unable to open url through JLabel link in Windows 7

[neil.abbott1]

Hi,

I am trying to open a url by clicking over the link of JLabel in Windows 7 (32 -bit) but unable to do so. After clicking on the link, it doesn't do anything. Although, it is opening the file successfully.It used to work in XP.

The code is as follows:

String osname = System.getProperties().getProperty("os.name").toUpperCase();
if (osname.startsWith("WINDOWS")){
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 SHELL32.DLL,ShellExec_RunDLL \"" + path + "\"");
}
else{
String[] commands = {"start", "\"\"", path};
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(commands);
}

I would appreciate your help.

See if the browse() method of the Desktop class works for you.

String[] cmd = new String[5];
cmd[0] = "cmd.exe";
cmd[1] = "/C";
cmd[2] = "start";
cmd[3] = "\"\"";
cmd[4] = path;

try {
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
}
catch (IOException e) {
}

The above code worked. Thanks anyway!
