        catch (IOException ex) {
            System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
        }I've debug and see, but the exitValue is even not exist at run time. Can you tell me where I'm going wrong.

Running a Batch file Using Java

hi All ,
I am executing a DOS batch file using the Java .
I am using it as
Process P;
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
P = rt.exec("C:\\X12TST\\BATCH1.BAT ");
But in case BATCH1.bat have call to some other Batch File Say Bactch2.bat , i am not getting the output of BATCH2.BAT .
My Java Program exits as soon as it enters to the point where BATCH1 is calling BATCH2 using (call BATCH2.bat).
Any help is resolving the problem is highlt appreciated .
Please advise me if you have any alternative to solve the problem .
Thanx in advace

The Runtime.exec() should'nt be used with a .bat or .cmd file since .bat and .cmd are not really executable. I think the expected behaviour you experimentred is a process hang at the last command line of the .bat file.
Insert "echo XXX" or "net send mycomputer XXX" debug messages in your .bat, you'll see the .bat executes until last line. But the last one NEVER terminates, resulting in a hang in the Java thread doing a process.waitFor().
The only workaround (or right use of exec) is to call the cmd.exe (with FULL PATH OF cmd.exe SPECIFIED in the exec() call). An exec() calling C:\WINNT\System32\cmd.exe /C mybatch.bat should return properly, cause cmd.exe is a standard Win32 program that will be launched to interpret mybatch.bat then terminate.
PLEASE UNIX/LINUX USERS : report if the behaviour you get is the same on your plat-form, or if it is -one more- bug in win32 OS. Can you exec() a shell script direcly or do you have to exec() a "bash" or "ksh" or "csh" with you shell script as command line argument ?

How to run a batch file using DAC

Gurus,
Please suggest if there is a way to run .bat files using DAC ? I suppose it can be done by configuring Execution Type as External Program. Please suggest how can this be achieved.
Thanks

I performed the same steps given in the link and ran the ex plan, but the task shows running and never completes. In my case i have created bat file for a different purpose (not for purging cache).
Is the path shown in Step 5 the default path or it can be any path ? Please suggest.
Thanks

HOw to create a Batch file for java application and whats the use of this ?

HI,
How to create a Batch file for java application ?
And whats the use of creating batch file ?
Thanks in advance

First of all, you're OT.
Second, you can find this everywhere in the net.
If you got a manifest declaring main class (an classpath if needed), just create a file named whatever.bat, within same directory of jar file, containing:
javaw -jar ./WhateverTheNameOfYourJarIs.jar %*By the way, assuming a Windows OS, you can just double click the jar file (no batch is needed).
Otherwise use:
javaw -cp listOfJarsAndDirectoriesSeparedBySemiColon country/company/application/package/className %*Where 'country/company/application/package/' just stands for a package path using '/' as separator instead of '.'
Don't specify the .class extension.
Javaw only works on Windows (you asked for batch, I assumed .BAT, no .sh), in Linux please use java.exe (path may be needed, Windows doesn't need it 'cause java's executables are copied to system32 folder in order to be always available, see PATH environment variable if you don't know what I'm talking about) and use ':' as classpath (cp) separator.
The '%***' tail is there in order to pass all parameters, it only works on Windows, refer to your shell docs for other OSs (something like $* may work).
This way you have a command you can call to launch your code (instead of opening NetBeans just to see your app working). You could schedule tasks on it or just call it in any command prompt (hope you know what it is 'cause there have been people in this very same forum with no clue about it, if not just hold the 'Windows button' and press 'R', then type 'cmd' and run it).
Finally add dukes and give 'hem away.
Bye.

Can we run the batch file using simple java application

Hello sir,
we want to run the batch file using simple java application. i tried with some example, we run the exe files but not batch file.
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
r.exec("D:\\jboss\\bin\\run.bat");
My application is server will run when we run the java appliation.
any suggestion? plz give me the solutions

yes you can run html file
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT is a built-in that is used in Forms to call URL from a Web Form. It works much like the similar way that a link on an HTML page works and it takes two arguments, one is URL and second one is TARGET, in your case use following.
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://channas.iil.informatics.lk:8890/forms/frmservlet?config=abc.html', '_blank');
Hope this will work for you

How to read a text file using Java

Guys,
Good day!
Please help me how to read a text file using Java and create/convert that text file into XML.
Thanks and God Bless.
Regards,
I-Talk

     public void fileRead(){
             File aFile =new File("myFile.txt");
         BufferedReader input = null;
         try {
           input = new BufferedReader( new FileReader(aFile) );
           String line = null;
           while (( line = input.readLine()) != null){
         catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {
           ex.printStackTrace();
         catch (IOException ex){
           ex.printStackTrace();
     }This code is to read a text file. But there is no such thing that will convert your text file to xml file. You have to have a defined XML format. Then you can read your data from text files and insert them inside your xml text. Or you may like to read xml tags from text files and insert your own data. The file format of .txt and .xml is far too different.

Running a batch file in Java. Urgent!!

I want to run a batch file present at a particular location in Java.Although I am running two codes suggested by many people, i am still not able to run the batch file. My codes run as below :-
CODE 1
Process P;
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
P = rt.exec("C:\\test.bat");
CODE 2
Process P;
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
P = rt.exec("C:\\WINNT\\System32\\cmd.exe C:\\test.bat");
I have tried both these codes but without success. But I have observed that in the Task Manager, whenever i run the above codes in a servlet, a "CMD.EXE" is being created in the "Processes" Bar each time but the batch file neither opens up nor it runs.
Please suggest me some method to run this batch file in Java.
Or if u can suggest the reason behind the above observation and any corrections i can make to run the batch file. Thanks in advance.

How to run a batch file clicking a button?

Hi All,
Can you tell me anyone how to run a batch file clicking a button? And also the progress bar showing the progress.
Arif

As said: write the insert statement like above (of course replace the databaselink, column and table names with your own) in a stored procedure and call this procedure in the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED Trigger.
As for the progress bar: how many records are you processing and how is the network connection between your database server? As above method is rather fast it might take just a few seconds and you could spare you the progress bar (this might be a little tricky to implement).
