Question

I am working on an application which requires file upload and it also requires
to scan the file with available antivirus on server.

I have heard abt APIS available from Symantec for application server.

Situatuion is like, I need to deploy the application at different places
in the future. So, I am thinking to place a configuration file
from where I am going to fetch available Antivirus & its path.

I want to use any available antivirus on server and then
using command line, I want to pass file name and result back.

I am confused in passing file and retrieving back results.

Is it possible?

Use the following code.

String[] commands =  new String[5];
                  commands[0] = "cmd";
                  commands[1] = "/c";
                  commands[2] = "C:\\Program Files\\AVG\\AVG10\\avgscanx.exe";
                  commands[3] = "/scan=" + filename;
                  commands[4] = "/report=" + virusoutput;


                 Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
                 Process proc = rt.exec(commands);

Commnad line would be better option for you. then read the log file to solve the problem.
