How to use .dbf files zipped into a .zip file from within a java program

i have a .zip file containing several .dbf files.
the zip file is automatically downloaded regularly and data from the .dbf files is inserted into the database.
how do i facilitate automatic extraction of a zip file or how do i fetch data from the .dbf file? (this cannot be done manually)
anu.

you could write a little polling class checking the zip file. you can use the java.util.jar package to extract the zip file (http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jar/api/index.html). you could also use Jakarta ant (http://ant.apache.org/manual/index.html) to do this job (core task "zip") and call ant's target file on a regular basis (dependend on the OS you use, you can set os tasks/schedules).

How to call up an executable file (eg. MSPaint) from within my java program

How to call up an executable file (eg. MSPaint) from within my java program

Ummm... why would you want to get MSPaint anyway? Even in the absense of real software, Java's own graphics tools are way more sophisticated - with a little time and effort, you could write a simple paint package that beat MSPaint hands down.

How to start a browser from within a java program?

I want to make a help file for my java program and want to run the browser from the menu of my program.
How can I start my browser from my program?
A small code will be helpful.
Thanks.

This should work on Windows without having to know where the browser is located. See http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javatips/jw-javatip66.html for more details

Problem with creation of a jar file from inside a java program

Hi,
I am trying to create a jar file at runtime from within a java program.
I am able to create a jar file just fine using:
String[] jarArgs = new String[3];
jarArgs[0] = "cvf";
jarArgs[1] = "C:\temp\myjar.jar";
jarArgs[2] = "C:\temp\this";
sun.tools.jar.Main main1 = new sun.tools.jar.Main(System.out, System.err, "jar");
main1.run(jarArgs);However, when I look at the jar it puts the absolute path to the files inside such as:
C:\temp\this\is\my\package\Class.class
instead of only this\is\my\package\Class.class
When running the jar command from the command line it works just fine and I have the relative paths in my jar file.
Does anyone have any experience with this and could help me out?
Thanks in advance
Edited by: mruf on Apr 11, 2008 1:51 AM

Shouldn't jarArgs[2] = "-C C:\temp\this"

How to run java programs from a master java program?

Hello,
I have several java programs which run from the command prompt. I am seeking help with code for starting java programs from within a java program. For example, a program called master.java works something like this:
import java.*;
create connection pool
create variables and result sets
start/run slave1.java (var1, var2);
start/run slave2.java (var3, var4, var5);
start/run slave3.java (var1, var4);
end of program master.java
Each of the slave.java programs will run for up to an hour. I do not want the master.java program to pause for each slave program to stop. Instead, the master program will keep running and multiple slave programs will be running simultaneously with the master program. When a slave program starts, it is on its own. Also, if possible, I would like to have each of these slave.java programs open in a new separate command window, so I can observe each slave program running in separate windows.
Any suggestions for code or helpful documentation are greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Logan

Thank you all.
At the bottom of master.java I have successfully started a batch file with these lines:
String jcmd = "cmd.exe /c start c:/data/simulations/MsgViewCount2.bat";
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(jcmd);
But I still cannot get a java program to start. Here is one variation I have tried:
String [] cmdArray = new String[2];
cmdArray[0] = "java";
cmdArray[1] = "slave1";
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process process = runtime.exec(cmdArray);
This compiles, and no errors occur, but nothing happens.
Regarding this comment:
Why Runtime.exec? Either make the slaves Runnable or
just call their main() methods.
Oh, I see. Sepearate output. :PNone of the slave.java programs have any output.
Thanks again.

How to execute a Perl program from within a Java prog

How do I execute a Perl program from within a Java program.
Lets say the Perl program that I want to execute is 'abc'. Now, 'abc' requires some input that I want to give it from within the Java program. How do I do it?
And finally, how do I execute that Perl program from within the Java program.
If I execute the Perl program alone then I do it in the following way -
perl abc inp1 inp2 inp3
where inp1, inp2, inp3 are inputs to the Perl program. I will not be able to change or modify the coding of the Perl program - 'abc' as I do not have access to its code. Its a kind of an application whose usual method of execution is in the above shown way. So, how do I execute 'abc' from within a Java program.

what part of don't crosspost, don't you understand?

How to output a query results into a text file

How to output a query results into a text file instead of outputing it to the screen..
is there a way for us to write a SQL query which specifies to output the query results to a text file.
Pls let me know how to do it
Thanking u in advance
regards
Muraly

Muraly,
If you are using SQL*Plus 8.1.6 or later, you can also spool output to a file in HTML format, eg
SET MARKUP HTML ON SPOOL ON PREFORMAT OFF ENTMAP ON
SPOOL c:\temp\report.html
SELECT DEPARTMENT_NAME, CITY
FROM EMP_DETAILS_VIEW
WHERE SALARY>12000;
SPOOL OFF
SET MARKUP HTML ENTMAP OFF
In iSQL*Plus 9.0.1 (the browser-based interface to SQL*Plus) onwards, you can also send the HTML output to a new web browser window, or an html file -- much easier than the command line method.

Hi Jack,
What version of Acrobat are you using?
You might need to go to File> Save As Other> Microsoft Word or choose 'Adobe PDF printer' from the File menu.

How to include several PDF documents into just one file?

I have a Word document with 6 pages that I saved in PDF.
I wanted to transform the entire document in JPEG (JPG) immage, so that I could use it in other tools, such as Facebook for example.

Can you give me s solution or hint?

Thank you!
I already saved all pages as .pdf w/ Acrobat and have all 6 pages saved in
.jpg, using Photoshop.
Problem is that I want to post the whole text in my Facebook page, and to
have it in six pieces is not quite readable...
Thanks anyway and have a joyful Xmas!

How to use runtime.exe to activate the native file coping commands

How to use runtime.exe to activate the native file coping commands.(It might include using process(), and such.. but how?

Why would you want to do this? It's harder than copying the file in Java (by reading the file and writing it to a new file) and you'll need to write new code each time you want to port your code to a new OS.
