hi Narayana,

I made another batch file where i print simple echo and it worked fine in jsp , there should be some other problem.
Try to check it by making simple batch file containing echo.

I used the same code you posted.


Second thing jsp is wrong place to execute batch file you should put it in the servlet.

Jatan

Go read the javadocs for the java.lang.Process class.

Pay particular attention to the need to handle the standard and error output streams.

You should try to learn about handling a .bat execution by writing a separate class, NOT playing with JSP

You most definitely need to read all the sections of http://www.javaworld.com/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html and implemens ALL the recommendations.

You should isolate the code into a separate class that is testable outside of the your JSP. Please please please take notice of the traps article and make sure that you pay proper attention to the quoting of file names,

Can you give more information than "it is not working..."?

What happens when you run it?
Do you get an error message?
Does it complete, but not do what you expect?
Does it put too much sugar in your coffee?

My second question would be - why do you need to trigger an external operation in this manner?
Doing so normally smacks of bad design. What does calling this windows specific batch file accomplish that you can't do in java?
