When Runtime.exec() won't - JavaWorld

[anilkumar_vist]

I know to execute it with Runtime.exec(), but it ask path of mysqldump.exe, and it is dependent os installed drive, but i need to run the command independent of password for mysqldump using Runtime.exec()

It's not dependent on OS installed drive but on where the mysqldump.exe program is located. You can't run the command if you don't know where that program is unless if it's already on the PATH. Why do you want it to be run without specifying the password? Are you trying to steal someone's database?

That doesn't mean you know how to do it correctly (which is what the earlier article is for, read it). And, if you know how to execute it, then why didi you ask how to execute it? You need to be a bit more specific in your questions.

but it ask path of mysqldump.exe,

Well, if it's not on the path, of course. Use a properties file or something to designate the full path.

and it is dependent os installed drive,

No, regardless of the OS the arguments to mysqldump are the same. The path may be different, but for that, see above.

but i need to run the command independent of password for mysqldump using Runtime.exec()

You can't, unless you create a user without a password with access to the dbs/tables you need. Not a good idea.
