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.

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 :)

Reverse-Engineer Java Class Files ---- Launch Java Application From Icon

hi,
is there a way to prevent java class files from being interpreted back into java source files (jad.exe does exactly that) ?
i have a batch file to compile my java application and another to run the application. the application is run by invoking the batch file from dos window.
i'd like to be able to double-click on some icon to launch the application.
how do i accomplish this?
thank you.

s there a way to prevent java class
files from being interpreted back into
java source files (jad.exe does exactly that) ?There are two ways to prevent that:
1. Use an obfuscator. Look at this page for
explanation of what is that, and then search google
"java obfuscator" for products.

2. Compile your application to native code (google
for "excelsior jet" or "gcj"). Look at this page for
more details:

i'd like to be able to double-click on some
icon to launch the application.
how do i accomplish this?Do you want to do that on your computer only, or you
need a solution to make the clickable icon on
computers of your end-users?
Denis.thanks to all,
i'll see suggest sites for more details on obfuscator.
I'd like to have the application doulbe-clickable on end-users' computers.

How to launch an application from java?

Hi,
Would anybody please help me this. I need to launch a new desktop application from my java app but I don't know how. For example, when user clicks on a "Edit" button from my java app, my app needs to launch NOTEPAD.EXE to allow user starts editing.
Thanks a lot.
Hung.

try something like this for your button's action method:
        String[] cmd = {"notepad"};
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
        try {
            Process pro = rt.exec(cmd);
            pro.waitFor(); // wait until it's done executing
            System.out.println("Process exit code is: " + pro.exitValue());
        }catch(IOException ioe) {
            System.err.println("IOException -> " + ioe);
        } catch(InterruptedException ie){
            System.err.println("InterruptedException: " + ie);
        }

jayNope. You should know some basic things before trying to give answers.
If (unsigned/untrusted) applets could just run any other app, imagine the chaos when someone hits a rogue website containing an applet that executes something like "format c:"

Can you Launch External Applications From Within InDesign Ebook?

Hi all,
I was wondering if it is possible to open an external application from within an ebook (created with InDesign) e.g. click on a link and have an external ssh client open up for instance?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Regards,
RG

It's possible to include hyperlinks in an InDesign file and export them in an EPUB file. Since I'm not familiar with working with SSH clients (in fact, I just had to Google it to have a clue what you're talking about), is this something that can be invoked in a standard URL format? If so, you could probably include it.
The next issue is whether the link would work. The link couldn't be used directly in any eBook reader I know of, but at least the iBook on an iPad or iPhone would switch to to Safari to let you follow a URL to its destination. But I don't think that's possible on most eBooks.

Launching Java Application From A Java Application

Hello,
I am building a compiler and would like to have run feature. The problem is I can not seem to figure out the righ syntax to run and application from my java application.
Here is the code I am using to run an application:
public void RunClass()
try
Runtime rtr=Runtime.getRuntime();
Process pr = rtr.exec("java " + CurrentDirectory + FileNoExt);
String line;
BufferedReader rerr = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(pr.getErrorStream()));
if((line = rerr.readLine()) == null) { CompileMessageArea.setText("Program Running\n"); }
while ((line = rerr.readLine()) != null) { CompileMessageArea.append(line +"\n"); }
rerr.close();
catch(Exception re) { re.printStackTrace(); }
The following is an example of what the above would send to the:
java c:\MyJava\Programs\test
If you try to type something like that in a DOS prompt it will not work. You must first change to that directory, but I am hoping there is an easy way to change the syntax. On the other hand if you want to compile a program you can type:
javac c:\MyJava\Programs\test.java
and it will work just fine. This is kind of funny and I use this syntax for my compiler in my program. You would think that the same syntax would work the same for both compiling and running but it does not. So, I know that if I just know what the correct syntax that dos would except for running an application it would work.
So, if you have the answer for me PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
It is easily testable by keying it into the dos prompt.
Sincerely,
Eric Kohr

If you want to do it that way you need to use the environment parameter of the exec() method. Use it to set your classpath to the directory that's need for the java application you are about to run... for instance.
String[] env = new String[] {"CLASSPATH=c:\classes"}
String command = "java somePackage.someProgram";
Runtime.getRuntime().exec( env, command);Where your program is in the file "c:\classes\somePackage\someProgram"
your mileage may vary :)
You can also reflectively load classes into the running VM and invoke their main methods. This give you the ablility to control them a bit more.

Launching An Application From Java applet?

is it possible to run an executable from a java applet (the executable could be in the local machine)? if it is not possible is there any other alternatives (like scripts)?

Yes, it is possible but it violates the applet security rules. So you have to sign the applet for this to be allowed.

Can I launch an application from keynote?

We have a proprietary application that we want to launch directly from our presentation - can't seem to do it from a hyperlink...any other ways to launch?

Two options for you:
Make sure the other app is open before you start the Keynote Presentation and then press command-tab to change to it. Then you can command-tab back to your Keynote Presentation.
In the Keynote Preferences>Slideshow, make sure that you have the Allow Exposé, Dashboard and others to use screen checked and then you can use Exposé to switch apps.

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 ?
