Problem in executing a SP in Java using Oracle OCI Driver...

Question

Hi,
I have a installed the Oracle OCI driver on iPlanet Web Server 4.1. The application has been designed using the Jakarta Struts framework where the dom classes act as an interface between the database and the application(action classes). The dom classes execute stored procedures stored in an SP packages (eg. DDTS_PACK.setContact(..)). Now here's the problem. When a new record is being inserted, the dom executes the 'setContact' stored procedure using a java.sql.CallableStatement. The execution of this stored procedure is successful at times and fails at times. What could be the reason?? Could it be something to do with connection pooling. The default connection pooling class from oracle, oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleConnectionCacheImpl() is being used to get the connection. The funny thing is that the stored procedure gets executed both the time (success/failure) and returns a return status as 'N' when it fails and 'Y' when it is successful.
I would be greatful to anybody who could give a solution to the above problem. Thanks and have a great day.
Regards,
Anand

Since the pipe '|' is interpreted by the shell then you need the shell to invoke your command
        String[] command = {"sh","-c","find /tmp/reports1 -name " + "\"" + "*" + "\"" + " -mtime +" + strdaysback + " -print|xargs rm -r"};
        final Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
  You should also read http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html at least twice and implement the recommendation regarding stdout and stderr.
P.S. Why are you not using Java to find and delete these files?
