Can i call unix shell script from B2B callout.

Hi,
We had a requirement to invoke a unix shell script from B2B callout implemented class. Here is the code in implementation class:
public void execute(CalloutContext context,List input,List output)
throws CalloutDomainException, CalloutSystemException {
try {
CalloutMessage cmIn = (CalloutMessage)input.get(0);
FileOutputStream fos = null;
String inputFile = "/home/orasoad/digitalsign/input/test.txt";
String outputFile = "/home/orasoad/digitalsign/output/test.txt.gpg";
File outFile = new File(inputFile);
String str =cmIn.getBodyAsString();
fos = new FileOutputStream(outFile);
Writer out = new OutputStreamWriter(fos);
out.write(str);
out.close();
String shellFile = "/home/orasoad/digitalsign/dg.sh";
String cmd[] = new String[] { shellFile, inputFile, outputFile };
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process pr = rt.exec(cmd);
int i = pr.waitFor();
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(pr.getInputStream()));
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
String line;
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line);
CalloutMessage cmOut = new CalloutMessage(sb.toString());
output.add(cmOut);
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new CalloutDomainException(e);
We were able to execute the unix shell script from standalone java class with same code. But some how it is not working as expected while invoking the B2B java callout.
Is it possible to invoke unix shell script from B2B callout?
Please give inputs.
Regards,

Though it's not a good idea to invoke shell scripts from java callout but technically it will work.
But some how it is not working as expected while invoking the B2B java callout.What is not working as expected? Any error in the log (server-diagnostic.log or server.out)?

Use Runtime.exec(), make sure your script is executable, and make sure it starts with something like #!/bin/sh

Invoking a shell script from JSP

I am trying to invoke a shell script from within my JSP. I need to pass a few parameters to this shell script also. The shell script then returns a string value to the JSP. Any ideas, how to acheive this? I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,

implement a method somewhere that uses Runtime.exec() internally. see here:

Invoking a bash shell script from Java code

Hi All
I am trying to invoke a Bash shell script using java code. The arguments required are "source wmGenPatch <source dir> <destination dir> no_reverse.
in the code I have specified the arguments considering the cannonical paths of the files as the code may run on Unix or windows platform.
I am getting a error while invoking Runtime.getRuntime().exec(args). The error is as follows :
"The Error Occurred is: CreateProcess: source D:\Package4.0\workspace\DiffEngineScripts\v4a02\wmGenPatch D:\Package4.0\workspace\fromImageFilesDir\ D:\Package4.0\workspace\toImageFilesDir\ no_reverse error=2"
It seems that error=2 indicates that the 'file not found' exception. But i can see the directories referred to in the error at place in the workspace.
Kindly advice.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All
I am pretty new to invoking bash shell scripts from java and not sure if i am progressing in right direction.
The piece of code tried by me is as follows
try {
               currentDir = f.getCanonicalPath();
          } catch (IOException e) {
          if (currentDir.contains("/")) {
               separator = "/";
          } else {
               separator = "\\";
          String args[] = new String[7];
          args[0] = "/bin/sh";
          args[1] = "-c";
          args[2] = "source";
          args[3] = currentDir + separator + "DiffEngineScripts" + separator
                    + "v4a02" + separator + "wmGenPatch";
          args[4] = sourceFileAdd;
          args[5] = destFileAdd;
          if (isReverseDeltaRequired) {
               args[6] = "reverse";
          } else {
               args[6] = "no_reverse";
          try {
               Process xyz = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(args);
               InputStream result = xyz.getInputStream();
               InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(result);
               BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
               String line = null;
               while ( (line = br.readLine()) != null)
                    System.out.println(line);
               int exitVal = xyz.waitFor();
               System.out.println("Leaving Testrun.java");
          } catch (Throwable t) {
               t.printStackTrace();
and on running the same i am getting Java.io.IOException with the stack trace
java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: \bin\sh -c source D:\Package4.0\workspace\DiffEngineScripts\v4a02\wmGenPatch D:\Package4.0\workspace\fromImageFilesDir\ D:\Package4.0\workspace\toImageFilesDir\ no_reverse error=3
kindly advice
Thanks in advance

Sending arguments to shell script from Java program

Hi,
I am invoking a shell script within a Java program by runtime command.But I need to pass a variable to the shell script from the Java program!!!
Please help me!!!
Thanks!!!

You can set environment variables as the second argument to Runtime.exec(). You can pass argument on the command line. So, what sort of argument do you want to pass?

Call a UNIX shell script from an oracle stored procedure

We need to call a UNIX shell script from an oracle stored procedure
i.e. the control should come back to the procedure once the script completes. Can any body help to achieve this ?

There are various ways in achieving this.
For Example, you can call a PRO*C-Library residing on the database server.
This requires a PL/SQL library to be generated and some changes to the Listener configuration.
It is also possible to implement a java procedure on the database being invoked by a PL/SQL wrapper class.
In this way (and if used right) there is also granularity regarding the filestructure permissions given and it may be called during a Forms or other PL/SQL session.
The article below explains a more generic approach how to invoke shell commands from within an Oracle Instance.
Be careful with this, because it really works ;)

Call a shell script from ActiveSync form?

Hi,
I need to call a shell script from an ActiveSync form . How can I do this.
I want to execute shell script at time of account create, update, delete.

I would probably accomplish this by calling the shell script via java, and invoking the java code via xpress code in your ActiveSync form.
