Launching a .exe from Applet

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to launch an executable file (.exe) from an applet? If so how does one do it?
Thanks!

plss go through the limitations of applet. it says a lot of things and a few to mention are......
1. cannot access files.
2. can't read from files
3. can't write to files
4. can't access databases.
5. CAN'T RUN OTHER PROGRAMS
but the above limitation can be overcome by taking a round about way. for eg, we can access file thru applets by establishing a socket connection and opening a stream to the file. we can access database also in may ways.....like writing a policy file for applet or connecting to database thru servlets or by using signed applets.
for running other programs.......i think......signed applets might help. signed applets are also known as trusted applets. just go throug signed applets and seek help from the signing applets' forum. it's a bit difficult topic but it's all paradise once u mastered the signing of applets. but before learning it , try to know whether u problem can be solved by trusted applets b'cos i'm not sure

Launching an application from Applet

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to launch an executable file (.exe) from an applet? If so how does one do it?
Thanks!

One of the points of applets is that they are not suppose to be able to execute local programs. If you could naughty people whould create applets that formmated peoples hard drives.
however, there is something called signed applets that may or may not give you more flexibility. I suggest reading up on them.

Security error running launching native app from applet

Hi,
I am tying to write a small applet to launch a local application. I use
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
rt.exec(application);
and I get a java security error:
Failure: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission C:\Program execute)
is there a way to go around this problem??
thanks so much for the help

You may use the <DRIVE>:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\<version>\bin\policytool.exe to edit the file.
Where can I find the functional "java.policy" file ? In <DRIVE>:\Documents and Settings<...> or in <DRIVE>Program Files/JavaSoft/JRE/<version>/lib/security/java.policy ?
What's the difference between the two files ?

How to launch an exe from LabVIEW VI

Hi,
I have made a few programs using LabVIEW and generated executables for each of these programs. I wish to generated a single launch program for these executables -- launch this wrapper program, select the (program) executable which you want to run and then finally run the executable.
If this possible to do that using LabVIEW? How should this be done?
Best Regards,
Harpreet

I would much rather call a subvi than call an exe. But there might be a reason for using exe's instead of subvi's. Anyway, create a loop with an event structure with an event case for each button. In each event case, run the proper exe with SystemExec.

Launching .exe from Flash

I need to produce a CD which will self-run when inserted in the drive. The user will see 2 buttons .One will launch the English version of a Flash.exe the other will launch the Spanish version of a Flash.exe. What is the best way to go about this? Sow what we have then is a Flash.exe with 2 buttons to launch 2 other Flash.exe.
Thanks,

Although launching an EXE from Java is as simple as
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime.exec("/*command string goes here");

Launching a exe as a WindowsXP user process using JSP

Hi,
I am trying to launch notepad.exe from a JSP. Whenever I deploy(tomcat 6.1) this JSP from an IDE, the process launched as a user process. but When I do the same from outside(no IDE and on tomcat 4.1), the process get launched as system process and never gets launched. the following is my code snippet that I use in my JSP.
try {
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\WINDOWS\\NOTEPAD.exe");
          out.write("Launched...");
catch (IOException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
any ideas... ??

Thanks for the reply,
I want it launched on the client side... YES. Using a applet or a web start... I am bit worried about the user experience... Notepad is the application, I want to launch... as a User Process(windows task manager)... as the priority for this type of process is higher than the System Process(decided by the OS based on its native scheduling policy and the available system resources)...

Launch exe from remote machine

Hi All,
How can I launch an executable residing in machine A from machine B?
I'm trying web services but no luck.
Am I the wrong track?
Thanks a lot

What does "I'm trying web services but no luck." mean? As I see it, you have two separate things to accomplish here. One is the launchiing of the executable locally. The other is the triggering of that event remotely. Deal with one, then the other. Much simpler. That is, encapsulate the launching in a single method call, then work on calling it remotely. Then your problem is simply "How do I call a method remotely?", and entirely decoupled from details such as "launch exe from remote machine"

Launching external applications from web start

Hi!
I am currently working on a management system and I need to launch other management systems from my Java Web Start application. The other systems are either based on web applications (URLs), telnet - needs to set up a telnet session, or running shell scripts or batch files.
URLs are ok. I am using Desktop.browse in Java 1.6 or I can use BasicService.showDocument in javax.jnlp API.
My application may run on both windows and linux (ie its launched from the browser). It interacts with a java app on a linux server over RMI.
How can I lauch a telnet session from my client app?
Do I have to include apache commons.net and create a telnet module in my app or can i lauch c:\windows\system32\telnet.exe in windows (if my app is lauched on win) and /usr/kerberos/bin/telnet (if my app is lauched in Linux)?
How can I launch an external .exe application in window and how can I launch any shell script or program in Linux?
(same as how do i lauch telnet)
As long as the user is prompted I can see no risk of denying these kind of things so I hope and think that this should be possible!
PS. I have managed to do it by using Runtime.exec() when running as a non JWS application, but I cannot do it when running as JWS:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission <<ALL FILES>> execute)I dont want to sign the application either. The reason for choosing webstart was to not have to renew certificates at our customers.
Please help.
Thanks for taking interest and reading this.. and I hope that someone has some helpful answers for me :)

Launching Rescue & Recovery from a Command Line

Question - I would like to know how I can launch Rescue & Recovery from a command line.
Issue that is prompting the question - My laptop was sitting in my computer bag overnight. The battery was fully charged. I BELIEVE that it was in suspend mode at the time. When I opened it in the morning, there was a message on the screen saying that a backup had not completed successfully. I then noticed that the battery had run down completely.
My Plan - I would like to launch Rescue & Recovery (as well as the Defrag utility) from Windows Task Scheduler. If I do, then all schedule tasks will be launched and controlled using the same process. Windows Task Scheduler also provides two key scheduling criteria that the IBM Rescue & Recoverry or the IBM Maintenance Manager utilities do not provide -
#1 - Run this task only when the PC is on AC power.
#2 - Run this task ony when the computer is idle (so that it doesn't slow down the PC if I happen to be working on it)
Background Concerns -
- Having a backup job automatically start when the computer is in my computer bag will run down my battery when I least expect it.
- The PC may could also be damaged due to overheating, since the sides of the computer bag block the ventilation holes.
Additional Info
- If I go to the ThinkVantage Productivity Center and select the Quick Link for "Backup Now" this will indeed launch a backup on demand. I assume that selecting this option is calling a specific executable file.
- However, the only two applicable executable files that I see in the C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery directory are "mr_gui.exe" and "wizrr.exe". Both of these files launch an interface that requires the user to make a selection. As a result, it doesn't look as if either of these files would work for unattended operation, unless there is some sort of switch that I can put in that will automatically start the backup process.
- I called the support line (only once so far), but that particular rep did not know of any way to launch Rescue & Recovery other than from the standard R&R user interfaces.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Mathew

The correct way to invoke a JSP is to make a request to the Server.
Normally you would use your browser to do this.
On a unix system, you can use the wget command to invoke a url without using a browser.

Opening an app or exe from a flash projector

Hi everyone:
How can I open a exe application from a flash projector. I am
burning a project to a CD and I need (in AS3) to call out run an
EXE when the user clicks a button.
I tried using the code below, but what it does is it prompts
the user to either run or download. If the user clicks run, the
prompts them that EXE are dangerous...blah, blah....How can I make
the EXE run from the CD automatically when the user clicks on the
"search" button without any notices (like other CDs do)?
I cant find this anywhere. I know in AS2 you can use
fscommand, but I read on line that this is not supported anymore.
thank you for your help.
Rafael.

Ok, Flash continues to infuriate me!
I have removed the 'settings' file parameter from my
fscommand call to see if my projector would at least launch the
.exe file, as per the following code . . .
fscommand("exec", "Ripstation Lite.exe");
But nothing happened . . .
I also tried another Windows .exe to see if it would work and
again it failed to launch anything . . .
fscommand("exec", "C:\Windows\System32\calc.exe");
This .swf is wrapped by Zinc to produce a Projector .exe file
but yet it fails to launch either .exe file! Why is this!?!?

Running a captivate .EXE from a Intranet site

I am currently trying to run a Captivate .EXE from our
internal intranet site.
I have created a 'front end' captivate project which will act
as the 'launch site'. Basically the buttons on the project should
launch the .EXE files held on our network, but for some reason it
doesnt seem to work. I have checked and double checked the file
paths and have tried it on both a restricted network and an open
one, to rule out access issue but this doesnt seem to make a
difference.
Can anyone help or have any ideas??

Hey there Collywobble1
I am not too sure on the intranet setup, but, in essence the
2 output formats for Captivate are intended for 2 seperate
requirements as I understand it.
SWF outputs are for network and internet based access and EXE
outputs are for standalone files on a user computer, CD etc. So it
seems as though you might have to convert your files to SWF and try
again.
If I am wrong, then could some other super genius please
assist (Rick, Larry, Jbradley88 et al)
Cheers
