How to open Internet explorer from java

how can one open internet explorer through java and also displays the desired webpage in it.

p = r.exec(runie);Whenever you use exec on a Runtime object, you need to get an InputStream off the System.err output. If this InputStream is not absorbed in some way, then it can stop the process. The process may not reach its destined finish point. The Java Documentation does not inform you of this, though experience will give you some unanswered questions, such as 'Why does this process never reach the finish point'.

Problem in Opening HTML Page in Internet Explorer from my Swing Application

Hi,
I am opening a HTML file in Internet Explorer from my swing application.I am using the code given below
private final static String WIN_FLAG = "url.dll,FileProtocolHandler";
private final static String WIN_PATH = "rundll32";
String cmd = WIN_PATH + " " + WIN_FLAG + " " + url;
// url is HTML file Path
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec( cmd );
Here there are two things i need to address ...
1)The HTML file is opening up,but it always opens behind the swing application,that makes me every time to maximize the HTML file after it being opened up.I want to open it in front of the Swing Application.I need to implement "Always On Top" functionality for the html page.
2)Whenever i trigger action to open different HTML page,it opens in new Internet Explorer window.
I need to open it in same IE window.
how to solve out these problems ??? any help would be greatly appreciated .Thanks in advance.

Cannot print documents after I downgraded internet explorer from version 8 back to 7.

Hello, Due to internet problems, I recently changed my internet explorer from Beta version 8 back to version 7. Everything on my PC seems to be working fine except for printing. I cannot print to my HP officejet J5780 all in one. When I try to print an error message shows up in the print queue and it says printer offline. The printer was set as default but I wonder if something was modified in the print setup when I reverted back to an older version of Explorer. If I try to deinstall/reinstall I get an error saying I could permanently damage the printer configuration. Also if I try to check HP drivers and software on the HP website it says I need to update but fails to download the necessary files. Please advise.

first thing to check is make sure it is still a default printer
and go to properties and check for the port and make
sure it say what the port your printer that it is using
like a pareled or usb or TCP\IP connections
and if the TCP\IP check for the correct IP of the printer
and you may want to set the printer to "static"
this will keep it from changing IPs
and you may have to uninstall and reinstall
the printer
download the file manually
make sure you know where it is saved at
for IE click save not run
for Fire Fox but first go to the tool
and click option and look in the main tab
in the middle of the box click the circle
"Always ask where to save the file"
and make sure you know where you put
the download at

Once you mounted the CDROM (something maybe as /media/cdrom) as a file system (or assigned a drive letter to it like D: or F: or whatever), the files are accessible normally.

Calling oracle SQL Loader from java program

Hi,
I want to insert data into oracle tables from a text files containing fixed length fields. I am using SQLLoader to achieve this. The requirement is to call the SQLLoader within the java program.
Does anyone know how to call SQL Loader from java program?
Thanks,
Varsha

Simply "exec" the sqlldr program with the parameters you need to pass to it.
Runtime.exec (........)
Try to pass all parameters needed including the username and password, and use the option "silent" to avoid output, and the option "log" to have a log file of the modifications that sqlldr has done to the database.

SOLVED: How To Use LDAP over SSL (no certs) from java program

Trying to connect to OID from Java program (using Grocery Store demo as a test). Want to use SSL with no server certificate. OID is configured, and ldapsearch -U 1 works.
Tried using URL with ldaps, or adding SECURITY_PROTOCOL,"ssl". In both case the error is 'simple bind failed'.
Samples on OTN say this should be possible, but then only have code for the non-ssl connection.
Posting from others with this same question don't seem to have been answered.

I have found that using ConnectionUtil.getSSLDirCtx() from Oracle will make a no-authentication SSL connection. An example in the sample code would be useful.

Even with Java APIs, There is a way to talk through SSL without bothering about certificates. It's just that you will have to write some code and make some changes in settings.
Read following to get further information on the same.

I don't know or I won't comment whether it's the right approach or not but it's definitely a work around.

Problem while running dos command from java program

Dear friends,
I need to terminate a running jar file from my java program which is running in the windows os.
For that i have an dos command to find process id of java program and kill by using tskill command.
Command to find process id is,
wmic /output:ProcessList.txt process where "name='java.exe'" get commandline,processid
This command gives the ProcessList.txt file and it contains the processid. I have to read this file to find the processid.
when i execute this command in dos prompt, it gives the processid in the ProcessList.txt file. But when i execute the same command in java program it keeps running mode only.
Code to run this command is,
public class KillProcess {
     public static void main(String args[]) {
          KillProcess kProcess = new KillProcess();
          kProcess.getRunningProcess();
          kProcess = new KillProcess();
          kProcess.readProcessFile();
     public void getRunningProcess() {
          String cmd = "wmic /output:ProcessList.txt process where \"name='java.exe'\" get commandline,processid";
          try {
               Runtime run = Runtime.getRuntime();
               Process process = run.exec(cmd);
               int i = process.waitFor();
               String s = null;
               if(i==0) {
                    BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new
                           InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
                    while ((s = stdInput.readLine()) != null) {
                     System.out.println("--> "+s);
               } else {
                    BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new
                           InputStreamReader(process.getErrorStream()));
                    while ((s = stdError.readLine()) != null) {
                     System.out.println("====> "+ s);
               System.out.println("Running process End....");
          } catch(Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
     public String readProcessFile() {
          System.out.println("Read Process File...");
          File file = null;
          FileInputStream fis = null;
          BufferedReader br = null;
          String pixieLoc = "";
          try {
               file = new File("ProcessList.txt");
               if (file.exists() && file.length() > 0) {
                    fis = new FileInputStream(file);
                    br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fis, "UTF-16"));
                    String line;
                    while((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
                         System.out.println(line);
               } else {
                    System.out.println("No such file");
          } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          return pixieLoc;
}     when i remove the process.waitFor(), then while reading the ProcessList.txt file, it says "No such file".
if i give process.waitFor(), then it's in running mode and program is not completed.
Colud anyone please tell me how to handle this situation?
or Is there anyother way to kill the one running process in windows from java program?
Thanks in advance,

CommandLine
ProcessId

If i modify the command as,
cmd.exe /C wmic process where "name='java.exe'" get commandline,processid > 123.txt
and keeps in running mode only.
If i open the file when program in running mode, no contents in that file.
If i terminte the program and if i open the file, then i find the processid in that file.
Can you help me to solve this issue?

Oh, bummer. Would be much more convenient if I could just use iTunes for everything. Can't stand WMP. I wonder if WinAmp might be a good compromise?
Thanks for this answer . . .
