JNI: Reading Java output from console window

Hi!
Sorry if this is wrong place to put this topic, but I didn't know where to put it, so now it's here.
I'm trying to make a launcher program with C++ which would start my java program. I'm using "env->CallStaticVoidMethod (romexisClass, mid, args);" and it works perfectly. But I'd like to read the text which my java program outputs to the console window and save it into a text file. Is this possible and how? It looks like I stdout etc. won't work.
Or as other option I could use some Java Exe Wrapper, but I haven't found any which would allow passing arguments to the main() without -D option and I need to be able to read those arguments from a .ini-file. It should be a subtitute for the following command "java -Xss$var1k -Xms$var2m -classpath $var3 test.program host=$var4" in which I'd read $vars from a .ini-file.
Thx,
Lassi

Maybe this will do the job:

Please note that I cannot seee the output from wndows command : del *.* and the java class execution does not finished.
I I will replace the above command with the dir command then the output of the command is visible.
Would you give me a hint about how to modify the above clases in order to parse the output of the del *.* ?
Please note that the above example is important because I am developping a tool and it is mandatory for that tool to parse the output from a windows batch command.
Best regards,

Please note that I cannot seee the output from wndows command : del *.* and the java class execution does not finished.

Would you give me a hint about how to modify the above clases in order to parse the output of the del *.* ?
No - but I will give you a hint about ProcessBuilder and how to develop software properly.
Hint #1: Don't try to automate something that you don't know, or understand, how to do manually.
a. Do you know how to execute 'del *.*' manually in a command window?
b. Did you try that manually to see what happens?
My guess is 'no'. If you had you would know that the response to a 'del *.*' command is going to be this:
Are you sure (Y/N)?
And your 'java class execution' doesn't finish because the 'del' command is waiting for you to answer that question.
Hint #2: Don't try to use ProcessBuilder for an application that requires console input unless you first know how to provide that console input via your Java code.
Your code will wait forever since it does NOT answer that question.
Search the net and The Java Tutorials and you can find examples of executing command line utilities. Then try those examples first and make sure that:
1. They work for you
2. You understand HOW they work
Then you can modify those examples to do what you want to do.

Can anyone help me understand this output from Console?

Reading the output from another program.

I haven't used Java in a good long while so I need someone to point me in the right direction. I have a C program that I call from a command line (windoze boxen) and it spits out some neat data. I can call it from inside a Java program, but how do I then read the output from the calling Java program? I'd just alter the C program, but I lost the source.

This article explains how to correctly execute another program from your
Java program, and read its output:

Reading the output from a object running in the local machine.

Reading the output from a object running in the local machine.
By using a signed applet i am lunching a small application that returns an image object, how to read that without storing it in the hard disk.
Which means i need to read the image object return by the local application using applet or jsp .
i am using tomacat and an html page with an applet with it to lunch the application.

You can write that image in a binary format using OutputStream for System.out and then read it in your applet.

JNI, run Java methodes from C++

I'm trying to understand the JNI for a while, but can't realy figure out how to run a java methode from a C++ code.
(I've managed to do the oposit; run a C++ methode from Java, but that is not what I need.)
The thing is that I have a C++ program wich outputs a jpg picture. And I have a Java program wich is using this picture. (Picture size is from 2 - 4KB)
My temparary (not good) solution for making the picture available for the java code is to have the C program save it to a file, and then make the java program read the file once in a while.
What I would like is to have the C++ to call the methode updatePicture(byte[] newJPEG) in my javacode. How do I do this?
Parts of the C++ sourcecode:
void CExCameraView::OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent){
static int timercount=0;
     CExCameraDoc* pDoc = GetDocument();
     timercount+=pDoc->mycameraconfig->RefreshInterval ;
     if (timercount<pDoc->mycameraconfig->LoadOverHeads )
          return;
     else
          timercount=pDoc->mycameraconfig->LoadOverHeads;
     ASSERT_VALID(pDoc);
//grab one image and save it to a jpeg file
// here I'd like to call the java updatePicture methode (not save as file)
     pDoc->GrabSaveNext(pDoc->myconfig->cmsTimeOut);
And parts of the java code:
class ImageHandler {
JpegImage jpegImage; // class JpegImage extends Image
public ImageHandler() {
jpegImage = new jpegImage();
setParameters();
public updatePicture(byte[] newJPEG) {
setImage(newJPEG);
// lots of other methods

Well, you seem to be defining a C program with some imbedded java, or a java program with some native C methods. So which is it?
o If it is a C program, then you have two things to do (with respect to java):
- Start a java JVM.
- During your processing, periodically call into your JVM to process data made available by your C program.
o If it is a java program, then what you want to do -- I guess - is call a native method to start up an asynchronous (C) process, then have that asynchronous
process periodically call back into java to process results.
Overview of JNI (which you need to flesh out with some further study):
o There is the socalled invocation API, which is used to get java started.
o There is the definition of java native methods, which are then implemented in a C library (DLL on Windows), which library is loaded up at runtime by the java program, allowing the native methods to be called.
o There are JNI methods available from C that allow you to look up objects and methods, and invoke those java methods.

Get output from dos window to jtextarea/textarea

hi
i am executing the following lines of code:
1)Runtime r=Runtime.getRuntime();
Process p=r.exec("javac <filename.java>");
when executing this there is no exception fired but i am not being able
to get the output from the ods console to a textarea
or for that matter i donot get any output anywhere
2)if i change it to
Process p=r.exec("java <filename");
similar thing happens i.e no output
can anyone plz help
thanx.

Sorry, this < was the wong way around
Process p=r.exec("java filename >test.txt")
Then read in data from test.txt, something like this should do it :))   public String getTextFile(String text) throws Exception{
      int reader = 0;
      text = "";
      FileReader in = new FileReader("test.txt");

Open dtpad from console window

I deal with several servers running Solaris 9 & 10. I work with these both locally and using Go Global. When I connect using Go Global with user name nmc, I can open text files from the console window for editing. However, if i login locally or do su - nmc during the Go Global session, i get the error dtpad not found. The environment variables are quite different between the nmc user during a Go Global session and the same user during a local login. To complicate matters further, most of the text files I need to edit are owned by the root user. I cannot use dtpad in any case with the root user.
Idealy, I would like to approach this within the console window and not permanently change any profiles. I thought it was due to the PATH variable not referencing /usr/dt/bin but when I used export PATH=$PATH:/usr/dt/bin and tried to open dtpad, i got the error indicating that the display could not open.

i got the error indicating that the display could not open.This is because either the DISPLAY variable was not set or the display was not open for your su'd to user to access it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try:
ssh -X nmc@localhost
Then
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/dt/bin
This is guarenteed to work; because the .profile setup on nmc might be a problem, as could certain ssh settings ... but worth a quick try.
(Please note this is slightly simpliflied and sometimes i misunderstand things and give stupid adice, but I suggest above is worth a quick try).
Also
echo "My display is: [ $DISPLAY ]"
can be useful diagnostic.
Good Luck,

Reading Java files from a EAR file

I want to read all Java files from a EAR file and from inner (inside EAR) EAR or WAR file with out unpacking.
suppose "Demo.ear" contaions the following files:
abc.java
programs / a.java
programs / b.java
src / index.java
src / com / myFolder / main.java
src.war
and suppose "src.war" again contains some java files inside differenet folders.
The main problem is that i can read all java files from "Demo.ear" but unable to reading from "src.war" b'coz my program is using JarFile class constructor which needs a archive file path, So only top level archive having the path but not the inner archives.
So, pls help me out to this problems
Thanks in advance

Maybe you can use java.util.zip.ZipInputStream to
open the Ear and recursively to open the files in
it; I'm not sure whether this will result in a full
unpacking of the file in some temporary directory,
though.
Please let me know if it worked the way you wanted,
I'm curious about it.This jerk just created the third thread about the same topic, because he didn't understand your suggestion, which I already provided earlier.

Hello ejp,
First of all i thank you for the reply.
I explain the process which i am doing in side the thread.
After connecting to the remote machine, it asks another password.
so i read the output after connecting. if it equals "password:", then write the 2nd password. then i read the output. it will be like "system>" . if this prompt comes like this, then i write the super user name and super user password. then the prompt will be like "system#". then i write the command which i need to execute and read the output whether the command is success or not.
So after every output read, i interrupt the thread using interrupt() method. its working fine if i execute via GUI ie, click the button. But its not working when i scheduled this job in a scheduler ie, it will be executed when the time elapsed.
Give an idea to fix this bug please.

How do you uninstall JAVA 7 from a Windows 7 machine?

Hi,
I am going to raise a easy question to the eye. I have been running into machines that have been upgraded to JAVA 7 on a Windows 7 machine. I have been yet to remove it. When I uninstall JAVA, it leaves behind a broken icon in the control panel. when I reboot and install another version of JAVA it says: "Application Not Found".
RevoUninstall will not even get rid of this JAVA 7. Any ideas?
This happens on EVERY Windows 7 machine with JAVA 7 installed. It just will not come off, and has to be re-imaged.

Hello,
How many machines is 'EVERY machine'? Is this a single computer and Windows has been reinstalled? Are there multiple independent computers? Is it a vanilla Windows 7 that is installed or is this an image created by a Desktop System Administrator that as been configured? Are any errors seen during the uninstall?
Uninstalls processes can fail for a number of reasons; including, files are in use, permission issues, corrupted registry entries, file/directory changes made post install.
These may help:

How to call Java methods from a Windows application?

Hello all,
At our company, we need to integrate our product which is a Java Swing application with a Windows application. Specifically, we are trying to call Java methods that reside in our application from the Lotus Notes email client application, which is a native Windows application. Such that when a user clicks a button in the Lotus Notes email client, it will trigger an event in our Swing application. Is this possible using JNI? Do you know of any resources or references relating to this kind of a project?
Thanks,
Mete Kural

If there is some dll interface that lets Lotus Notes load up and use a DLL, then yes, this should be possible.

Reading The Output From A POST To A Webserver

Any suggestions on the following would be greatly appreciated!! From all examples, what I'm doing is correct, but I can't get the results of the Post.
I am trying to do the following:
1. Connect to a webserver through a URL object.
2. POST a user name and password to a login screen.
3. Read the Data Page that comes after login.
I have successfully done item 1, but am failing at either item 2 or 3.
I have read the forum extensively on Posting to webservers and have followed many examples. However my application does not get past the login screen. My application does not error, but the html that I read is the html of the Login Screen and not the html of the Data Page.

You are very wise, but I have thought of that. Login.asp creates an html page that has a <form> statement with a submit action (Post) to login.asp. I pulled this out of the html.
I did get lucky and found that for a bad login, the asp replies with "Bad Login". Since I know the login, I tried both the good login and a bad login. I found that I am posting correctly and logging in (at least my login is recognized as good and bad as bad).
However, I don't get the information of the next page (the next page does come from default.asp)!
WHAT DO I KNOW:
1. I am posting correctly.
2. My login was recognized as good.
3. I don't get the next page, which comes from default.asp. Note, you can't go to default.asp directly, it will send you back to login.asp.
