How to execute vbscript through java

Question

hi i m trying to run vbscript (that accept some command line arguments) through java .
my vbs file is stored in c: drive
purpose of vbs file : to map network drives.
i normally run it from command prompt using following syntax
c:\cscript map.vbs l: \\10.22.122.35\d$ <username> <password>
code in map.vbs
map.vbs
Dim objNetwork
Set objNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
strLocalDrive = WScript.Arguments.Item(0)
strRemoteShare = WScript.Arguments.Item(1)
strPer = "FALSE"
strUsr = WScript.Arguments.Item(2)
strPas = WScript.Arguments.Item(3)
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strLocalDrive, strRemoteShare, strPer, strUsr, strPas
my problem is i can easily accomplish this by using .batch file but i dont want to reveal my username and password
i just want to know is there any way thru which i can somehow link java program with dos command and execute vbs file
from my java program.
the code that i have got is not working properly or has to be modified to work.
          String os = System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase();
     if (os.indexOf("windows") != -1)
          String[] command = new String[]{"cmd.exe", "/c","cscript","c:\\map.vbs", '"'+strDrive+'"','"'+strPath+'"',"<username>" ,"<password>"};
          Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
Kindly help me as this is very urgent.

Answer 1

prompt for the login, the password, and the new share name, and store them in variables, then, you can do something like:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("net use " + sharenameVar + " \\\\HOST\\share /user:HOST\\" + userVar + " \"" + passwordVar + "\"");with the following values:
HOST: PC10
user : toto
pass : a password
sharename: I:
it will result in :
net use I: \\PC10\share /user:PC10\toto "a password"
this will map the new share with the given credentials ; there is no need to add some complexity by using a vbscript to do that
