calling python file from java

[cool]

Hi,
I am writing a code which will call a python file from java as follows :


String test ="python agent.py"+" backup";
Runtime run = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process pr = run.exec(test);


backup is argument passed to agent.py.

but its not working... can anybody help...????

Is there no space between .py and backup? Check the API for how to call exec. You will want to add a space or use an array of Strings. Also, you may need to swallow the streams that the process produces.

Edit: ignore the issue about space, since on re-read, I see you have one. Still if I were you I'd gobble the Streams produced by the process and even print them out. Perhaps the python code is producing an error and you're not seeing it, or perhaps your OS's buffers are so small that a small Stream is filling it and blocking it.
