Run batch with java return error

I need send parameter and execute batch file from java code. I used this method:
private void run(){
if (atmUsernameField.getText().length() > 0 &&
atmPasswordField.getText().length() > 0 &&
serverURLField.getText().length() > 0){
String atmUsername= atmUsernameField.getText();
String atmPassword = atmPasswordField.getText();
String url = serverURLField.getText();
String userHomePath = System.getProperty("user.home");
userHomePath = userHomePath + File.separator + "INFOKIOSK" + File.separator + "device_jar";
String fileName = userHomePath + File.separator + "restart.bat";
if (SystemUtils.IS_OS_WINDOWS_XP || SystemUtils.IS_OS_WINDOWS) {
try {
String processID = ManagementFactory.getRuntimeMXBean().getName();
int endIndex = processID.indexOf("#");
processID = processID.substring(0, endIndex);
new ProcessBuilder("cmd", "/c", "start " + fileName, processID, atmUsername, atmPassword, url).start();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
this is the restart.bat:
TASKKILL /F /PID %1 /T
cd /d %~dp0
java -jar device.jar --atm.autoload.page=%4 --atm.username=%2 --atm.password=%3 -debug
restart.bat need at first killed process where PID = processID
and go to folder where is located he
and running device.jar with parameters.
When I runnin this code on Windows 7 machine, code is worked. If running on Windows XP SP3 machine return error "Not Found C:\Documents ...."
I need running this code on Windows XP machine. where the error is, why the code does not work?

userHomePath contains spaces on winXP.
On Win7 it does not anymore.
Try to add quotes as shown below, it will work in either environment:
new ProcessBuilder("cmd", "/c", "start \"" + fileName + "\"", processID, atmUsername, atmPassword, url).start();
Maybe you'll need to add quotes in your .bat too
cd /d "%~dp0"

executing mysql restore cmd in java runtimeProcess.waitFor() returns 1 always

The following code is always returning 1. I do not understand why.
String executeCmd[] = {"mysql"," -u" + dbUser," -p" + dbPass," -A"," -D"+dbName ," < " + restorePath};
Process runtimeProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(executeCmd);
int processComplete = runtimeProcess.waitFor();
if (processComplete == 0) {
System.out.println("Successfully restored from SQL : " + s);
} else {
System.out.println("Error at restoring");
}

I have grilled my head trying to solve this problem for a week and I have finally figured it out.
The problem is, the < in above code (stream redirection). You cannot use stream redirection when executing a process in Java (it simply does not work in this case).
So, you have to do it without using stream redirection. One way of doing it is:
mysql -u root -p**** --execute "SOURCE \\path\\to\\sql"
Try:
String executeCmd[] = {"mysql"," -u "+dbUser," -p"+dbPass," -A"," -D"+dbName," --execute"," \"SOURCE "+restorePath+"\""};
or simply:
String executeCmd = "mysql -u "+dbUser+" -p"+dbPass+" -A -D "+"dbName -e \"SOURCE "+restorePath+"\"";

Redirect < is interpreted by the command shell. Try
String executeCmd[] =
{"bash", "-c", "mysql", "-u", dbUser, "-p", dbPass, "-A","-D", dbName , "< ", restorePath};

mysqldump file creates an empty sql file

i apply comment 1 and 2 alternatively.But i didn't get myqldump file using java.mysqldump working in cmd. i think in cmd it ask password after typing mysqldump comment. please help me fast.thanks in advance.
String dumpCommand = "C:\\Program Files\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 5.0\\bin\\mysqldump" + " -u " + user + " -p" + " " + database + " > " + path;
**//command 1**
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
File test = new File(path);
PrintStream ps;
try {
// Process child = rt.exec("Cmd /c \"C:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.0/bin/mysqldump\" -u root -p saxco > "+path);//command 2
Process child = rt.exec(dumpCommand);
ps = new PrintStream(test);
InputStream in = child.getInputStream();
int ch;
while ((ch = in.read()) != -1) {
ps.write(ch);
System.out.write(ch);
}

As documented here you can specify the password in the command like this [...] -pPASSWORD [...]. Note that there must not be a space between the -p option flag and the actual password.
Keep in mind that specifying the password this way is a security risk!

If you don't use a password just don't use the -p option too.
String dumpCommand = "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysqldump" + " -u " + user + database + " > " + path;
or this if you have one (without the gaps)
String dumpCommand = "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysqldump" + " -u " + user + " -p" + password + " " + database + " > " + path;

try this-
String cmd="mysqldump -u "+USER+" -p"+PASSWORD+" "+database+" --routines -r"+PATH;
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process exec;
exec = runtime.exec(cmd);
int processComplete = exec.waitFor();
if(processComplete == 0){
System.out.println("Backup taken successfully in "+PATH+" on "+new Date());
} else {
System.out.println("Could not take mysql backup :ERROR:");
}

Error in executing mysql command from java

I was trying to execute the mysql command using java but this always keeps giving error.
String dbName = "dth";
String dbUser = "root";
String dbPass = "root";
String executeCmd = "";
executeCmd = "mysqldump -u " + dbUser + " -p" + dbPass + " " + dbName + " -r C:\\backup.sql";
Process runtimeProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(executeCmd);
int processComplete = runtimeProcess.waitFor();
if (processComplete == 0) {
System.out.println("Backup taken successfully");
} else {
System.out.println("Could not take mysql backup");
}
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
I tried the above code but I couldn't get it done, keeps giving me
CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified
error.
I have tried it by creating a .sql file on the location and still I get the same error.

Add the directory in which mysqldump resides into your path environment variable or use the full pathname I.e c:\directory\mysqldump

Exporting database through my java code

I want to export my MySQL database using my java code. But I have not found any way to do. What I want to do that there is a button in my app as "Export Database". When that button is clicked, my database should be exported to specified path. I have used the following code but it does'nt worked :
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
runtime.exec("C:\\Program Files\\MySql\\MySql Server 5.5\\bin\\mysqldump -u root -p myDatabase> D:\\backup.sql");
How should I do this task. Thanks.

Two problems :
the space between -p and the password
the space inside the path to the executable
Prefer this :
runtime.exec(new String[]{"C:\\Program Files\\MySql\\MySql Server 5.5\\bin\\mysqldump", "-u", "root", "-pmyDatabase" "> D:\\backup.sql"});
Note that if you have a problem with runtime.exec, you should look at the streams you can get from the returned Process. Not looking at those streams in case of error is a little like not looking at the exception when one is thrown.

Backup:
/******************************************************/
//Database Properties
/******************************************************/
String dbName = “dbName”;
String dbUser = “dbUser”;
String dbPass = “dbPass”;
/***********************************************************/
// Execute Shell Command
/***********************************************************/
String executeCmd = “”;
executeCmd = “mysqldump -u “+dbUser+” -p”+dbPass+” “+dbName+” -r backup.sql”;
}
Process runtimeProcess =Runtime.getRuntime().exec(executeCmd);
int processComplete = runtimeProcess.waitFor();
if(processComplete == 0){
out.println(“Backup taken successfully”);
} else {
out.println(“Could not take mysql backup”);
}
Restore:
/******************************************************/
//Database Properties
/******************************************************/
String dbName = “dbName”;
String dbUser = “dbUser”;
String dbPass = “dbPass”;
/***********************************************************/
// Execute Shell Command
/***********************************************************/
String executeCmd = “”;
executeCmd = new String[]{“/bin/sh”, “-c”, “mysql -u” + dbUser+ ” -p”+dbPass+” ” + dbName+ ” < backup.sql” };
}
Process runtimeProcess =Runtime.getRuntime().exec(executeCmd);
int processComplete = runtimeProcess.waitFor();
if(processComplete == 0){
out.println(“success”);
} else {
out.println(“restore failure”);
}

You can try this.
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
{
private String m_MySqlPath="";
ResultSet res=null;
res = DBHandler.getInstance().executeQuery("select ##basedir",null);
while(res.next())
{
m_MySqlPath=res.getString(1) ;
}
m_MySqlPath = m_MySqlPath.replace("\\Data\\", "\\bin\\");
if (exportDB.isSelected()
{
try {
String executeCmd = m_MySqlPath + "\\mysqldump -u " + DB_USER
+" -p" + DB_PASSWORD + " " + DB_NAME + " -r " + "\""+FilePath + "\\"
+ FileName+"\"";
Process runtimeProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(executeCmd, null);
BufferedReader r=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(runtimeProcess.getInputStream()));
String s;
while((s=r.readLine())!=null)
{
System.out.println(s);
}
return true;
}
catch (final Exception ex) {
ex.printstackTrace();
return false;
}
}
