Method Detail

createBundleIfNeeded

public static com.webobjects.foundation.NSBundle createBundleIfNeeded(String name)

Hack to create a bundle after the app is loaded. Useful for the insistence of EOF on JavaXXXAdaptor bundles.

name -

Returns:

a new bundle under the system temp directory

loadBundleIfNeeded

public static com.webobjects.foundation.NSBundle loadBundleIfNeeded(File bundleFile)

Load an application, framework or jar bundle if not already loaded.

Parameters:

bundleFile - - the directory or archive (e.g., jar, war) of the bundle to load

the bundle found at the given uri.

Throws:

com.webobjects.foundation.NSForwardException - if bundle loading fails

informationForException

public static NSMutableDictionary<String,Object> informationForException(Exception e)

Returns a dictionary with useful stuff.

Parameters:

e -

informationForBundles

informationForContext

public static NSMutableDictionary<String,Object> informationForContext(com.webobjects.appserver.WOContext context)

originalThrowable

public static Throwable originalThrowable(Throwable t)

Retrieves the actual cause of an error by unwrapping them as far as possible, i.e. NSForwardException.originalThrowable(), InvocationTargetException.getTargetException() or Exception.getCause() are regarded as actual causes.

executeCommandLineCommandWithArgumentsWithEnvVarsInWorkingDir

public static final ERXRuntimeUtilities.Result executeCommandLineCommandWithArgumentsWithEnvVarsInWorkingDir(String[] command,
                                                                                                             String[] envp,

Excecutes the specified command line commands. If envp is not null the environment variables are set before executing the command.

Parameters:

command - the commands to execute like "ls -la" or "cp /tmp/file1 /tmp/file2" or "open /Applications/*.app" new String[]{"ls", "-la"} new String[]{"cp", "/tmp/file1", "/tmp/file2"} new String[]{"open", "/Applications/*.app"}

envp - a String array which represents the environment variables like String[] envp = new String[]{"PATH=/usr/bin:/bin", "CVS_RSH=ssh"}, can be null

dir - a File object representing the working directory, can be null

Returns:

the results from the processes that were executed

Throws:

IOException - if something went wrong

executeCommandLineCommandsWithEnvVarsInWorkingDir

public static final ERXRuntimeUtilities.Result[] executeCommandLineCommandsWithEnvVarsInWorkingDir(String[][] commands,
                                                                                                   String[] envp,

Excecutes the specified command line commands. If envp is not null the environment variables are set before executing the command.

Parameters:

commands - the commands to execute, this is an String array with two dimensions the following commands
"ls -la" or "cp /tmp/file1 /tmp/file2" or "open /Applications/*.app"
would be as String arrays

     new String[] { 
        new String[] { "ls", "-la" },
        new String[] { "cp", "/tmp/file1", "/tmp/file2" },
        new String[] { "open", "/Applications/*.app" } 
     }
 

envp - a String array which represents the environment variables like String[] envp = new String[]{"PATH=/usr/bin:/bin", "CVS_RSH=ssh"}, can be null

dir - a File object representing the working directory, can be null

Returns:

the results from the processes that were executed

Throws:

IOException - if something went wrong

execute

public static final ERXRuntimeUtilities.Result execute(String[] command,
                                                       String[] envp,
                                                       File dir,
                                                       long timeout)
                                                throws IOException,
                                                       ERXRuntimeUtilities.TimeoutException

Excecutes the specified command line commands. If envp is not null the environment variables are set before executing the command. This method supports timeout's. This is quite important because its -always- possible that a UNIX or WINDOWS process does not return, even with simple shell scripts. This is due to whatever bugs and hence every invocation of Process.waitFor() should be observed and stopped if a certain amount of time is over.

Parameters:

command - the commands to execute, this is an String array with two dimensions the following commands
"ls -la" or "cp /tmp/file1 /tmp/file2" or "open /Applications/*.app"
would be as String arrays

 new String[] { new String[] { "ls", "-la" },
      new String[] { "cp", "/tmp/file1", "/tmp/file2" },
      new String[] { "open", "/Applications/*.app" } }
 

envp - a String array which represents the environment variables like String[] envp = new String[]{"PATH=/usr/bin:/bin", "CVS_RSH=ssh"}, can be null

dir - a File object representing the working directory, can be null

timeout - a long which can be either 0 indicating this method call waits until the process exits or any long number larger than 0 which means if the process does not exit after timeout milliseconds then this method throws an ERXTimeoutException

Returns:

the results from the processes that were executed

Throws:

IOException - if something went wrong

ERXRuntimeUtilities.TimeoutException

freeProcessResources

public static void freeProcessResources(Process p)

checkThreadInterrupt

public static void checkThreadInterrupt()

When you have an inner loop and you want to be able to bail out on a stop request, call this method and you will get interrupted when another thread wants you to.

public static void addThreadInterrupt(Thread thread,
                                      String message)
