Run PHP script in Java app.

Hi,
I have a PHP application that opens up a template (MS Word) invoice file, inserts some information in the file (eg. today's date, customer name) and then saves it as a new Word file. My questions are as follows.
1- How can I call this script from my Java application. Please note that I want to be able to pass parameters (eg. custome name read from a DB) from my Java app. to this script.
2- Is it possible to print already saved MS Word documents from Java? If so, how?
3- Is it possible to do what my PHP script is doing in pure Java? I couldn't find a simple way of doing this, that's why I used PHP but I would like to do this in Java if I can.
thanks in advance,
Mete

How to run Perl script in Java program?

Some say that the following statement can run Perl script in Java program:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\runPerl.pl");
But when I run it, it'll throw IOException:
java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: C:\runPerl.pl error=193
at java.lang.Win32Process.create(Native Method)
at java.lang.Win32Process.<init>(Win32Process.java:63)
at java.lang.Runtime.execInternal(Native Method)
at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Runtime.java:566)
at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Runtime.java:428)
at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Runtime.java:364)
at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Runtime.java:326)
at test.runPerl.main(runPerl.java:16)
Exception in thread "main"
Where is the problem? In fact, I do have a Perl script named "runPerl.pl" in my C:/ directory. Could anybody tell me why it can't be run? Thanks in advance.

Hello sabre,
First of all thanks for your reply.
I have tried like what you mentioned.
Eventhough, i could get the exact error message.
I could get the Exception
"Exception:java.lang.IllegalThreadStateException: process hasn't exited"
<code>
import java.io.*;
public class Sample{
public static void main(String args[]) {
String s = null;
Process p;
try
     p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("tar -vf sample.tar");
     //p.waitFor();
     if(p.exitValue() == 0)
          System.out.println("CommandSuccessful");
     else
          System.out.println("CommandFailure");
catch(Exception ex)
     System.out.println("Exception:"+ex.toString());
</code>
In this code, i tried to run the "tar command". In this command i have given -vf instead -xvf.
But it is throwing
"Error opening message catalog 'Logging.cat': No such file or directory
Exception:java.lang.IllegalThreadStateException: process hasn't exited
CommandFailure"
"Error opening message catalog 'Logging.cat'" what this line means ie,
I dont know what is Logging.cat could you explain me its urgent.
Thanks in advance.

Running sqlplus scripts from Java code?

hi
I need to programmatically run sqlplus scripts from Java code on a machine that doesn't have sqlplus installed.
Is there any Java class library available for doing this?

The Ant approach could probably work for me, thanks for the tip.
The setup seems rather complex however, given the simplicity of the task. I would prefer just running a Java based SQL*Plus from in a separate process or doing this via an API that would allow me to run SQL*Plus scripts (parse script, substitute variables, run statements).
Oracle SQL Developer v1.1 appears to include an API that does exactly this.
The ScriptParser, Substitution and SQLPLUS classes in the oracle.dbtools.raptor.scriptrunner package (oracle.sqldeveloper.jar) seem to do just what I need based on my tests.
Can I use these classes for this purpose in my application? Is repackaging allowed?
Does Oracle have any plans for releasing this sort of functionality separately e.g. as part of the Instant Client?

Which MAC OS can run 1.5 compiled java app?

from the apple website, the latest version of jre is Java 2 SE 5.0 Release 3
but it's only limited to Mac OS X 10.4.2 or later.
can any other earlier version of MAC OS run 1.5 compiled java app?
would apple develop 1.5 for the earlier MAC OS system?
thank you.

No. If you don't see it available in the Software Updates, it's not possible.

Run PHP script

Hello, everybody. I'm wondering if it's possible to run a HTML PHP script in a report region which type is HTML format? Something like:
<?php
echo phpinfo();
?>
As I can imagine, this code could not be handled to PHP compiler although as I know, the ORACLE appication server has been compiled together with PHP 5. So is there any tricks to make this work, or does APEX have some plan to make similar things work in the later version?
Thanks!

How to run a makefile from java app?

Hi,
I want to run a make command the first time my java swing application is run. The makefile is in a directory that the application is using for input files. Do I need to write a script to house the make command or is there another way to run make?
Thanks

Thanks for that but I'm not actually trying to build a makefile for my java app - I just want to be able to run one that is going to generate a bunch of html files for my application to access. The make command works great from the command line but I can't just put a directory followed by "make html" in a string and run it using runtime.exec in my application.

Need to run php script before the Flash component kicks in

I have a slide show component in Flash which uses an xml file to load images. The xml file, however, is created dynamically when the user selects which slide show they want to see. How do I run the php script BEFORE the slide show component has a chance to look for it? Usually it begins as soon as the .swf is run.
thanks,
chop

thank you for responding.
I'm still new at as3 so forgive me for needing details.
I searched adobe for help and came up with the following to import the component. However, it seemed too easy to be true and so it was. I received errors when I ran it. The component is a commercial one called SlideshowBox and is in my library with that exact name.
//add a component to the stage
import fl.controls.SlideshowBox;
var aSlideshowBox:Button = new Button();
addChild(aSlideshowBox);
errors:
Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 3    1172: Definition fl.controls:SlideshowBox could not be found.
Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 3    1172: Definition fl.controls:SlideshowBox could not be found.

Is it Possible to Run SQL Script from Java prog

Hello
Is there any API by which we can run SQl Script file ,
Just by giving database configration parameters and SQL Script file Path ,it will execute that script automatically

You can excute SQL statemetns throught JDBC, but that doesn't have a facility to read those statements from a file. You'd have to write code to read the file and create and execute statements through JDBC. That should be pretty straightforward though.
It's conceivable that there's a third party library out there that does it, if you know what to look for.
If you're not familiar with JDBC, check out http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Database/JDBC20Intro/

Launchd not running php script in background

Hi there,
I am trying to run a php script repeatedly after every 2 minutes using launchd. I am using mac 10.9.2.
Here is my plist file-->

studio-film1:oauth MetricFilm$ sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.mycompanyname.mydepartment.mytaskname.plist
com.mycompanyname.mydepartment.mytaskname: Already loaded
When i drag and drop my job.php script on terminal, it shows its path and when i enter.... It is not giving me any error & it is running on command line too & creating "YourFile.txt" if it does not exists & if it exists then it writes two lines into it.
Problem is---->
"YourFile.txt" is not getting generated neither if it is there is getting written by php script. Which means it is not running into memory even a once.
What should i do to make launchd run this script repeatedly.
Thanking you

Thanks dear,
Should i change relative path mentioned into PLIST file
<string>/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/oauth/job.php</string>
to Absolute...?
And is there any other command to start a plist task running after we have loaded it with launchctl??
Thank you

Running php scripts on development server

Hi,
I have Coldfusion development server and Apache running on my local host. CF is on port 8500 and Apache is running on port 80.
On my remote host in plesk I can add support for Coldfusion and PHP, is there a way to run PHP files on localhost:8500?
Thanks

Sweet. I run this setup on Mac 10.5.7 and it's great (PHP & CFML on port 80, that is).
The easiest solution is to reinstall CF as a multi-server and run the connectors for Apache. The most recent CF (8.0.1) Mac installer is 'built' for Leopard, so it works well.
Mark Drew has a good post:

Running PHP Script

I've enabled the Apache server on my mac, and when I access my local IP address I can see the web page I've created. However, it appears that the server doesn't process PHP scripts, and just returns the source code of the PHP script when I try to open the script in Safari 4. How do I get the built-in Apache server to process PHP scripts and return the desired result?

PHP is disabled by default. To enable it, you must edit Apache's configuration file. To do this, open up /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf with a text editor. The file is owned by root, so you'll need appropriate access to modify the file. Text editors like BBEdit or TextWrangler can make this step much easier.
Fairly early on in the configuration file is the section for the Dynamic Shared Object support - these are the modules that Apache loads to enable it to perform various tasks. In this section are a whole bunch of "LoadModule" statements - one for each module that Apache is loading. One of these is for PHP support. In the httpd.conf file on my machine, the built-in PHP module's statement is on line 114, the next to last item in this section. It reads: "#LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so" Remove the "#" from the beginning of the line, save the file, and restart Apache.
If you plan on using PHP files as the default page for a directory (index.php, for example), you'll need to add index.php to the Directory Index section (line 225 in my file). Apache looks for them in the order listed, so if you list index.php after the index.html that's already there, Apache will look for index.html when asked for the directory before looking for index.php. If you're going to have index.php for most of your directories, you may want to list it first, before index.html.
With regard to PHP itself, Apple's included PHP isn't any more official that the one I mentioned from Marc Liyanage. They're both compiled from the same source code. And, as far as updating goes, I'd argue that it's easier to update Marc's version, as you simply download an updated version and the installer will overwrite the old version. And, you don't have to wait for Apple to release a new version of OS X or a security update to see if you get a more current version. His versions will almost always be more current than the one Apple provides.
In any event, Marc's version does not remove Apple's version from your system. His installs in /usr/local/ and leaves Apple's version intact. So, you can always go back to Apple's version by changing a few lines in a configuration file.

Auto run a script in a .app build?

I have an applescript studio project that has two scripts. I want one of the scripts to autorun when the .app is opened, is there anyway to accomplish this easily?
TIA
Dave

Where to I enter the
All you need to is adding run script "so:and:so"
inside the handler.
Yup, inside the on awake from nib handler
BTW.... when I click "edit" the inspector goes away?
Yup, it switches to XCode, so you can edit the script.
Now, it can be pretty simple, but it's depend on how you structure you project, to be more exact, on where you keep your scripts. Because you need to get the path to script in order to run it. Here is my example:
tell me to (run script alias (POSIX file (path for script "base64_unicode" extension "scpt") as string))
path for script return the path, but your script has to be in the Scripts folder of your XCode project.
