为什么我的curl命令不能与Java ProcessBuilder API一起使用

Question

I want to execute following CURL command from Java:

curl -v -X PUT --data-binary "@configfile.json" -u username:password -D /tmp/grabbit_headers http:// server:port/grabbit/job

(The space between http:// and server... is inserted as per stack overflow guidelines but is not part of my code)

I have followed

http://alvinalexander.com/java/java-exec-processbuilder-process-1 , process2 and process3

to create my java classes that use ProcessBuilder API to execute shell commands.

If I execute the CURL command directly on the shell, it works and produces expected results. If I use the exact same command via Java classes, it executes without any errors, with exitCode=0, but does not product intended result.

Intended result here is to use Grabbit ( https://github.com/TWCable/grabbit ) to migrate content from one Adobe AEM instance to another.

Here are my primary methods:

public String processBuilderExample() throws IOException, InterruptedException
{


    // build the system command we want to run
  List<String> commands;
  String result="";      
  /*
   * CURL Commands:
   * curl -v -X PUT --data-binary "@$configpath" -u $username:$password -D /tmp/grabbit_headers $client$GRABBIT_JOB > /tmp/grabbit
   * */
  String curl_command="curl -v -X PUT --data-binary \"@"+this.configpath+"\""+" -u "+this.username+":"+this.password+" -D /tmp/grabbit_headers "+this.client+this.GRABBIT_JOB;

  commands = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(curl_command.split(" ")));      

  result=runCommand(commands);
  return result;

}

//@Override
public String runCommand(List<String> commands) throws IOException, InterruptedException
{

  // execute the command
  SystemCommandExecutor commandExecutor = new SystemCommandExecutor(commands);
  int result = commandExecutor.executeCommand();

  // get the stdout and stderr from the command that was run
  StringBuilder stdout = commandExecutor.getStandardOutputFromCommand();
  StringBuilder stderr = commandExecutor.getStandardErrorFromCommand();

  StringBuilder finalReturnString=new StringBuilder();
  finalReturnString.append("<br/>STDOUT:<br/>");
  finalReturnString.append(stdout.toString());
  finalReturnString.append("<br/>STDERR:<br/>");
  finalReturnString.append(stderr.toString());

  return finalReturnString.toString();

}

Use ProcessBuilder to configure the redirect.

">" redirect is part of the shell (sh/bash) and not a command.

Refer to Runtime's exec() method is not redirecting the output on how to use process builder to redirect.

Refer to &> redirection not working correctly on why it doesn't work.
