How to execute batch files or command in JSP environment

Hi,
I am new to Java in general and JSP too.
I have an application that uses JSP code i need to make it run or execute a number of batch files that run under command prompt (ms-dos)?
Can you provide me with sample code on how to do this?

Simply put, you can't do that.
(Outputs from executing .BATs can be used in a response strings, though.)

How to execute batch file from JSP

hi frens !
i wanna know how to execute batch file from my JSP.i am using exec() method to get call the batch file. but its not working ....plz help
here mine code:-
File F = new File("C:/var.bat");
     try{
      if (F.exists())
        Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
        String url=F.getAbsolutePath();
         Process proc = rt.exec(url);
        proc.waitFor();
        proc.destroy();
        catch(Exception IOEx){
       System.out.println(IOEx);
}Thanks and Regards
Allwyn

You might improve your chances of getting help if you do two things:
1) Explain what "not working" means.
2) ChangeSystem.out.println(IOEx); to IOEx.printStackTrace(); (in the eventhat is in fact related to "not working").

Execute Batch Files, DOS Commands etc. from my Java Application

Can someone show me how it works?
I dont need any return values, just execute a Batch File or a Command
Thx, Guardian

Hi Luke,
Just wanna add 2 things to what you've written. (your sample code)
Point 1pro.waitFor(); should be called before attempting the read anything from the process' InputStream if you don't want to lose anything your process might print out. When Runtime.getRuntime.exec("your_command") is executed, the resulting process is just another runaway thread unless you tell you calling thread to wait for this process to end before proceeding further. This is where waitFor() comes in.
Point 2Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\command.com /C mybat.bat"); works but it is pretty platform dependent. If you need to write platform independent stuff, you could just drop the command.com stuff and go right to the batch file or the command you need to execute. I've managed to just survive with Runtime.getRuntime().exec("mybat.bat");Regards,
Noel

Executing batch file from Java stored procedure hang

Dears,
I'm using the following code to execute batch file from Java Stored procedure, which is working fine from Java IDE JDeveloper 10.1.3.4.
public static String runFile(String drive)
String result = "";
String content = "echo off\n" + "vol " + drive + ": | find /i \"Serial Number is\"";
try {
File directory = new File(drive + ":");
File file = File.createTempFile("bb1", ".bat", directory);
file.deleteOnExit();
FileWriter fw = new java.io.FileWriter(file);
fw.write(content);
fw.close();
// The next line is the command causing the problem
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /c " + file.getPath());
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String line;
while ((line = input.readLine()) != null)
result += line;
input.close();
file.delete();
result = result.substring( result.lastIndexOf( ' ' )).trim();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
result = e.getClass().getName() + " : " + e.getMessage();
return result;
The above code is used in getting the volume of a drive on windows, something like "80EC-C230"
I gave the SYSTEM schema the required privilege to execute the code.
EXEC DBMS_JAVA.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'java.io.FilePermission', '<<ALL FILES>>', 'read ,write, execute, delete');
EXEC DBMS_JAVA.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'writeFileDescriptor', '');
EXEC DBMS_JAVA.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'readFileDescriptor', '');
GRANT JAVAUSERPRIV TO SYSTEM;
I have used the following to load the class in Oracle 9ir2 DB:
loadjava -u [system/******@orcl|mailto:system/******@orcl] -v -resolve C:\Server\src\net\dev\Util.java
CREATE FUNCTION A1(drive IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 AS LANGUAGE JAVA NAME 'net.dev.Util.a1(java.lang.String) return java.lang.String';
variable serial1 varchar2(1000);
call A1( 'C' ) into :serial1;
The problem that it hangs when I execute the call to the function (I have indicated the line causing the problem in a comment in the code).
I have seen similar problems on other forums, but no solution posted
[http://oracle.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/oracle-jdeveloper-l/run-an-exe-file-using-oracle-database-trigger-1567662]
I have posted this in JDeveloper forum ([t-853821]) but suggested to post for forum in DB.
Can anyne help?

Dear Peter,
You are totally right, I got this as mistake copy paste. I'm just having a Java utility for running external files outside Oracle DB, this is the method runFile()
I'm passing it the content of script and names of file to be created on the fly and executed then deleted, sorry for the mistake in creating caller function.
The main point, how I claim that the line in code where creating external process is the problem. I have tried the code with commenting this line and it was working ok, I made this to make sure of the permission required that I need to give to the schema passing security permission problems.
The function script is running perfect if I'm executing vbs script outside Oracle using something like "cscript //NoLogo aaa1.vbs", but when I use the command line the call just never returns to me "cmd.exe /c bb1.bat".
where content of bb1.bat as follows:
echo off
vol C: | find /i "Serial Number is"
The above batch file just get the serial number of hard drive assigned when windows formatted HD.
Same code runs outside Oracle just fine, but inside Oracle doesn't return if I exectued the following:
variable serial1 varchar2(1000);
call A1( 'C' ) into :serial1;
Never returns
Thanks for tracing teh issue to that details ;) hope you coul help.

Executing jar file on command line [windows]

Hi,
I am trying to run .jar file "senthil.jar" . It catures systems screenshot.
http://sensaran.wordpress.com/2010/06/04/screen-shot-utility-using-air-2-0/
I am using it in AIR application. I want to execute this file from command line. I am not sure how to pass command line arguments.
Currently i am trying to do it like : java -jar senthil.jar
I need to provide a parameter as "Print Screen"
Its corresponding Flex Code is :
            var arg:Vector.<String> = new Vector.<String>;
            arg.push("-jar");
            arg.push(File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("senthil.jar").nativePath);
             var file:File = new File();
            file = file.resolvePath(javaPath.replace(/\//g, File.separator));
            var npInfo:NativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();
            npInfo.executable = file;
            npInfo.arguments = arg;
            nativeProcess = new NativeProcess();
            nativeProcess.start(npInfo);
            nativeProcess.standardInput.writeMultiByte("Print Screen" + "\n", "utf-8");
Thanks

Did you give the -jar option with javaw? And the "%1"? See the file associations of some other extensions for example of how to do this
For example on my machine,
W:\>assoc .mp3
.mp3=Winamp.File
W:\>ftype Winamp.File
Winamp.File="C:\Program Files\Winamp\Winamp.exe" "%1"Now I can
start song.mp3Or doubleclick on mp3 file in explorer to open it in winamp.

How to use batch files to send the load from ODC to UCM?

Hello all.
We're trying to do this along this week and, until now, we couldn't figure out how to use batch files containing metada on ODC and commit the output files to UCM.
So these are our specs:
VM 1
ODC - 10gR3
OS - Windows XP 32 bits SP3
DB - Oracle DB 11.2
VM 2
No ODC
UCM 11.1.1.6
OS - Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Carthage)
We've opened a ticket with Oracle Support to know how we should do this. The number is SR 3-6108348211.
Let me try to explain what we want to do:
1 - we have a batch file with all metadata of many files from UCM
2 - we want to use this file in ODC, so the application will convert the images and commit them to UCM
3 - we should see all these files, their metadata, thumbnails and related content in UCM
4 - this is a batch file example we want to send to ODC:
@Properties LocalData
IdcService=CHECKIN_UNIVERSAL
dRevLabel = 1
primaryFile=/tra/Relatorio_UHPF-03-04-2008-M-RL-EA.pdf
dDocName=TRA_33
dDocTitle=UHPF-03-04-2008-M-RL-EA
dSecurityGroup=MAM_TRA
dDocType=Document
dDocAuthor=luis.neotropical
dInDate=14/05/08
xC_CLASSIFICACAO=EA - Educação Ambiental
xC_DATA=01/04/08
xC_DATAVALIDADE=30/04/08
xC_LOCALIZACAOFISICA=N/D
xC_USUARIO_DEP=LUIS FERNANDO DA CAMARA
xC_TIPO=RL - Relatório
xC_USINA=UHPF - USINA HIDRELÉTRICA PASSO FUNDO
xC_FICHA=MAM - Relatorios Ambientais
xC_IDDOCMAN=TRADocID=157

xC_DESTINOINICIAL=Tractebel
xC_ORIGEM=Neotropical
xC_FORMATODOCUMENTO=Digital
xC_GENERODOCUMENTO=
xC_DOCPRINCIPAL=Sim
@end
<<EOD>>
5 - So, when we use this batch file on ODC, the file (or image) will be converted, all metadata attached and then sent to UCM.
But we don't know how to do the link between ODC and UCM. The Oracle Support says it is necessary to do some customization. In the books I could not find any info about how to do, just generic information or how to use ODC.
Is there a way (without customization) to do that? Can anyone give us a step-by-step guide?
Thanks for all help and guidance.
Fernando

What is the one-sentence requirement or issue you're trying to solve?
If you only want content to be converted to pdf, then you should already have that with your items checked into UCM (if you have IBR enabled).
if you really want to feed content into ODC using a batchfile, my first thought would be to create a transformation utility/app that will convert your batchfiles to the expected ODC import server folder job format. then you'll have to move or map the content to match.
Again, without knowing the exact issue/business requirement you're trying to work through, I'd say a redesign of your ingestion process may be in order.
If you feed content directly into ODC through any supported ODC method (watch folder, email, scanner, fax, etc), then you'll be able to use everything ootb as you'll be able to auto-commit directly into UCM or add an indexing step and manual commit to UCM.
ODC is basically a front end for indexing and extra ingestion options to your content repo.
IPM is basically the same, but it includes some extra process-related details (process metadata, process integrations/bpel/bpm, other system integrations/ebs/crm, etc). I don't feel that IPM would help with the transformation-specific question you've put out there.

Executing batch files from websevice using ODI OS Command

Hi,
Is it possible to execute the batch files using odi os command from webservices.
We have developed a webservice, which passess some parameters to one batch file and after that we executing the same batch file in package using odi os command. In opeartor is showing as running, it never ends.
But if we run the same package from designer, it is executing successfully. Also the same web service is working fine for executing non batch scenarios.
what could be the problem??
We got one possible reason for failure...
For executing the batch from web services, we need read and executable permissions on the drive where batch sits.
We are logging into ODI using SUPERVISOR. How to give the permissions to SUPERVISOR as we are having windows authentication.
Edited by: Naveen Suram on Dec 17, 2009 8:07 PM
As a work around, can we use ODIOSCommand instead of OS Command. But it is asking for starting event? Whether both the commands does the same functionality??

From the FAQ:
2. How do you launch an external program on a Microsoft Windows platform from a program developed on the Java [tm] programming language?
The following will launch notepad in Microsoft Windows NT:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c notepad.exe");
To launch a program in Microsoft Windows 95/98 use:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("c:\\windows\\notepad.exe");
The Runtime class allows interaction between a program and its environment. The first string command instructs the command line interpretor, cmd to open up the calculator application.
The exec() methods do not use a shell; any arguments must have the full pathname to the shell as well as the command itself.
For example, to run a shell on the UNIX� platform, type:
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process p = rt.exec("/usr/bin/sh -c date");
To run a batch file under Microsoft Windows 95/98:
Process p = rt.exec("command.com /c c:\\mydir\\myfile.bat");
To run a batch file under Microsoft Windows NT:
Process p = rt.exec("cmd /c c:\\mydir\\myfile.bat");
where 'cmd' and 'command.com' are the command-line interpreters for Microsoft Windows machines.
The Runtime.exec() methods might not work effectively for some processes on certain platforms. Special care should be taken with native windowing, daemon, WIN16/DOS process or some shell scripts.

Can Java execute batch file outside of current JVM in separate process tree

Hi,
Does anyone know how to run programs from Java as separate processes that will not die when the spawning java program exits (JVM exits).
The problem I have with using Runtime.exec is it spawns only child processes under the current running JVM, thus when the origonal program that called Runtime.exec ends so does all child processes.
Basically I want to start a DOS batch file from my Java application, my Java application will then immediately exit (calling System.exit(0) ). The batch program will continue to run, its does some file clean up, create's some new files and deletes the old jar (containing the main app), it then rebuilds the main app jar and and executes the main class and then exits itself.
I've also tried the apache.tomcat.jni.Proc :-
long pool = Pool.create( new Long(0).longValue() );
long pa = Procattr.create( pool );
Procattr.dirSet( pa, "c:\\temp\\updater\\");
Procattr.cmdtypeSet( pa, Proc.APR_SHELLCM );
Procattr.detachSet( pa, 1 );
long proc = Proc.alloc( pool );
Proc.create( proc, "test.bat", new String[]{"test.bat"}, null, pa, pool );
System.exit(0);
The detach option doesn't work, if I take it off then the bat file runs and stops the JVM exiting, if I leave it in the batch file never gets called.
Is this possible in Java. Can java start master process on Windows XP JDK1.5+?
Cheers
Chris.

Well I found the answer elsewhere (java.net) thought I'd post it here for future visitors who might be experience the same problem.
Basically Runtime can do this however it must be done the following way :-
The java:-
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Process p=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c c:\\test.bat");
        System.out.println("done");
        System.out.println("quitting");
        System.exit(0);
}The batch:-
@echo off
PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 5000 >nul
java -cp "c:\ " MainThe important line that makes the whole thing work is :-
@echo offIf this line is missing then the whole things locks up (must be the io streams getting used)
Also this code can not be run from an IDE (well at least not from Intellj) as it also locks up.
It must be run from a command prompt or jar.
Also note that any commands in the batch file must have there output redirected to "nul" otherwise Windows kills the cmd as soon as it trys to output to a dead stream (dead because the Java has exited). for example :-
@echo off
PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 10000 >nul
cd %1
del /F /Q *.* >nul
move /Y new\*.* >nul
RD /Q /S new >nul
PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 1000 >nul
java -cp "c:\ " Main
exit

Executing batch file as administrator changes working directory

hey guys,
I already posted this question on the msdn-forums and they sent me here. I hope, you can help me.
My situation: I have a java program which I compile with exe4j. exe4j adds some nice features so I can install the program as a service with the command "myexe.exe /install"
I put that command in a batch file (more user friendly).
The problem: Only administrators can install services (in Win 7). But if I run the batch-file as administrator, the working directory changes to the system32-directory and I get an "command not found"-error.
The question: How can I solve this? The only solution I know at the moment is setting a environment variable at installation time that points to the install-location. Is there another way?
Thx for your help in advance

With runas you in fact logon to another seesion. So cmd is started with his own starting directory (being where it is located, system32).
I would recommend never to rely on the working dir for a batch file or script, but to always include the full path to the needed command/executables. If needed you can use environment variables to get the pathes of user-customised folders (for example the %usersprofile% variable).
Using .lnk files (normal shortcuts) you can specify the working dir to start in if you would really need that functionality.
