I'm having a problem using the keytool distributed
with the JDK from a servlet running on Tomcat. Using the keytool from the
command line requires a command like the following:
/usr/local/jdk1.2.2/bin/keytool -genkey -dname "cn=eForms Demo " -alias
demoAlias -keypass demoPassword -keystore
/us/local/tomcat/webapps/eform/WEB-INF/keystore/file.keystore -storepass
irgkeystore -validity 365".
When I enter the command at the comman line, it
works perfectly. When I try to run it from the Servlet, it doesn't work.
To run it from the servlet, I used the
Runtime.exec(String [] cmd) where cmd is a array holding each of the
commands. It looks like the following:
cmd[0] = KEY_TOOL_PATH;
cmd[1] = COMMAND_GENERATE_KEY; cmd[2] = COMMAND_DISTINGUISHED_NAME + "\"cn=" + userName + "\""; cmd[3] = COMMAND_ALIAS + keyAlias; cmd[4] = COMMAND_KEY_PASSWORD + keyPassword; cmd[5] = COMMAND_KEY_STORE_PATH + keyStorePath; cmd[6] = COMMAND_KEY_STORE_PASSWORD + keyStorePassword; cmd[7] = COMMAND_DAYS_VALID + numberOfDaysKeyIsValid; I even tried sending the command as one String
using the Runtime.exec(command.toString()) method where command is a
StringBufger like th following:
StringBuffer command = new
StringBuffer();
command.append(KEY_TOOL_PATH); command.append(COMMAND_GENERATE_KEY); command.append(COMMAND_DISTINGUISHED_NAME); command.append("\"cn="); command.append(userName); command.append("\""); command.append(COMMAND_ALIAS); command.append(keyAlias); command.append(COMMAND_KEY_PASSWORD); command.append(keyPassword); command.append(COMMAND_KEY_STORE_PATH); command.append(keyStorePath); command.append(COMMAND_KEY_STORE_PASSWORD); command.append(keyStorePassword); command.append(COMMAND_DAYS_VALID); command.append(numberOfDaysKeyIsValid); I even tried using the example from Jason
Hunter's Servlet book that says use a shell and that didn't work either. The
array is constructed like the following where command is the StringBuffer
above:
String [] cmd = new
String[3];
cmd[0] = "/bin/csh"; cmd[1] = "-c"; cmd[2] = command.toString(); In all my attemps, an exception is not
thrown, the keystore is not created, and the exit value of the process is
not 0. An exit value of 0 would indicate that the command was executed
properly. Is this a tomcat bug?
