Ant build script not working...

Question

Hi!
I'm having problems using Ant to build a WLI-application in a HP-UX
production environment. I exported the Ant buildscripts in Weblogic
Integration (in NT) and made minor adjustments which do not change
classpaths or anything for the taskdefs used. All of the builds I do for
other parts of the app work just fine, but when compiling the processes
(.jpd-files) I get the following error for each process:
[webappbuild] DESCRIPTION: An I/O Exception occurred while attempting to
write the deployment descriptors for Enterprise Java Beans. Error:
Production rule file
'/com/bea/wlw/runtime/core/bean/codegen/ejb-jar.template' not found.
the "ejb-jar.template' file resides in the knex.jar file which is
included in the classpath used for the build. Can anyone help me out
here on this one? One other thing to mention is that when I build the
application using Workshop in our development environment, there are no
problems, even if we have switched from using the "IDE build" to using
the Ant build even there....
Here is the Antscript for the processes:

I found this post which gave me a clue as to what was happenning: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4653048
The app id was wrong.
