Permission problem?

[ir...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I am trying to run a command line from inside cocoon (2.0.3) hosted on
tomcat (4.0.5) on a windows 2003 advanced server.

To do this i have created a new action which i call if the pattern
matches. inside the action i am using
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmdline);

The error stream from the command tells me that it couldn't open one
of the input files (actually an xml description of an mpeg). i tried
running the same command from a simple java application from the same
directory and it works perfectly. executing a simple application
(without any command line params) from inside the action also works
fine. so i thought the problem might be with the permissions, i gave
all users full permission to all files inside my webapp. but still the
problem persists.

any suggestions?

TIA,
irfan.

Hi again,

So i partially figured the problem out. It's a problem of paths. If i
give absolute paths for the input files it works. here is my directory
structure:

webapp
     |
     |-----------cocoon
                      |
                      |-----------------stream (my webapp)
                                                    |
                                                    |-------------my.exe
                                                   
|-------------my.dat (given as input argument to my.exe)

Now when i give exec("my.exe my.dat"); it doesn't work, although
my.exe is called but it doesn't find my.dat in the same directory!
but if i say exec("my.exe c:\jakarta-cocoon.....\stream\my.dat"); then
it works just fine!

TIA,
Irfan.
