About Using Ant in Web Services Tutorial 1.0.1

Question

I downloaded the latest version of the Java Web Services Tutorial 1.0.1 and trying to run the
sa,ple applications from ConvertedApp.java. When I type in "ant build"(ant version is 1.4.1), I
am gettigng the error saying
" Usage is java [options] class ........"
as if implying that the classname is missing somewhere!!
Can anyone please give any clue what might go wrong here?
(I am on Windows 2000).

Hello.
For example, build.xml is in the folder:
d:\jwsdp_tutorial\docs\tutorial\examples\gs\build.xml
Then write a bat-file in the same folder that looks like this:
-------------------- BEGIN --------------------
set JAVA_HOME=d:/j2sdk1.4.1
set ANT_HOME=d:/jakarta-ant-1.5.1
set CATALINA_HOME=d:/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18
%JAVA_HOME%/bin/java -cp %JAVA_HOME%/lib/tools.jar;%JAVA_HOME%/jre/lib/rt.jar;%JAVA_HOME%/jre/lib/jaws.jar;%ANT_HOME%/lib/ant.jar;%ANT_HOME%/lib/optional.jar;%ANT_HOME%/lib/xercesImpl.jar;%ANT_HOME%/lib/xml-apis.jar;%CATALINA_HOME%/server/lib/catalina-ant.jar -Djwsdp.home=d:/jwsdp_tutorial org.apache.tools.ant.Main -logfile build.log -buildfile build.xml
-------------------- END --------------------
Additionally you have to install j2sdk1.4.1, jakarta-ant-1.5.1 and jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18.
