnerlink (web service). My problem is that when I invoke the partnerlink it fails even though the content shown in the BPEL console looks valid.
I have set up obtunnel to see what I am actually sending out from BPEL. You mention that BPEL creates the SOAP envelope automatically.
I think that my problem is a result of this automatic SOAP envelope that BPEL is creating. Do you know if there is a way to turn it off?
This is what I see in the TCP monitor, please note the double SOAP env:Body:
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <env:Body> <RCMR_IN000002NR01 xmlns="urn:hl7-org:v3" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing" xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
