call ODBC Data Source Administrator dialog from java code

try{

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("odbcad32.exe");

} catch(Exception e){

e.printStackTrace();

}

or

try{

ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("odbcad32.exe");

pb.start();

}catch(IOException e){

ioe.printStackTrace();

}

make sure path variable has %SystemRoot%\system32; value.

guess both have to work... :)

NOTE: It is OS Dependent (specially for MS WINDOWS based OS's) & the second method would work for Jdk versions of 5.0 & above..

Hop this would be of some help :)

REGARDS,

How would you do this outside of Java ? Once you know this then you have a chance of writing a Java wrapper to do the job.

P.S. If this is possible outside of Java then I see the potential for a large security hole.
