Java API Calls for command line operations

Question

I would like to use the command line operations programmatically from Java, or PL/SQL.
I would like to parse a XML file. From DOS Command line I can issue a ifsput test.xml and I can have the file parsed and stored in the database.
Can I do the same thing programmatically using java or plsql from database.
Thanks

The following code allows you to parse an XML file. In this case it parses a string containing a SimpleUserDefinition.
package ifs.demo.common.users;
import oracle.ifs.beans.*;
import oracle.ifs.beans.parsers.Parser;
import oracle.ifs.beans.parsers.SimpleXmlParser;
import oracle.ifs.common.*;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.StringReader;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import ifs.demo.vcard.type.Vcard;
import ifs.demo.vcard.parser.VcardParser;
import java.util.Locale;
import java.util.Hashtable;
public class UserCreator extends Object {
private static LibrarySession getConnection(String user,String password,String serviceName, String schemaPassword)
throws IfsException
LibraryService service = new LibraryService();
CleartextCredential me = new CleartextCredential(user,password);
ConnectOptions connect = new ConnectOptions();
connect.setLocale(Locale.getDefault());
connect.setServiceName(serviceName);
connect.setServicePassword(schemaPassword);
return service.connect(me,connect);
private static void createUser(LibrarySession ifs)
throws IfsException
String simpleUserString = "<?xml version = '1.0' standalone = 'yes'?>\n"
+ "<SimpleUser>\n"
+ " <UserName>TestUser2</UserName>\n"
+ " <Password>ifs</Password>\n"
+ " <HomeFolderRoot>/home</HomeFolderRoot>\n"
+ "</SimpleUser>\n";
StringReader userDefinition = new StringReader(simpleUserString);
SimpleXmlParser xmlParser = new SimpleXmlParser(ifs);
xmlParser.parse(userDefinition,null,null);
public static void main(String[] args)
try {
LibrarySession ifs = getConnection("system","manager","IfsDefault","manager");
ifs.setAdministrationMode(true);
createUser(ifs);
} catch (IfsException e) {
IfsException.setVerboseMessage(true);
e.printStackTrace();
Note that you ask about doing this from the database. If you mean that you want to run this code from inside the database the answer is not supported in 1.1. What you would need to do is use Oracle Advanced QUeuing to send a message, containing the XML to a process running outside the database and have that process connect to iFS and perform the parsing.
