Saving to a subversion repository from Java
command, java, runtime.exec, svn, unix
Solution
Why don't you use something like SVNKit?
SVNKit is a pure Java toolkit - it implements all Subversion features and provides APIs to work with Subversion working copies, access and manipulate Subversion repositories - everything within your Java application.
The benefits are:
- No dependency on subversion binaries being installed;
- Proper errors propagated to Java code instead of checking for return codes and parsing output;
- Easier to make more advanced use-cases work;
All that plus the fun factor of learning a new API.
Problem
I want to save to a subversion repository. I am using the command - svn commit -m \"\" ./cms_test/www My class is: ``` public int doBackup(){ int exitVal=-99; try { Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime(); Process proc = rt.exec("svn commit -m \"\" ./cms_test/www"); exitVal = proc.exitValue(); System.out.println("Process exitValue: " + exitVal); } catch (Throwable t) { t.printStackTrace(); } return exitVal; } ``` Should this work, or is there something else I need to do.
