Calling Sage from Java

savecancel

Hello CupOfCoffee,

First some caveats: I don't use windows and I've never tried to connect sage to java.

I think you should be able to run programs in Java with ProcessBuilder (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs...). I expect you'd need to pass some parameters to sage to get it working correctly. Here are some relevant links:

• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5... - StackOverflow question on passing parameters to ProcessBuilder
• http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/refer... - Command line options for sage

Then I would think you would want to pass and read commands to Sage through input/output to the process. There is a StackOverflow question addressing this here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1...

I imagine if you want to just do what you are suggesting, this wouldn't be too bad, but if you want to do something more complex, dealing with the input/output could be a pain.

Best, Pat

PS. Sorry for mangling the links. The post wouldn't go through without it.
