Question

I’m writing a program to find the file size of files.

Is it possible in java?

In PHP I know there is a filesize().

Another alternative was using ab http:// in unix but how is it integratabtle with java?

What do you think is the best/most efficient way to attack this?

Answer 1

You can use java Runtime to execute the command and read the output from the buffer and display it.

        Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
        Process proc = rt.exec("ab http://whatever ");
        // read the stream into the buffer and display the results.

If you have the file locally, then you can use File.length()
