Running Automator app/service as command from an Application

Question

I want to create an Automator app or service to be called from a script editor.  Which action would allow me to retrieve the filename/filepath that was being edited by that application?  Also, the editor has a "run command" feature that I planned to use to run the automator app.  What type of automator app should I create to be able to run it as a command?

Friends, i've got, where the problem is.
when we run a class file directly from a command prompt, we get an environment with that shell window. but for a servlet application running these kind of commands from a class creates kind of child processes. each and every command is executed as a child process of jvm and don't get those environment. we have 'PATH' variable in the environment. when a command (say, 'dir' or 'sh' or 'ls', etc.) is executed, the shell first search for that executable file (i.e. dir / sh / ls) in the given paths in the variable 'PATH'. this is not available for the child commands of jvm. hence the basic commands are searched in the current directory of the jvm and they are failed.
i solved the problem giving full path of the commands. like :
p = rt.exec("/bin/sh runningScript.ksh")
