Is it possible to execute OS level commands through Oracle APEX?
Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to execute OS level commands, say executing any command in command prompt using Oracle APEX.
Thanks!
Welcome to Oracle Forums!
Please acquaint yourself with the FAQ and forum etiquette if you haven't already done so.
Always state
<ul>
<li>Apex Version</li>
<li>DB Version and edition</li>
<li>Web server used.I.e. EPG, OHS, ApexListner Standalone or with J2EE container</li>
<li>When asking about forms always state tabular form if it is a tabular form</li>
<li>When asking about reports always state Classic / IR</li>
<li>Always post code snippets enclosed in a pair of {code} tags as explained in FAQ</li>
</ul>
I would like to know if it is possible to execute OS level commands, say executing any command in command prompt using Oracle APEX.If by OS you are referring to the client side, then NO.
Cheers,

Executing a linux command through flash lite
Hello All,
i want to know one thing.. : is it possible to execute a linux command through flash lite?
I mean, say, in linux at the command prompt if i want to change the date and time then i will execute command date 082110452009.00 to set
21 August 2009, 11:45:00 .. i want to do this through actionscript2.. first i wil provide a UI asking the user to set date, time, year.. once he clicks OK i want to execute the above command with the user input..
This is because currently i m running this application on an embedded linux device which doesn't have a real time clock.. i mean once i switch off and ON the device the date and time will set back to default value 01 Jan 1970 as it happens in linux..
any suggestions?get the the inputStream of the runtime object after executing the command.
now use the readLine() function until it becomes null.
egs: with reference to ur code.
InputStream is=p.getInputStream()
while(is!=null)
String s=is.readLine();
if the command don't execute try giving the full path also like /sbin/ls -l -
How execute pl/sql command from Oracle ADF Business Components
can't find examples for how execute pl/sql command from Oracle ADF Business Components and how call pl/sql package procedure from ADF Business Components.
insert,update,delete rows in view object instance cache is good but if i must do some complex operations while insert,update,delete rows..it's more better for me to call
pl/sql procedure from oracle db.Am i wrong ????Roman,
this should be similar to how it worked in JDeveloper 9.0.3. hava a look at <JDev903 Home>\BC4J\samples\StoredProc for a code example.

Executing sudo linux commands through a JSP page.
Hi,
I need to execute some superuser commands through a JSP page under Linux.
I added users apache and tomcat to the /etc/sudoers file with no password prompting.
My JSP page works fine with any usual linux command, but when I call a sudo cmd I have a message (when reading the ErrorStream instead of the InputStream) that sudo cant be executed because it needs a tty even when I call the shell before the sudo command.
Here is a piece of my code (very basic):
String cmd="linux_cmd";
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
InputStream stdin = proc.getInputStream();
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(stdin);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
String line = null;
while ( (line = br.readLine()) != null)
out.println(line);
Is there any way I can make sudo calls from a JSP page ?
I know that making root calls from a web application is a bad thing, but for now security is not my concern.
Thank you for any tips.JavaFan2 wrote:
In fact, I help supervising a student project who is supposed to write an admin application to offert graphical interfaces for some security and system tools under Linux (like fdisk, iptables etc) using J2EE, ... something like Webmin.
As I said, I know that is has a huge security risk but this app has the only purpose of learning J2EE, no security issues are treated.If you want to say "I will leave my office door open because there's no security risk in doing that" then that's a valid statement. But what you are trying to do here isn't the equivalent of leaving your office door open. It's the equivalent of finding a master key for all the offices in the world. And as such it is in fact a serious security risk which should not be circumvented.
And no, it's no good saying "But I'm only going to use this all-powerful master key to open my own office door". If you get the key then anybody else can get the key too. -

Accessing OS level commands through Java?
Hello everyone,
Is it possible to access OS-level (Unix BSD for instance) commands through Java classes or methods?
"OS-level commands" refers strictly to Unix commands such as I/O CTL (control), Poll and Select through a file descriptor.
"Access" refers to legitimate, built-in OR illegitimate (forced by "fooling" the system) access.However, the calls that you refer to, have been implemented in java; that goes for read/write/select (java.io and java.nio). But they pass through the java api implementation, and then throught the native implementation inside the JVM. If you want to use the raw power of poll() through java, you'd have to implement it yourself in JNI. But even if you successfully implement that, you must always remember that you'd have to make corresponding java classes that serve as arguments to your call, which, inside C, you must unpack again - so there goes your speed-advantage out the window.

How to execute MS DOS command through Java program???
Dear Sir,
I want to run a MS-DOS command through my Java program. I have tried "Dir" command but no other command which takes command line args doesn't work at all. Please help.
import java.io.*;
class CommandPrompt
public static void main(String[] args)
try
File file = new File("C:/Temp/Java");
String[] cmd = {"command.com","/c","md folder"};
String[] envp = {""};
Process m;
String s = "";
m = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd,null,file);
BufferedReader buf = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(m.getInputStream()));
while ((s = buf.readLine())!=null)
System.out.println(s);
catch (Exception ex)
System.out.println("Exception is "+ex);
ex.printStackTrace();1. This forum is for Swing-related issues only. This question should be posted to the "Java Programming" forum.
2. Please enclose your sample code in code blocks; it's much easier to read that way. See here for how it's done: http://forum.java.sun.com/faq.jsp#messageformat
3. Please provide more information, like what error messages you got and what OS you're running. For instance, if you're running WinXP, Win2k or NT4, your command processor should be "cmd.exe", not "command.com". When I made that change, your program worked for me. -
Can't execute OS-level command from java stored proc
I've written a couple simple java stored procs, the first of which writes an file and the second attempts a chown on it. I can write the file (which is written as the oracle user) just fine. I need to chown it, but can't. Here's the first proc:
public static String writefile()
String fileName = "/joetest/test.xml";
try {
File f = new File(fileName);
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(f);
PrintStream p = new PrintStream(out);
p.println("this is only a test");
p.close();
return "create file successful!!!";
} catch (Exception e) {
return "Exception occurred writing file:"+e;
Here's the proc I've been stuggling with:
public static String chown(String inString)
String[] command = {"/bin/sh", "-c", "/usr/bin/chown notjoe /joetest/test.xml"};
if (inString != null) {
command[2] = inString;
try {
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
return "Ownership change success!! "+p;
} catch (Exception e) {
return "Ownership change failure?? err="+e;
The package is created with:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE JOE.THISISATEST AS
FUNCTION writefile
return VARCHAR2
AS
LANGUAGE java
NAME 'thisisatest.writefile() return java.lang.String';
FUNCTION chown(Param1 VARCHAR2)
return VARCHAR2
AS
LANGUAGE java
NAME 'thisisatest.chown(java.lang.String) return java.lang.String';
end;
And I've granted the following privileges:
begin
dbms_java.grant_permission('JOE', 'java.io.FilePermission', '/joetest/test.xml', 'read, write, execute, delete');
end;
begin
dbms_java.grant_permission('JOE', 'java.io.FilePermission', '/usr/bin/chown', 'execute');
end;
begin
dbms_java.grant_permission('JOE', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'writeFileDescriptor', '');
end;
begin
dbms_java.grant_permission('JOE', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'readFileDescriptor', '');
end;
Here's the error that I'm getting:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
Coincidentally, this is the same error that I used to get when I wrote the file without having been granted write privileges. Once I granted myself the proper 'write' permissions I could perform file IO just fine. Is there some runtime permission that I need to grant myself to run chown? I'm just guessing, as I can't find any permission like that in the java documentation. I have 'execute' permission on /usr/bin/chown and the oracle user can execute the command I'm attempting from the command line. ARRRRRGH.
I am at my wits end with this. I've tried what seems like a thousand different syntaxes for the OS command and ran it from many different directories. Anyone have any thoughts at all as to why this is happening? I'm just clutching at straws now...Hmmmm. Granting 'execute' on '<<ALL FILES>>' to user JOE fixes this problem:
begin
dbms_java.grant_permission('JOE', 'java.io.FilePermission', '<<ALL FILES>>', 'execute');
end;
My security folks will not allow this when I port to production, but at least it is something.

But it is giving the error "BAD OPTION -print|xargs". The command run well in shell.
Please help.
Thanking u.......Since the pipe '|' is interpreted by the shell then you need the shell to invoke your command
String[] command = {"sh","-c","find /tmp/reports1 -name " + "\"" + "*" + "\"" + " -mtime +" + strdaysback + " -print|xargs rm -r"};
final Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
You should also read http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html at least twice and implement the recommendation regarding stdout and stderr.
P.S. Why are you not using Java to find and delete these files?

OS level command before message processing
Hello
I am getting the files from the SFTP server through the shell script and expecting to be processed by my File sender adapter.
I have configured my File adapter which will poll the directory into which the shell script gets the file and it is scheduled at say 60 sec duration and i had configured OS level command before message processing.
But when i monitored my communication channel and also my directory I found out that its not executing the OS level command. I tried dropping the dummy file into the directory. This time when checked in comm channel monitoring, it executes the OS level command and gets the file from the SFTP server and adapter polls the SFTP file as well. But i don't want to use dummy file each time.
Is there any way by which we can always make adapter to execute OS level command. I tried various options like Process Empty files etc etc but no luck.
Thanks in advance.
regards
rajeevRajeev
How about placing a dummy file of 0 bytes, setting up the 'Handling of Empty Files = Don't create message', Processing mode = 'Test' and then writing a post operating command script as well, to move all the files to archive directory except the dummy file.
Not a clean solution but just a thought.

Hi all,
Is it possible to execute a DOS command in java? If so, how do I do that?
Also, if it is a Linux machine, may I execute a Linux command in java?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
BernardFirst, define 'command'.
You can run external programs with Runtime.exec (eg. Runtime.getRuntime().exec("notepad");) but there are a few drawbacks regarding that method.

Execute an sql command other than an select statement
hello,
is it possible to execute an sql-command other than a
select statement in a report ?
something like execute ... ?
i want ro execute a statement BEFORE the select ...
or is the one and only possible statement in a report
a "select ?"
greetings
Thorsten LorenzHi ,
You can always use the Report triggers to execute any other SQL commands . If you need to execute them before the SELECT statement of you Data Model query , then You can use the Parameter Form triggers / before Report Trigger. Be sure to put in a commit statement as well, if the result of the Select statement you intend to do depends on these SQL commands.
Thanks
