I'm building a Python UI using Tkinter. For the needs of the program, I've to connect Python with Java to do some stuff, so I'm using a simple Jython script as a linker. I cant use Tkinter with Jython because it's not supported.
Python (ui.py) -> Jython (linker.py) -> Java (compiled in jars)
To call the Jython function in Python I use subprocess as follows:
ui.py:
cmd = 'jython linker.py"'
my_env = os.environ
my_env["JYTHONPATH"] = tons_of_jars
subprocess.Popen(cmd, shell=True, env=my_env)
Then, in the Jython file, linker.py, I import the Java classes already added on the JYTHONPATH, and I create an object with the name m and call to some functions of the Java class.
linker.py:
import handler.handler
m = handler.handler(foo, moo, bar)
m.schedule(moo)
m.getFullCalendar()
m.printgantt()
The thing is that I've created a m object, that will be destroyed after the execution of jython linker.py ends.
So the question is: Is possible to save that m object somewhere so I can call it from ui.py whenever I want? If it's not possible, is there any other way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
I finally solved it by using ObjectOutputStream.
from java import io
def saveObject(x, fname="object.bin"):
outs = io.ObjectOutputStream(io.FileOutputStream(fname))
outs.writeObject(x)
outs.close()
def loadObject(fname="object.bin"):
ins = io.ObjectInputStream(io.FileInputStream(fname))
x=ins.readObject()
ins.close()
return x

I want to use matlab function in java application. I create java package from my function by deploytool in matlab. Now, how can i use this package? Can only import the jar file created by deploytool in my java project and use its function?
After a lot of googling, I used this toturial but in the final step, i get error "could not load file".
Also i read about MatlabControl, but in this solution, we should have matlab environment in our system to java code running. But i will run my final app in systems that may not have matlab at all.
So i need a solution to run matlab function in java class even in absence of matlab environment.
Finally I solve my problem. the solution step by step is as follows:
write matlab function:
function y = makesqr(x)
y = magic(x);
Use deploytool in matlab and create java package.
3.create new java application in Eclipse and add main class. import javabuilde.jar and makesqr.jar:
import com.mathworks.toolbox.javabuilder.MWArray;
import com.mathworks.toolbox.javabuilder.MWClassID;
import com.mathworks.toolbox.javabuilder.MWNumericArray;
import makesqr.Class1;
and main.java:
public class main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
MWNumericArray n = null;
Object[] result = null;
Class1 theMagic = null;
try
{
n = new MWNumericArray(Double.valueOf(5),MWClassID.DOUBLE);
theMagic = new Class1();
result = theMagic.makesqr(1, n);
System.out.println(result[0]);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println("Exception: " + e.toString());
}
finally
{
MWArray.disposeArray(n);
MWArray.disposeArray(result);
theMagic.dispose();
}
}
}
add javabuilder.jar and makesqr.jar to java build path of your project.
run it.
the Double.valueOf(3), define the input for our function and the output is as follows:
8 1 6
3 5 7
4 9 2
I didn't get properly your problem. Did you already compile the jar file from Matlab code and you are trying to use that, or you are at the last step of the tutorial?
If your answer is the latest case, most probably you forgot the "." before the class path.
From tutorial you linked:
You must be sure to place a dot (.) in the first position of the class path. If it not, you get a message stating that Java cannot load the class.
Also check if the matlab compiler path ("c:\Program Files\MATLAB\MATLAB Compiler Runtime\v82\toolbox\javabuilder\jar\javabuilder.jar" - in the tutorial) is correct for your system.
I have a Java program that makes some changes to a matlab file that reads and executes a function. Is there a way to invoke and run this read.m file through the Java program without having to open Matlab? I tried searching matlabcontrol documentation but I didnt find anything relevant. I would appreciate it if anyone could guide me through.
Thank you in advance.
public static void tomatlab() throws MatlabConnectionException, MatlabInvocationException {
MatlabProxyFactoryOptions options =
new MatlabProxyFactoryOptions.Builder()
.setUsePreviouslyControlledSession(true)
.build();
MatlabProxyFactory factory = new MatlabProxyFactory(options);
MatlabProxy proxy = factory.getProxy();
proxy.eval("addpath('C:\\path_to_m_file)");
proxy.feval("read");
proxy.eval("rmpath('C:\\path_to_m_file')");
// close connection
proxy.disconnect();
}
You need a runtime environment vor M-code. Possibilities I see are:
use Matlab control which opens matlab
use builder ja which deploys a jar including the necessary parts of the runtime
if your M-code is compatible to octave, you can use the c++ interface of octave to create a dll, which can be used independent from Matlab .

Calling Java app with “subprocess” from Python and reading the Java app output
Basically what I am looking for is, I want to interact with java program while its running using python so I can access its output and pass input to it.
I have managed to run a Java program using python. I want to know can i access the outputs of java program in my python program.
For example.
In java program: System.out.println("Enter no.");
In python i should be able to get "Enter no" as string and also pass value to java program from python.a
What I managed to do till no :
Python program :
import sys
import os.path,subprocess
def compile_java(java_file):
subprocess.check_call(['javac', java_file])
def execute_java(java_file):
java_class,ext = os.path.splitext(java_file)
cmd = ['java', java_class]
subprocess.call(cmd, shell=False)
def run_java(java_file):
compile_java(java_file)
execute_java(java_file)
Java Program :
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
class Hi
{
public static void main(String args[])throws IOException
{
Scanner t=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter any integer");
int str1=t.nextInt();
System.out.println("You entered"+str1);
}
}
Thanx :)
If all you need is to get the output from a non-interactive execution of your Java program, use subprocess.check_output instead of subprocess.call.
http://docs.python.org/library/subprocess.html
You need Python 2.7 or newer for check_output to be available.
If you need to interact with the Java program, you can do so using Popen.communicate, where you can read the process's output and send stuff to its input using file descriptors.
You can also use the pexpect python library to automate this kind of interaction, pexpect abstracts a lot of the legwork involved in using Popen.communicate.
Note that these techniques apply for any kind of executable you need your Python program to interact with, not just Java; as long as it uses stdin and stdout, using these calls should work for you.
The easiest way would be to use Jython, which is a complete Python implementation that runs in the JVM, and can interact with native Java code. But if you want to use CPython, and generally continue down the path you've sketched out above, you'll want to create a live Python Popen object that you can interact with. For example:
import sys
import os.path,subprocess
def compile_java(java_file):
subprocess.check_call(['javac', java_file])
def execute_java(java_file):
java_class,ext = os.path.splitext(java_file)
cmd = ['java', java_class]
return subprocess.Popen(cmd, shell=True, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
def run_java(java_file):
compile_java(java_file)
process = execute_java(java_file)
for i in range(10):
process.stdin.write(str(i) + "\n")
I have been looking for an answer for how to execute a java jar file through python and after looking at:
Execute .jar from Python
How can I get my python (version 2.5) script to run a jar file inside a folder instead of from command line?
How to run Python egg files directly without installing them?
I tried to do the following (both my jar and python file are in the same directory):
import os
if __name__ == "__main__":
os.system("java -jar Blender.jar")
and
import subprocess
subprocess.call(['(path)Blender.jar'])
Neither have worked. So, I was thinking that I should use Jython instead, but I think there must a be an easier way to execute jar files through python.
Do you have any idea what I may do wrong? Or, is there any other site that I study more about my problem?
I would use subprocess this way:
import subprocess
subprocess.call(['java', '-jar', 'Blender.jar'])
But, if you have a properly configured /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/jar you should be able to run the jar directly, as you wrote.
So, which is exactly the error you are getting?
Please post somewhere all the output you are getting from the failed execution.
This always works for me:
from subprocess import *
def jarWrapper(*args):
process = Popen(['java', '-jar']+list(args), stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE)
ret = []
while process.poll() is None:
line = process.stdout.readline()
if line != '' and line.endswith('\n'):
ret.append(line[:-1])
stdout, stderr = process.communicate()
ret += stdout.split('\n')
if stderr != '':
ret += stderr.split('\n')
ret.remove('')
return ret
args = ['myJarFile.jar', 'arg1', 'arg2', 'argN'] # Any number of args to be passed to the jar file
result = jarWrapper(*args)
print result
I used the following way to execute tika jar to extract the content of a word document. It worked and I got the output also. The command I'm trying to run is "java -jar tika-app-1.24.1.jar -t 42250_EN_Upload.docx"
from subprocess import PIPE, Popen
process = Popen(['java', '-jar', 'tika-app-1.24.1.jar', '-t', '42250_EN_Upload.docx'], stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE)
result = process.communicate()
print(result[0].decode('utf-8'))
Here I got result as tuple, hence "result[0]". Also the string was in binary format (b-string). To convert it into normal string we need to decode with 'utf-8'.
With args: concrete example using Closure Compiler (https://developers.google.com/closure/) from python
import os
import re
src = test.js
os.execlp("java", 'blablabla', "-jar", './closure_compiler.jar', '--js', src, '--js_output_file', '{}'.format(re.sub('.js$', '.comp.js', src)))
(also see here When using os.execlp, why `python` needs `python` as argv[0])
How about using os.system() like:
os.system('java -jar blabla...')
os.system(command)
Execute the command (a string) in a subshell. This is implemented by calling the Standard C function system(), and has the same limitations. Changes to sys.stdin, etc. are not reflected in the environment of the executed command.

How to run a python script from java?
I am running a Python script using Jython and got this error:
Exception in thread "main" Traceback (innermost last): File "C:\Facebook\LoginPython\Facebook.py", line 5, in ? ImportError: no module named cookielib
Why doesn't this work?
A little bit more about using Jython - had my share of problems with that as well. Note that this may not be the best way to do it, but it works fine for me.
I assume you want to call a function foo in module bar from your Java code that takes a string argument and returns a string:
PythonInterpreter interpreter = new PythonInterpreter();
// Append directory containing module to python search path and import it
interpreter.exec("import sys\n" + "sys.path.append(pathToModule)\n" +
"from bar import foo");
PyObject meth = interpreter.get("foo");
PyObject result = meth.__call__(new PyString("Test!"));
String real_result = (String) result.__tojava__(String.class);
The sys.path.append() part is only necessary if your module isn't part of the Python search path by default, which may very well be the problem if you get Import or Module not find errors.
Also you need to cast the objects between the java and python versions, you'll need to look that up if necessary, so far I only needed primitive types that were easy to cast, not sure if it's as easy for arbitrary java objects.
Use Jython to run Python on the JVM. Use PyDev to develop with Python (or Jython) on Eclipse.
