Hi Guys,
i've developed chat program using Swing named server.java and clientRunner.java..
i created a batch file(one 4 each server.bat & client.bat) to execute that java file so that i donnt have to open the commad prompt and run it using tat everytime...then i wanted that batch file to run with command prompt hidden so i created .vbs file(again one 4 each server.vbs & client.vbs)..
so then i executed this file using java code..it worked but i want to run it with jsp file...then i embedded that java code in jsp and i run that file using Netbeans 6.5..the browser window opens but nothing happens...if not with jsp atleast help me with executing .vbs file using html...i tried with form action but i jus displays the code ...pls help me :) :)

Hi jayeth,

I hope an example how you can run a VBscript in a html page will get you going again:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/vbscript">
<!--
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set objAccount = objWMIService.Get _
  ("Win32_SID.SID='S-1-5-21-220523388-1844823847-682003330-500'")
document.write(objAccount.AccountName)
-->
</script>
</body>
</html>

The script get's the name of the useraccount that belongs to that SID.
To get a result the SID has to exist on your computer.

Can you post the exact text of the syntax error?

I think it should be:
<!-- 
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run("f:/code_proj/pendir/chatt/final/client/client.bat",0,False)
Set WshShell = Nothing
-->

but I can't test it here.

missing ; before statement looks to me like the program expects it to be a comment
I'm not familiar with that program so I could be wrong.

And the file not found could be about the bat you are trying to run. Did you make sure that the path is correct?

Line 7 is the line where we point it to the .bat

If you paste this in the Command prompt
f:/code_proj/pendir/chatt/final/client/client.bat
does the file run?

OK that rules that out. I'll have to do some testing when I get home. (a few hours from now)
I'll post back later.

Looks like I put you on the wrong track. :)

This works for me:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/vbscript">
<!-- 
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "f:\code_proj\pendir\chatt\final\client\client.bat",0
Set WshShell = Nothing
-->
</script>
</body>
</html>

Looks to me like the error is thrown when the bat starts the java.
I must admit that I don't understand why it would run if you execute it directly and fail when we call it from the html file. :)
