Running exe files from java applications

Hello All,
Is it possible to run executable files from java applications?

HI,
I tried to launch a MS Word application using runtime.exec but it gives me some problem
The foll. code to launch a txt file using notepad works.
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
String[] callAndArgs = {"notepad.exe","C:\\coo7\\wizard.txt"};
Process child = rt.exec(callAndArgs);
However, oif I try to launch a MS Word application, it asks for the entire path of WINWORD.exe, (unlike just specifying notepad.exe as the first argument in String[] callAndArgs) and this can vary from one machine to another.. how do I get around this?
The foll. code snippet works but the complete path of where WINWORD.exe might be installed on any machine, is not fixed:-(
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
String[] callAndArgs = {"C:\\Program Files\\Office\\Office10\\WINWORD.exe","C:\\coo7\\wizard.doc"};
Process child = rt.exec(callAndArgs);
Any idea/suggestions pls..

Running a script from java application

How do I execute a script (sms_setver which requires parameters such ms9qa) from java application using Runtime.exec(). I tried Runtime.getRuntime().exec("sms_setver ms9qa"). But, I get this error:
Caught: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: sms_setver ms9qa error=2

Same way it is actually run from a console command line.
If you are doing this in windows then it might be using the extension to determine how to run it. If from unix then it might be using the shebang line.
At any rate figure it out and use that instead. Usually it involves either explicitly using the shell or some other executable and the script is a parameter to that process.

How to call webservice from Java application

Hi XI gurus
Pls let me know how to call a webservice from Java application.
I wanted to build synchronous interface from Java Application to SAP using SAP XI
For example, i need to create Material master from Java application and the return message from SAP, should be seen in Java application
Regards
MD

Hi,
If your JAVA Application is Web based application, you can expose it as Webservice.
JAVA People will pick the data from Dbase using their application and will send the data to XI by using our XI Details like Message Interface and Data type structure and all.
So we can Use SOAP Adapter or HTTP in XI..
If you use HTTP for sending the data to XI means there is no need of Adapter also. why because HTTP sits on ABAP Stack and can directly communicate with the XI Integration Server Directly
If you are dealing with the Webservice and SAP Applications means check this

There are phones which has WMA api with MIDP1.0 support .... Nokia 3650
Seimens has some phone with their own api's to send sms.Check out seimens site for more info
BTW, What do you mean buy sending SMS to Server????
If you want to send message to server you can do it with Http.
