Runtime.exec from a servlet ?

yes, I think so.

it works fine when i do:

javac Example.java
java Example

however from a servlet it doesn't work

if i cut and paste the command string from my java program and paste it into the dos prompt it works fine-

so something is going wrong from servlet to cmd line execution

please help

Running a command from the command line, is not the same as running it from exec.
The problems probably because of an environement difference.
Ensure you include the full pathname of the executable you are trying to run, and that you supply all the required environment variables.

Or run your command with the command shell.

I have it running from the exec if I just invoke that class...

javac whatever.java
java whatever

and it'll work just fine


However, the same exec code through a servlet doesn't work.  No errors are generated!?

I'm using Websphere v3.52 on NT

thanks

Again the servlet runs in a different environment than what your user login does.
What's the error your getting?

I'm not getting any errors, but the process's exitCode() is returning 1 if that helps.


Sorry it took so long for me to get back to this... I tried to get in but Experts was down-

If I watch the task manager on the NT box while I click on the link in my servlet, I first see a CMD.EXE start than a JAVA.EXE

so it seems as if they are both starting, just not properly finishing

any ideas

here is some of my code if it helps:



Runtime RunTime = Runtime.getRuntime();
      Process process = null;
      String  dir = "c:\\websphere\\appserver\\hosts\\default_host\\ias\\java_source\\",
              swfName = dir + ProjectId,
              template = dir + "one.swt",
              myExe;
      try{  
         myExe = "cmd /c c:\\jgenerator-1.3.0\\bin\\jgenerate.cmd -param projectName " + "\"" + ProjectName + "\"" +
                                                         " -param sectionOne "+ "\"" + sectionOne + "\"" +  
                                                         " -param sectionTwo "+ "\"" + sectionTwo + "\"" +
                                                         " -param sectionThree "+ "\"" + sectionThree + "\"" +  
                                                         " -param sectionFour "+ "\"" + sectionFour + "\"" +
                                                         " -param sectionFive "+ "\"" + sectionFive + "\"" +
                                                         " -param sectionSix "+ "\"" + sectionSix + "\"" +
                                                         " -param paragraphOne "+ "\"" + paragraphOne + "\"" +
                                                         " -param paragraphTwo "+ "\"" + paragraphTwo + "\"" +
                                                         " -param paragraphThree "+ "\"" + paragraphThree + "\"" +
                                                         " -param paragraphFour "+ "\"" + paragraphFour + "\"" +
                                                         " -param paragraphFive "+ "\"" + paragraphFive + "\"" +
                                                         " -param paragraphSix "+ "\"" + paragraphSix + "\"" +
                                                         " -swf " + swfName + ".swf " + template;
         System.err.println(myExe);
         
         process = RunTime.exec(myExe);
       
         System.err.println("got here also.... process = " + process);
      try {
         int rc = process.waitFor();
       }
       catch (InterruptedException ie) {
        System.err.println(ie);
      }
      System.out.println("process returned " + process.exitValue());
         process.destroy();
      }
      catch (IOException e){  
           System.err.println("_DbFlash CreateSWF failed! IOException...   stacktrace-->");
           e.printStackTrace();
      }



NO exceptions are thrown.....
