Hello Folks,

I deal with the following problem.

I would like to start a DOS-Program(which needs dos4gw.exe) under Windows.
The Shell Command given down is correct: I tried it under the
Windows-Commandshell and it works fine.

Now I have following program in Java which should do quite the same:

try{Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("d:\ascsrc\dos4gw.exe
d:\ascsrc\a2m204.exe d:\ascsrc\Awi_l1.asc d:\ascsrc\Awi_l1.mat");
DataInputStream ls_in = new DataInputStream(p.getInputStream());
while ((ls_str = ls_in.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(ls_str);
}
}catch (IOException e){e.printStackTrace();};

.... but unfortunality it appears (or happened) nothing, not even an error
like an IOException or something else. I also tried the getErrorStream
method and thought that this would produce an errorstream, but it doesn't.

Has anyone of you an idea, of what is going on here?

Many thanks in advance
Rafael

use the most generic
.... catch (Exception e) {System.out.println(e.toString());}

My first guess is that this is SecurityException
