    Default Problem with Java Path.

    JAVA_PATH in my code is set to "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0"
    Since the path has spaces, double quotes is used while assigning the path to the variable JAVA_PATH. I am executing the command from .bat file as follows-

    set JAVA_PATH="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0"
    set COMMAND_EXEC=%JAVA_PATH%\bin\java -Xmx1024m ...(classpath and program to execute)
    call %COMMAND_EXEC%

    Executing the above command is not initiating the process and is showing error as "The system cannot find the file -Xmx1024m"

    Can someone suggest on this ?

    What happens when you run the command in the command line directly?

    When I run the same in command line, initiates the process without any errors....I wonder how this is happening ? Does the issue lie in evaluating the variables ?

    Sounds like you have a syntax problem in your .bat file then. This is more a scripting question than a Java question. Might want to google how to pass arguments into a script like that.
