Running from a command line with a .bat file

I am running my program through a .bat file.
The .bat file looks as follows:
java ../classes/HelloWorld
The .bat file is in a directory at the same level as classes so to get to the class file to run I specify this path. However, it cannot find the class file unless it is in the same directory as the .bat file. Is there a way around this?

hi,
as you could have known from the documentation, the java virtual machine executable 'java' expects a fully qualified class name as parameter, no file path. so 'java ../classes/HelloWorld' is of course completely wrong, it should be 'java HelloWorld' and nothing else. if you want to specify a certain path where the class file is to be found, use the -classpath command line option as in 'java -classpath ../classes/ HelloWorld'.
sincerely, Michael

Running Jar vs. command line with libraries

Hi everybody,
I have an application that works well from the command line, which relies on 3 libraries, all of which are in the same directory. My current directory structure is like this:
Main Folder
-> Library 1
-> Library 2
-> Library 3
-> Run script
-> Source Folder ("source")
->-> Code and main class
Library 1 depends on both Library 2 and Library 3. When I run from the command line, from the main folder, using this command:
java -Djava.library.path=. source/MainClass
My program runs fine.
The problem comes when I try to package it into a Jar and replicate the directory structure.
My manifest is:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: source.MainClass
<newline>
and my jar command is:
jar cvmf Manifest.txt test.jar source/*.class
When I try to run my jar, I get this error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /home/MainDirectory/Library1.so: Library2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I know what this means-- for some reason it doesn't know where Library2 is-- but I'm mystified as to why this works fine from the command line and not from a jar. Can anyone help me figure this out, please?
Thanks,
Jezzica85

Wrong question. You still want to run it via java -jar, but...
Your jar needs a MANIFEST.MF (if I recall correctly, that is the right file name) in its META-INF folder (again, if I recall correctly) which needs to set up the classpath via a Class-Path=... line in the file.
Actually you probably already do have such a file (you need it anyway for the jar to figure out what the main class is to execute), but it probably doesn't contain a Class-Path entry or is incorrect.
Google for jar manifestI've had less than stellar success on correcting the big boys lately, but why should I let that stop me...
As far as I can tell, the OP seems to be having problems with native link libraries. Some java class loads Library1 then (it appears) Library1 attempts to load Library2.
Would fixing a CLASSPATH help that?
I would expect it to be a problem with LD_LIBRARY_PATH (ala Sabre's earlier reply).

Jar file runs from the command line, but not when I double click it

Hello, I'm running windows xp. I've created an executable jar file and it runs fine from the command line when I type;
java -jar wizard.jar
but, when I double click it . . . nothing.
Any ideas?

nothing ? that's weird, windows XP should prompt you to select the program you want to use in order to open Jar files (and give you this silly piece of advice to search the web for the appropriate program)
you might want to check what program (if any) got associated with .jar extensions :
in Windows Explorer : Tools => Folder Options => File Types

Invoking XSLT from the Command Line with JRE1.4 and JRE1.5

When I invoke XSLT from the Windows Command Line with "java.exe org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -IN OldFile.xml -XSL StyleSheet.xsl -OUT NewFile.xml" it worked fine with JRE1.4.
Then I installed JRE1.5.0_09. The class "org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process" was moved to "com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xslt.Process". But when I call it with "java.exe com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xslt.Process -IN OldFile.xml -XSL StyleSheet.xsl -OUT NewFile.xml" I get the error "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main". When I look into the Process class there is no "main", but a "public static void _main(String argv[])".
The "JAXP Compatibility Guide for the J2SE Platform, versions 1.4 and 1.5" on "http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/1.6/jaxp/JAXP-Compatibility_150.html" chapter "Invoking XSLT from the Command Line" claims it should work.
Is there no more chance to invoke XSLT from the Windows Command Line? Why is "main" renamed to "_main"? Is the documentation wrong or is this a bug?

SQL 2012 SSIS package runs from the command line (dtexec.exe) and completes right away ...

Hi
I’m upgrading our SSIS packages from SQL 2005 to SQL 2012 .
Everything is working fine in Visual Studio, but when I’m submitting dtexec.exe it’s finishing right away in the command line (the actual execution takes long time).

Running reports via command-line with /batch option

Hi,
I have created a batch file which runs, and exports the results of 7 different discoverer reports with /batch option.
Contents of batch file:
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input1.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input2.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input3.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input4.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input5.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input6.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input7.txt"
Sample of a cmd file the bacth file runs:....
/connect user/password@oraprd /apps_responsibility "BIS Super User"
/open "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\Dev\Intransit Extract.dis"
/sheet 1 /export xls "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\Intransit Input.xls" /batch
The batch file runs ok and processes each report in sequence, and creates the excel export one after the other.
However, I need to process the 7 reports in parallel, so changed the batch file to process in own thread :
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input1.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input2.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input3.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input4.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input5.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input6.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input7.txt"
The reports kick off at the same time and I can see 7 dis4usr.exe processes running via task manager
Problem:
The first reports runs and exports ok.
All the others dis4usr.exe processing stops with the following error pop-up:
! Could not open file. OK
Question:
Can you only process reports sequentially via command line mode with /batch option?
If not...what am I missing...its driving me insane :)
All asistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Ladies and gentlemen.....I have solved my problemo!
The reason why the rest of the reports were getting the 'could not open file.' error was due to the fact that each discoverer instance launched was
trying to access the same standard log file simultaneously.
I modified each cmd file to write logging info to individual files: eg
/logfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\Automation\input2_log.txt"
Now that's there's no contention with logging, the reports are firing off beautifully in parallel :)
I am definitely having a beer this evening!
Thanks for everyone's input...kept me on the righteous path :)

Invoking Forms 6i application from command line with parameters

Hi,
I have a java application that requires to start up and execute an existing Forms 6i application.
I am not a java person, and I could not find any help regarding this. If anyone knows how to execute an fmx(6i) from within a java application, then please let me know. The java application has to pass in parameters so that the the Forms application opens up with the correct data.
One alternative suggested was that the java application execute a command line invocation of the Forms application. I am looking for the correct and complete syntax to do this. The fmx can be invoked from the command line with the following entered at the dos prompt -
c:\>OraFrm6i\Bin\ifrun60.exe<module name> <userid/password@db>. This works fine and the Forms application is executed.
The requirement is to pass a couple of user defined parameters to the Forms application which can be used by it to query the database and display the correct information when it opens.
Any help on this would be greately appreciated.
Thanks
Shailesh

Shailesh,
Create a parameter in your form - eg. COUNTRY_CODE and add any startup code.
Then add the parameter to your command line (or put it in a *.bat file)
c:\>OraFrm6i\Bin\ifrun60.exe<module name> <userid/password@db> country_code=UK

I want to set password security on a pdf from the command line

I have a pdf file that is created and placed on a report server. I would like to run a batch cmd to set the security for that pdf based on a saved security policy. I will call the batch cmd file from a batch application. Can Acrobat XI handle this operation or do I need a third party tool. The pdf is created by BI Publisher (Peoplesoft).
Thanks,
Jay

You need to invoke your cmd manually, don't you? So, instead of opening the Terminal application, enter the command and press "Enter" you open Acrobat and click a button. It's a different manual step to start the process, but you need a manual step to start the process anyway. I do realize that you may have a bash/perl/python script that does more than just apply encryption but that's the capability that Acrobat has.
Regretfully, Acrobat JavaScript API does not provide functionality to encrypt with password. You can use JS to encrypt with certificates but [for unknown to me reason] not with passwords. Otherwise it could've written a JS script that encrypts, embed this JS in a separate PDF, open that PDF from a command line with your JS script executing on Open and have this LS script do all the work you need. Well, you can do that for certificate encryption but not for password encryption. I don't know why. And you cannot invoke an action from a JS either. Oh, well...

Getting SimpleChat.mxml example running in the command-line

Hi,
I am working on getting a connection to cocomo working. Unfortunately, the documentation is highly unclear about how to get this running from the command-line(not to mention the example file in flash builder 4 crashes when run...).
Directly run, this is the error I'm getting:
$ /Developer/flex_sdk_4/bin/mxmlc cocomo_load.mxml
Loading configuration file /Developer/flex_sdk_4/frameworks/flex-config.xml
/Users/vlion/Documents/work/flixn/repos/vss/sandbox/cocomo_load.mxml(72): Error: Could not resolve to a component implementation.
/Users/vlion/Documents/work/flixn/repos/vss/sandbox/cocomo_load.mxml(84): Error: Could not resolve to a component implementation.
When adding --show-actionscript-warnings=true --strict=true, I get the same warning.
I have afcs.swc in the directory I'm running this from.
However, when run with --library-path=., I receive a slew of "could not find resource bundle for local en_US" warnings. Setting the local to en_US doesn't help the matter.
Reviewing the discussions I found online, this appears to be related to namespace issues. However, it is unclear what the namespace issue is.
What, exactly, is the problem, and what needs to be set to resolve it?

Hi,
Thanks for bringing this in notice to us. Since we were not building the examples in command-line with flex 4, we didn’t see this problem earlier.
The problem happened because our LCCS components were built with halo component and namespace in flex 3. So, when you are using the spark framework and flex 4, if you do not mention that you also need the halo theme , our components won't work. Flex Builder takes care for it but while doing command-line compiling you need to mention the theme specifically. If you run your current script with Flex 3 sdks, it would have built fine. This has nothing to do with our namespaces or using locale.
I am attaching a quick ant build script which I used to build our DefaultPods example with Flex 4 sdks( this script file is in same folder as DefaultPods.mxml).
You can see the build script and make any changes ( since I used for windows) and let us know if everything works fine for you.
Thanks again for bringing it to our notice. We will make sure that this gets added to the docs in next-release.
Thanks
Regards

Compile and Run From Windows Cmd Line?

Hey,
I have a Java project that I've created and run successfully from within Eclipse IDE. Now, I'm trying to compile and run from the command line so I don't have to depend on Eclipse. I can't seem to get it to work. I get tons of classpath looking errors.
Is there a way to use Eclipse such that it will show you the correct synatx to run the project from the command line?
Can anyone help me with this?
My project structure is:
MyProject
------src
---------------File1.java
---------------File2.java (main class)
------lib
---------------someFile1.jar
---------------someFile2.jar

MyProject
------src
---------------File1.java
---------------File2.java (main class)

Problem with running a java program from the command line

I have this code:
package pkg;
import jxl.*;
import java.io.File;
public class TestClass {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          try{
               Workbook book = Workbook.getWorkbook(new File("d:/testWorkspace/excFile.xls"));
               Sheet sheet = book.getSheet(0);
               String s=sheet.getCell(4, 2).getContents();
               System.out.println(s);
          }catch (Exception e){System.err.println(e);}
}I've wrote it in Eclipse, added jxl.jar to the buildpath, and it works fine.
Then I tried to run it from the command line and I did it like this:
D:\testWorkspace\testProject\bin> java -cp \jxl.jar pkg.TestClassThe result was:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: pkg/TestClass
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: pkg.TestClass
...but the file TestClass.class DOES exist in the folder d:\testWorkspace\testProject\bin\pkg\ and the file jxl.jar IS on the root of drive D (like I already wrote, it worked fine inside the Eclipse).
So, my question is: How to run this code from the command line?
I have no idea what went wrong.
Can someone help me, please?

The current directory is not implied in the classpath.
D:\testWorkspace\testProject\bin> java -cp .;d:\ pkg.TestClassor
D:\testWorkspace\testProject\bin> java -cp .;d:\jxl.jar pkg.TestClassI always forget which is right since I never work with jars...

Running report from command line with multiple value for same parameter

Hey,
I know how to run a report from the command line specifying parameters values each time but I was wondering if someone could tell me how I would go about running the same report multiple times in a batch program but specifying a list of values to pass to a parameter each time.
So for example if a parameter was 'School Number', how could I run a report in a batch program that would pass a school number to the report as a parameter using a list of school numbers generated for a sql statement or something. So if I had 300 school numbers in my list then I would get 300 different reports when the batch program finished.
This leads me to another question. How can I dynamically change the name of the report generated by the batch to use the school number value passed in, so for example if the value 3 was passed in the name would be something like School 3.pdf, if 4 was passed in the name would be School 4.pdf....etc
Any help on this?
Thanks
