How to run a vi from Java application?

I am passing data to a vi from my java swing application using data socket bean but I have to manually open and run the vi. How can I programatically open and run the vi from my java application without using ActiveX automation server?

I don't know Java but if you can issue a shell command then you can run the VI with the command line:
"\labview.exe" ""
You have to set the VI to "Run when opened". The VI will run each time the command is issued, even if the VI is already opened.

Running exe files from java applications

Hello All,
Is it possible to run executable files from java applications?

HI,
I tried to launch a MS Word application using runtime.exec but it gives me some problem
The foll. code to launch a txt file using notepad works.
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
String[] callAndArgs = {"notepad.exe","C:\\coo7\\wizard.txt"};
Process child = rt.exec(callAndArgs);
However, oif I try to launch a MS Word application, it asks for the entire path of WINWORD.exe, (unlike just specifying notepad.exe as the first argument in String[] callAndArgs) and this can vary from one machine to another.. how do I get around this?
The foll. code snippet works but the complete path of where WINWORD.exe might be installed on any machine, is not fixed:-(
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
String[] callAndArgs = {"C:\\Program Files\\Office\\Office10\\WINWORD.exe","C:\\coo7\\wizard.doc"};
Process child = rt.exec(callAndArgs);
Any idea/suggestions pls..

Running a script from java application

How do I execute a script (sms_setver which requires parameters such ms9qa) from java application using Runtime.exec(). I tried Runtime.getRuntime().exec("sms_setver ms9qa"). But, I get this error:
Caught: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: sms_setver ms9qa error=2

Same way it is actually run from a console command line.
If you are doing this in windows then it might be using the extension to determine how to run it. If from unix then it might be using the shebang line.
At any rate figure it out and use that instead. Usually it involves either explicitly using the shell or some other executable and the script is a parameter to that process.

How to Run a Hello World Java application on WIndows Mobile

Hi!
We have a sample Plug-in environment Java application downloaded from http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-ecl-ercp/index.html - IBM library.
We have downloaded the source files org.eclipse.testworkbenchapp_1.0.0.jar and tried running the application on desktop PC, this worked fine.
We are using Eclipse 3.2 to run this Java application on Desktop.
Now, we are trying to run the same application on Intermec Windows Mobile 5.0 device.
1. The device has IBM J9 ? WebSphere MicroEnvironment MIDP 2.0 for Windows Mobile2003 installed in it.
2. On installing this on Windows Mobile, in Start ? Programs ? we find MIDlet HQ - on launching this, opens a window with Install button.
3. On Click on Install button, another window opens which asks for URL to install.
4. In the URL Edit box, I give file:////Org.Eclipse.testWorkbenchapp.feature_1.0.0.jar which is present in \MyDocuments\Update site folder copied from desktop workspace via Active sync ? As mentioned in the above IBM library site.
5. I have also tried file:////MyDocuments\Updatesite\Org.Eclipse.testWorkbenchapp.feature_1.0.0.jar as input to URL.
6. On click OK, I get an error titled AMS Error with description The application descriptor was missing the required MIDlet Name field.
I am held up here and not able to move further.
As mentioned in the above IBM library site I tried downloading the update site folder via Eclipse ? Software Updates ? Find and Install in Help menu.
I selected Search for new features to install and browsed the Update site folder location present in my Eclipse workspace. This also does not work.
Any help in this regard in greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I would ask such questions in the J2ME forums, or even better in a websphere forum, like here:

Crikey! You were answered very shortly after you posted your question, and you STILL haven't bothered to come back. And are you going to create a new userid the next time you ask a question, since bat2004 seems tied to this particular question?

How to run system commands from JAVA

Hi Friends,
How to run windows system commands from JAVA
Runtime r=Runtime.getRuntime();

Throwing following Exception
CreateProcess :dir error=2
Thanks in advance
Hamsa

Hi ,
in Windows NT this is not possible, you can use the following :
Runtime r=Runtime.getRuntime();
StringBuffer sbuf = new StringBuffer();
String dir = new String();
java.lang.Process proc = r.exec("cmd /c dir");
InputStream is = proc.getInputStream();
int ch ;
while((ch=is.read() ) != -1)
sbuf.append((char)ch);
is.close();
dir = sbuf.toString();
System.out.println(dir );
