we are working on a java 8 standalone project, and we need to extract a query log from another application (an .exe), we were using the ODBC tracing to get the logs (manually for each run), but now we need to get them automatically (the other application querys variates depending of a .txt that we edit during the execution).
We need to know if there is a way to start the odbc tracing using java code, or with Runtime code (with cmd). What kind of alternatives we have?.
Setting the Trace key value in the registry should start tracing. Be sure to turn it off when not needed. Here is a PowerShell script to do that.
Push-Location
Set-Location HKCU:\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC
Set-ItemProperty . Trace "1"
# Set-ItemProperty . TraceDll "C:\WINDOWS\system32\odbctrac.dll"
# Set-ItemProperty . TraceFile "$Env:USERPROFILE\SQL.LOG"
Pop-Location
If it must be run from a cmd.exe shell, put the script into traceon.ps1 and use the following command. If you have already configured your machine to be able to run PowerShell scripts, then the -ExecutionPolicy Bypass is not needed.
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File traceon.ps1

I'm running in to an error when I try to run my server application from Eclipse. The error is java.net.BindException: Permission denied. I think this is because I am using port 443 to set up an SSL connection. I can get around this problem if I run my code on the command line using java and sudo. Is there a way to set up Eclipse so that when I hit the run button, my application is executed with sudo?
You can follow these steps to compile/debug applications as superuser.
Rename your java-application
sudo mv /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java.ori
Create following script and store it as /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java
#!/bin/bash
# file: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java
# descr: Starter for jdk. Runs jdk as root when
# cmd-line-arg "--run-as-root" is specified.
#
jre="/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java.ori"
run_as_root=false
args=
# Filter command-line argument
for arg in "$#"
do
case "$arg" in
--run-as-root) run_as_root=true
;;
*) args="$args $arg"
;;
esac
done
# Remove leading whitespaces
args=$(echo $args | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//')
if $run_as_root
then
echo "WARNING: Running as root!"
gksu "$jre $args"
else
$jre $args
fi
Change the permissions to make it executable
sudo chmod 0755 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java
Startup eclipse
Go to Window->Preferences->Java->Installed JREs
Duplicate java-6-openjdk to java-6-openjdk-root
Edit JRE and add "--run-as-root" as Default VM Argument
To run projects as root you need to follow these steps:
Go to Project->Properties->Java Build Path
Double-Click the JRE System Library and choose in Alternate JRE "java-6-openjdk-root"

Assuming you are on Linux (*nix),
How about starting your eclipse session via a sudo command?
Such as
sudo ~/eclipse/eclipse
Now whatever you do from eclipse will have the sudo context?
As mentioned in this thread:
In order to open a port below 1024 on Unix/Linux systems you need to be
"root".
I also used the argument -Dorg.eclipse.equinox.http.jetty.port=8080 to change the listen port, but this seems to be ignored (according to the stacktrace)
Please use "-Dorg.osgi.service.http.port=8080".
As mentioned in HTTP Service:
org.osgi.service.http.port - specifies the port number to use for the http serving. The default value for this property is 80 (which requires root permission), as per the OSGi specification.
org.osgi.service.http.port.secure - specifies the port number to use for secure http serving. The default value for this property is 443 (which requires root permission), as per the OSGi specification.
Maybe if you try to modify that last property to a value above 1024 it could work without requiring any special privilege.
Another option would be to use iptables or ipfilter to forward port 80 to a port above 1024.
(Can someone contribute a link to a practical and easy-to-understand explanation ?)
A better answer, perhaps, if this serves your needs AND is possible, could be simple port redirection on your router.
Instead of trying to force your linux/unix to open a reserved port, when you are only developing this now (not installing) and you want to run it in a debugger,
set your router to redirect incoming (external) port 443 to a port that is more convenient for your current needs (say 4443).
I think most routers support this, and if yours doesn't it gives your mum a good christmas or birthday present idea!
I am writing C not Java but this should work in either case.
I use remote debug - define a "remote" connection to LOCALHOST which allows you to specify the user you will connect with, specify ROOT. Then define a Remote Application in debug configuration connection: LOCALHOST. Be sure to check "skip download to target path" at the bottom of the main tab as well as under the connection properties window.
You can use Remote Java Application mechanism for this.
Create Debug configuration for Remote Java Application
section in Run -> Debug configurations...
Set your project name
Choose Connection type as Standard (Socket Attach)
Configure Connection properties parameters for your binding
(for you it will be localhost and 443).
Set breakpoint in your app (e.g. at the beginning of the main method)
Run your app from terminal as superuser with following command: java -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,address=443 MyApp
Hit debug button in Eclipse for early created Remote Java Application
You code should be stopped on breakpoint in Eclipse!
If you use External tools (Run menu/External tools or an icon next to the Run/Debug icons on the toolbar), you can use any scripts or whatever you like. The scripts may give you elevated rights, or whatever.
On the other hand, this way debugging the application can become very hard, as neither the Run nor Debug commands get associated with this External tool configuration. Maybe it is possible to connect the Eclipse debugger of the application, but I don't know, how that is possible.
You may go this way
create a Makefile with javac calls
add the following line:
setcap 'cap_net_admin=+ep' Server
configure sudo to allow your Eclipse user to run setcap.
So you will have a transparent debugging (no sudo wrapper - gdb ok).
Cons: it is a local security breach.
Solution:
put this to /opt/my-stupid-eclipse
#!/bin/sh
setcap 'cap_net_admin=+ep cap_net_raw=+ep' $1
chmod +x this script and whitelist it on sudo config.
username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /opt/my-stupid-eclipse
Add it to your makefile, specify path to your Server binary.
Now you have pretty strange but secure script, that cannot be changed by other users... and still a little breach for replacing Server binary with any malicious code, that will gain caps, so no filename check/stricts will help.. can $1 be contaminated with bash commands, no? Guess, no.
I've been stuck two weeks trying to figure out how to run this at startup.
I use the following chain of commands on the terminal:
1. source ~/.bashrc
2. source ~/.tinyos.sh
3. java net.tinyos.tools.Listen -comm serial#/dev/ttyUSB0:telosb | python demo.py`
The third command uses java to listen to the serial port and pipes it to a python script which cleans, converts and uploads to mysql localhost.
This works fine on ssh terminal. But ive tried using nohup+update-rc.d, upstart, systemd, crontab to make it run on startup and it just wont work! When I reboot and check logs / database, its as if the command never happened. I need this to run like a daemon and continue running until shutdown.
Thanks a lot.
How are you trying to execute the program ? Are there are permission issues accessing / executing the script ?
Which version of debian are you running - look at upstart scripts if you are running Jesse+
I'd put those three lines in a bash script and use upstart scripts to trigger them on start. Another option is to use supervisord to make sure that your scripts run and restart if for any reason the program crashes.
The following process normally works for my startup scripts. However, when I introduce a command to execute a JAR file, it does not work. This script works while I am logged in. However, it does not work as a startup script.
In /etc/init.d I create a bash script (test.sh) with the following contents:
#!/bin/bash
pw=$(curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id)
pwh=$(/usr/bin/java -jar PWH.jar $pw &)
echo $pwh > test.txt
Make script executable
In /etc/rc.local, I add the following line:
sh /etc/init.d/test.sh
Notes:
I make a reference to the script in /etc/rc.local, because this script needs to run last after all services have started.
Please do not ask me to change the process (i.e., create script in /etc/init.d/ and reference it from /etc/rc.local), because it works for my other startup scripts.
I have tried adding nohup in front of java command, and it still did not work.
Thanks
As written, there is insufficient information to say what is going wrong. There are too many possibilities to enumerate.
Try running those commands one at a time in an interactive shell. The java command is probably writing something to standard error, and that will give you some clues.
The buildear command is as follows :
buildear -s -x /Archive/My_App.archive -o /app/Script_Sql/Jen_Workspace/My_App.ear -p /app/Script_Sql/Jen_Workspace/My_App
The EAR is getting created but i am getting below error :
Caused by: java.awt.HeadlessException:
No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it.

at com.extensibility.rock.l.a(Platform.java:193)
at com.extensibility.rock.u.<clinit>(Screen.java:52)
I did read about Java's "headless" installation capabilty wherein it allows installation without GUI/AWT libraries (please correct me if I am wrong). I tried setting the value of DISPLAY (export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0) but didn't work. Please suggest any solution for this.
FYI - I don't have root or sudo privileges on the UNIX server.
The buildear utility requires an X server to be executed.
To work around this, try adding java.property.java.awt.headless=true in the bwengine.tra. If it doesn't do the trick, you might want to ask your sys admin to install and configure Xvfb, a virtual X server.
