How to run different programs and use their output in other programs

Dear java members,
I am trying to figure out how to get data from a file, database, or program and use that information in another
program. Can you help please?
I have looked through several texts and while the information is there somewhere I have not found the specific
capabilities or examples that explain how to do this.
I want to learn how to do this with objects.
The specific applications I am working with are the GIS (Geographic Information System) suite of ESRI products
such as ArcInfo and ArcView.
I am working with simulators for hydrologeology (ground water) and other geophysical phenomenae. Programs for
decisions and assessment of probability such as found in geostatistical analyses packages. Drawing programs
and data manipulation programs such as spreadsheets in windows and scripting languages found in most Unix
packages.
I want to be proprietary platform free! I want to be accessing apps and or data wherever they are and in
whichever form they are in or best used.
Web techniques and protocols are where I think most of my effort will be focused.
One of the mediums (media) that I expect to use a lot is XML.
If I can find a simplified (generalized) explanation how this is done and how the parts fit together through and or
with objects. If I can find references to texts and examples I will be very appreciative and very much less
confused.
I am interested in using the Java programming language.
Thank you

Hello ctavares1,
I am not quite sure that I understand what you are trying to do. The programs that you mention: ArcInfo and ArcView, are they stand alone, native, platform dependent applications? Or are they written in Java? It sounds like there are stand alone, native, platform dependent applications, that write their output to either a file or a database.
The other piece that is puzzling me is: Do you intend to write an Applet or a Java Application? This is important because Java places several restrictions on what an Applet can do.
There is also the question of how the data is produced. Is it produced all at once in batch or is it produced a little at a time in real time?
These and other questions will need to be answered before you can begin designing your application. There are many tutorials dealing with opening a file or database and manipulating that data from an Applet or a Java Application, but it is a different matter all together getting data from an application.
Here are a few tutorials on File I/O and JDBC:

Hello Tavares,
What you seek can be done, but before that you must know from where you want to take the data. In what form you will get the data in and where you want to use it and how.
Your problem is what we call an architectural issue. If possible please write to me at [email protected]
With the above information - I shall be able to help you to some extent.

Even if i do not open firefox i can be running another program and firefox repeatedly minimizes my other program and opens up search tabs. how do i get it to stop

i play an online game called perfect world. for some reason i can be in the middle of a game and firefox will minimize my game and open up tabs even if i am not doing anything with firefox. how can i fix this. it is really getting annoying

Try a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder and desktop shortcut before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 23.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

Running programs and grabbing their output

I'm kinda confused. I want to run command.com from java and be able to capture its output and print it somewhere else, as well as insert my own input through another medium (ie. JTextField). I know i can use runtime to execute it, and then use process to get the output stream and input stream, but when i get the output stream, it returns it as an output stream, which would mean i couldnt actually read what the program was outputting, i could only write to it, which doesnt make sense at all. Will somebody please explain to me what i'm doing wrong, or if i dont have it wrong, please explain to me how to do what i want to do.
Thank you

The above posts seem to be right:
// Get the runtime. Replace 'this' with what you want from
Runtime rt = this.getRuntime();
// Intialize a variable for recieving the output
byte b[] = new byte[10000];
// Get a stream to recieve the output
InputStream outputOfRT = rt.getRuntime();
// Read the output. Use a better read() logic to all the stuff
read(b);
// Manipulate the b for what you want

How to make different users to use different Plan_Tables?

How to make different users to use different Plan_Tables?
I want each user use his own's Plan_Table. How to achieve this goal?

I want each user use his own's Plan_Table. How to achieve this goal?Which version of Oracle - if you're on 10g or later you are already (effectively) doing this.
If not, then copy the 10g strategy back to your version; in outline:
<ul>
drop all existing plan tables
create a table (but call it plan_table$) in the SYS schema (you may prefer to use SYSTEM) as a global temporary table on commit preserve rows
create a public synonym plan_table for plan_table$
grant select insert update delete on plan_table to public
</ul>
Look in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catplan.sql in a 10g version of Oracle to check how it's done.
Each user gets a private (temporary) table in their temporary tablespace whenever they use the plan_table
Their private data disappears when there session ends.

How to reset All users and delete their table?

Hi,
i want to know How to reset All users and delete their tables with username- system and password-manager.
thanks

Hi
Here delete means truncate or drop?????
If drop use the following statement to generate the script:
select 'drop table ' || Owner || '.' || Table_Name || ';' from Dba_tables
where owner in (<All_the_users_you_want_to_reset>);
But before firing the above statement extract the DDL's to create all the users and put it in a file and just run that file to re-create the users.
if its truncate then:
select 'truncate table ' || Owner || '.' || Table_Name || ';' from Dba_tables
where owner in (<All_the_users_you_want_to_reset>);
Hope this Helps

How to run a remote application (Non Java) from a Java program

Could you please tell me how to run a remote application (Non-Java) from a Java program without using RMI. Please tell me know the procedure and classes to be used.
Cheers
Ram

what do you mean remote application.In the other pc or in your pc just apart from you application?
If the application is in your pc,the method which the upper has mentioned is
a good one!
But if the application you want to run is not in your computer,the method can't do. And you can use socket with which you can build an application listening some port in the pc which contains the application you want to run .When you want to run that application ,send the Start_Command to the listening application.Then listening application will run the application with the help of the method the upper mentioned.

How to run report from form using run_object_report

I AM USNING FORMS9I/REPORTS 9I , HOW TO RUN REPORT FROM FROM USING RUN_REPORT_OBJECT AND HOW
TO PASS PARAMETER AS WE DID IN RUN_REPORTS PLEASE HELP ME

here an example !
I hope this example you can use it
PROCEDURE pr_reporte IS
BEGIN
DECLARE
     repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status Varchar2(20);
d1 DATE;
d2 DATE;
BEGIN
     d1 := :GLOBAL.DIA_INI;
     d2 := :GLOBAL.DIA_FIN;
     repid := find_report_object('rep_lab02');
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'p_fec_uno='||to_char((add_months(last_day(d1),-1) +1),'DD/MM/YYYY')||' '||
     'p_fec_dos='||to_char(d2,'DD/MM/YYYY'));
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'pdf');
     v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
     rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
     WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED') LOOP
          rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
     END LOOP;
     IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' then
          WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=repserver','_blank');
     ELSE
          ventana('E','error reporte no encontrado','S');
     END IF;
END;
END;
The 'rep_lab02' is the name of the report that you give in the node reports
p_fec_uno and p_fec_dos they are the parameters in the report
repserver is the name of server created with rwserver

Hello ! how to change document sizes and use our own size (not A3, A2 ...) thank you !

hello ! how to change document sizes and use our own size (not A3, A2 ...) thank you !

Experiment. No harm in trying.
If you are just starting to use Pages you need to make your own assessment given current events whether committing your work to a format and software given this support is a wise move.
You also need to look at what will produce workable results. Particularly if your large posters are to be commercially printed and contain large bitmap (photographic) images.
Always work backwards from your output. Ask your printer what they require to do their job.

After closing Firefox to use IE8 or any other program, everything is very choppy and slow. I have to go into Taskbar, Processes, and close firefox.exe manually (which is using up all the memory/CPU). Then, and only then, does everything behave normally. W

After closing Firefox to use IE8 or any other program (like InterVideo to watch a DVD), everything is very choppy and slow. I have to go into Taskbar, Processes, and close firefox.exe manually (which is using up all the memory/CPU and should have closed before). Then, and only then, does everything behave normally. What is going on and what am I doing wrong or missing??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about a couple months ago and happens every time I close Firefox.

'''Kill Application'''
In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the '''Processes''' tab?

'''[[Firefox hangs]]'''
'''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hang_at_exit Firefox hangs at exit (Mozillazine article)]'''
'''[[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]'''
'''Safe Mode'''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox SafeMode is a diagnostic mode that disables extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes before starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

I've done some research on the SQLite database. Whenever Aperture hangs up (like during auto-stack or opening the filter hud) there are thousands of SQLite queries happening. These SQLite queries cause massive file I/O because the database is stored on the disk as 1kb pages. However, the OS is caching the database file; mine's only 12MB. I'm trying to track down some performance numbers for SQLite on osx but having trouble.
It's starting to look like most of the speed problems are in the libraries that Aperture uses instead of the actual Aperture code. Of course, that doesn't completely let the developers off the hook since they choose to use them in the first place.
Oh, and if anyone is curious, the database is completely open to queries using the command line sqlite3 tool. Here's the language reference http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html
Hmm, just found this. Looks like someone else has been playing around in the db http://www.majid.info/mylos/stories/2005/12/01/apertureInternals.html
