Running native processes internally
Just like Eclipse runs javaw.exe without the java process appearing in the processes list, and air apps probably do the same with the air runtime.
is it possible to do the same with air apps to run other processes?
for example im thinking of writing a java jar app which mediates a java socket and building a as3 class which simulates the socket class (when actually its just using native process), but i dont want the air app to apear to be running 2 processes.
how can i do this?
thank you
marcidus
are both your variabels called name? in the same scope??

Native Process works OK in FlashBuilder 4.6 'run' but won't export build
Hi,
I have a small application that uses the 'native process' feature to invoke Image Magick to process an image file. My environment is Widows 7/64 bit.
The application runs perfectly within FlashBuilder 4.6 using the 'run' facility and with 'supported profiles' set to 'extendedDesktop' in the -app.xml file.
But when I try to export-build it, I get an error message (306) listing the supported profiles but extendedDesktop is not one of them.
I have also tried to package this using the native Flex 4.6 SDK but the same error occurs.
If I add 'desktop' to the supported profiles, the application will export build, and then allows the creation of the exe from the air file.
But the exe will not run and just 'hangs' once you get to the point where the native proessing is invoked.
The native process documentation says that extendedDesktop is required so the application using 'desktop' perhaps understandably 'hangs'.
Any assistance with this will be most appreciated.OK, found the problem - I need to export-build the app as 'signed native installer' not 'signed AIR package'.
Thanks to the answer to a similar problem in this forum from 2010. -
Error when running setup: Attach to native process
Hi,
I try to install the oracle iplanet webserver (version 7.0.13) on linux (centos 6.2, 64 bits).
I first installed the compat-libstdc++-33 packages.
After that I installed JRE, this version:
java version "1.6.0_31"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_31-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.6-b01, mixed mode)
To install the iplanet webserver I first extract the content of the downloaded file (Oracle-iPlanet-Web-Server-7.0.13-linux-x64).
Then I try to run setup with the command ./setup
The error I get is: attach to native process failed.
Any idea what is wrong?
Regards Stefan
Thanks for the help.Stefan,
I am seeing the same error on Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin (which is admittedly unsupported). This happened to me once before on an older version of Ubuntu, and as I recall, it was a missing library dependency, but I am not able to locate the fix I came up with at that time.
Interestingly, my existing ws7u12 installation runs fine, I just cannot upgrade to the latest update (15).
I have this software under support, but only on Solaris (I develop on Ubuntu, but deploy to my production Solaris server). In any case, as Ubuntu is not officially supported, opening an SR for this problem would be a waste of time.
I'll continue digging for my old solution and post here if I find it. If you've since discovered the solution, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks,

Native Process running from Flash Builder but not from the installed exe
I have created an AIR application to launch a native process. The application works fine when tested in Flash Builder but doesn't runs when I create and AIR installer and run the installed exe. Any idea what might be wrong?
Have you created a native installer instead of just an AIR file.

Very strange bug with AIR and native process (Windows 7, EXE)
Hello to everyone!
The situation is:
I've made an AIR Application, inside of that is running a native process - EXE file.
I'm using Flash CC as IDE and tried to use compile that as EXE with AIR 2.6 and 3.6 - results are same.
So I've insert inside a checking if Native Process is supported or not and the Native process is supported all the time.
When I've just installed the application and run it - the very first attempt is good - everything is working as a must: internal EXE is called by my Application with necessary parameters as many time as I'm need.
However if I'll close the App and then will run it again - internal EXE is not starting at all, doesn't depends on number of attempts to re-start of the App.
So only way is to uninstall, install it back and then you'll be one more session of successful internal EXE-requests, till the next re-start of the App.
That's it.
I've tried to "google it" but unsuccessful. Probably the bug is very rare.
Help me please?
Update: at compilation with Flash CC IDE it's working all the time with no any issues.
Update-2: when I'm running installator-EXE, there is going a notification "Same version is installed, etc." and then selected "Run Now" - there is also working with no problems.Well, I've found the solution and answer by myself and here is it please:
In case with same situation as above you need to add just one line in your AS3-code
nativeProcessStartupInfo.workingDirectory = File.applicationDirectory;
And you will be happy so much -

Conversion Error: I/O error while communicating with native process
Hi,
I am trying to use Oracle Outside In Technology Image Export for conversion of images. I am trying to run the example ExportTest that comes with the downloaded SDK.
I get the below error while running the ExportTest example.
Conversion Error: I/O error while communicating with native process .
Am I missing any settings?
Please guide to the right forum if this is not the one for posting queries on Oracle Outside In Technology Image Export.
Thank you.Hi Revanth,
I am using Image Export 8.3.7 and I am trying to run the java class "ExportTest" that is in the location sdk\samplecode\ExJava\Examples\ExportTest\src of the download.
My input folder has one jpg - puzzle.jpg (this is just a simple jpg), I am trying to convert it to TIFF. ExportTest.java uses the classes in Export.jar . Export.jar is located in the sdk\samplecode\ExJava\Examples\ExportTest . You can see source files of the Export.jar at location sdk\samplecode\ExJava\Java API\src of the download. I am running the 'ExportTest' by providing the arguments (input folder, output folder and ix.cfg - this file comes with the download). So now when I run this class I was getting the error I mentioned in this post. Inorder to find more details about the error I modified the 'Export.java' (at sdk\samplecode\ExJava\Java API\src\com\outsideinsdk) just to printStackTrace when the exception occurs and rebuilt the 'Export.jar' and ran the 'ExportTest.java'.
And below is the stack trace that I got :

Launch App with Native Process
Hi,
I want to launch serproxy application (http://www.lspace.nildram.co.uk/freeware.html) using native process in adobe air. But it seems not working.
Here is my code:
protected function launchSerproxy():void{
if(NativeProcess.isSupported){
var serproxy:File = File.applicationDirectory;
serproxy = serproxy.resolvePath("serproxy/serproxy.exe");
var nativeProcessStartupInfo:NativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();
nativeProcessStartupInfo.executable = serproxy;
var process:NativeProcess = new NativeProcess();
process.start(nativeProcessStartupInfo);
// connect to the com port
setTimeout(connect,1500,"127.0.0.1",5339);
Flex did not return any error or problem on runtime. What should I do to have Adobe Air load and run serproxy? Thanks.I think you just missing the working directory.

Bsg12Hi there, have you integrated the AIR 2.0 SDK with your Flex 4 SDK? It is needed to run the AIR 2 samples. It's not yet included in the Flex 4 SDK.
You can download the SDK here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air2.html
and the instructions for how to integrate it with your Flex 4 SDK are listed in the release notes (or here: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/AIR_2:Release_Notes)

Hi,
Runing SuSE Linux 8.0, java 1.4.0
I'm trying to create a native shell (I/O dumped into a JTextArea) woith java, the problem is that once I have invoked bash, it somehow manages to work out that its not running in a real console and behaves as if my input was a script. I managed to get bash working properly with command line args, but now when I want to start other interpreters on top of it they too seem to detect they are not in a proper tty.

Native Process Not Supported in Flash Builder 4.1
Hi,
I am using Flash Builder 4.1 and I am trying with native processing with the example from http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flex/quickstart/articles/interacting_with_native_process.h tml. When I tried to run the project in Flash Builder, it shows "NativeProcess not supported.". However, after I export release build, the application is working properly.
How can I have the native process to be able to run in Flash builder? So that it will be easier for me to test and troubleshoot the application. Thanks.You need to add the following line in your ***-app.xml file for debugging mode
<supportedProfiles>extendedDesktop</supportedProfiles>
and
<supportedProfiles>extendedDesktop desktop</supportedProfiles>
for release build -
Reading native process standard output stream with ProcessBuilder
Hi,
I'd like to launch an native process (windows application) which writes on standard output during its running.
I'd like to view my application output on a JTextArea on my Java frame (Swing). But I do get all process output
on text area only when the process is finished (it takes about 20 seconds to complete). My external process is
launched by using a ProcessBuilder object.
Here is my code snippet with overridden doInBackground() and process() methods of ProcessBuilder class:
@Override
public String doInBackground() {
jbUpgrade.setEnabled(false);
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder();
paramFileName = jtfParameter.getText();
command = "upgrade";
try {
if (!(paramFileName.equals(""))) {
pb.command(command, jtfRBF.getText(), jtfBaseAddress.getText(), "-param", paramFileName);
} else {
pb.command(command, jtfRBF.getText(), jtfBaseAddress.getText());
pb.directory(new File("."));
pb.redirectErrorStream(false);
p = pb.start();
try {
InputStream is = p.getInputStream();
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
String line;
jtaOutput.setText("");
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
publish(line);
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(CVUpgradeFrame.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(CVUpgradeFrame.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
jtaOutput.setText("");
jtaOutput.setLineWrap(true);
jtaOutput.append("Cannot execute requested commmad:\n" + pb.command());
jtaOutput.append("\n");
jtaOutput.setLineWrap(false);
return "done";
@Override
protected void process(List<String> line) {
jtaOutput.setLineWrap(true);
Iterator<String> it = line.iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
jtaOutput.append(it.next() + newline);
jtaOutput.repaint();
//Make sure the new text is visible, even if there
//was a selection in the text area.
jtaOutput.setCaretPosition(jtaOutput.getDocument().getLength());
How can I get my process output stream updated while it is running and not only when finished?
Thanks,
jluke1) Read the 4 sections of http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html and implement the recommendations. Although it is concerned with Runtime.exec() the recommendations still apply to Process generated by ProcessBuilder.
2) Read about concurrency in Swing - http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/concurrency/ .
3) Use SwingUtilities.invokeLater() to update your GUI. -
I want to send email from my application. I need to only start the process of sending and return the control. Typically I will call the send mail method from a servlet. So after calling the method, I want to return back to the servlet and continue with rest of the processing.
Any ideas on how to implement this.. Will Thread.setDaemon be useful here..i have used thread.setdaemon(true). but how can i be sure that the thread runs in the background. is there any way to check if the thread runs in the foreground or background. also is there any simple way to check if the whole process runs faster when running the thread in the background as compared to running in the fore.
thanks in advance.

I want to send email from my application. I need to
only start the process of sending and return the
control. Typically I will call the send mail method
from a servlet. So after calling the method, I wantto
return back to the servlet and continue with restof
the processing. You create a server process. The servlet sends a
request to that process and it does the work.
There are several ways to implement it.
-Use a server process external to the J2EE container.
-Use a server process internal to the J2EE container
(this is not a managed bean but simply something that
the container starts when it starts everything else.)
-And as previously suggested you could just roll up a
thread. At the very least you must keep in mind that
the threads you create will not be managed by the
container and that more than one can exist at the same
time. It is also possible, although not likely, that
your container will not allow you to roll up a
thread. -
Deployment runs into an internal error NI installers
Hi,
When I try to deploy my system in TSv4.1.1, the deployment runs into an internal NI installers problem. Error in deployment status log is "An internal error occurred involving an installer function. This type of error usually involves a problem with one or more National Instruments Installers. For more information open the following log file:
...\Temp\Detailed_Installer.log (path replaced). " I can't find any suspicious in that file. I can even find error line in status log stating "Error Code:-603 Read Registry Value STR.vi".
What I have done is that I have upgraded from TSv3.5 to TSv4.1.1 which is now running in a new computer. I use the same .tsw file as in v3.5. I have verified and I suppose all files in .tsw have correct paths according to changes made from 3.5 to 4.1.1. I use some old DLLs compiled in CVI 8.x included in .tsw.
I have even tried a create a new deployment file without any further success.
I even get the internal error message window above when I access installer options tab and drivers and components window after pressing OK or cancel button.
any help ?

When I attempt to open Firefox instead of Firefox opening, an error message appears saying "Firefox is already running but isn't responding. To open another window please close the existing Firefox process or restart the system.", but I can't find that process of Firefox in order to kill it, and after restarting the system there is still the problem. I have found an emergency fix to at least get online, and that is to use"Firefox_Profile_Manager" in the start menu's "run" start menu, but the
Firefox that then opens is that one doesn't carry over what I had in my bookmarks but starts bookmarks anew.Sounds like it is hanging when you exit and later try to restart Firefox.

****Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
*** If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it
***#by enabling '''<u>one at a time</u>''' until the problem reappears.
***#You can also enable a few at a time (3-5), keeping track of what you just re-enabled to see if the problem re-occurs; this will help narrow down the possibilities if you have a large number of add-ons.
***#'''<u>You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change</u>''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit).
***#You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe Mode start window.
