Problems with wlserver ant task for WL 8.1

hi
i have a problem with using wlserver ant task for Weblogic 8.1
basically i want to start the server that is already preconfigured and deploy
one ear.
here's what i do:
<taskdef name="wlserver" classname="weblogic.ant.taskdefs.management.WLServer">
<classpath refid="lib.classpath"/>
</taskdef>
<wlserver action="start" dir="D:/BEA/user_projects/domains/mydomain"
output="wls81.log"/>
(and then the deployment task - irrelevant here)
the classpath is generated automatically and includes all jars in the specific
project directory:
     <path id="lib.classpath">
     <fileset dir="${proj.lib.dir}">
          <include name="**/*.jar"/>
     </fileset>
     </path>
(weblogic.jar is there as well)
the problem is when i run it, the following happens:
- if i have action="start" (or no action attribute at all), i get the following
exception:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at weblogic.Home.<init>(Home.java:29)
at weblogic.Home.getInstance(Home.java:86)
at weblogic.Home.getPath(Home.java:94)

- if i change it to action="startup" as specified on "wlserver Ant Task Reference"
it seems that this task is skipped completely. no error messages, no stack trace,
nothing. i tried -verbose and -debug options on ant, but there're no logs displayed
whatsoever. it takes less than a second to run this task so i presume it's just
getting skipped completely.
i run this from the standalone Ant 1.5.4 on Windows environment.
i've followed the topic "wlserver Ant task for WebLogic 8.1" where kind of similar
problem is described but putting weblogic.jar on the system CLASSPATH is not an
option for this project.
anyone has any idea about how to get this going?
cheers

sounds bug to me. NPE should be correctly handled with appropriate error
message. Please contact BEA support to log the call.

Ant tasks for creating ADF Library

Created an ADF declarative component, exported it as an ADF library and got it working fine. The ADF Library jar was created within JDeveloper by setting up a Deployment profile. The created ADF Library file has the TLD file and TagHandler / Component class files created on the fly and packaged.
Not sure of how We could get the same ADF library created by an Ant task. Are there Ant tasks for creating ADF library available? http://www.connotea.org/user/jdeveloper/tag/ant has some details on the JDeveloper based ant tasks but doesn't have details on creating ADF library.

You can use the ojdeply executable to create and deploy your ADF Library from the commandline:
<Jdev-install-location>/jdeveloper/jdev/bin/ojdeploy -workspace /mydirectory/yourworkspace.jws -profile yourprofile -project yourproject.jpr

Ant tasks for portal's dpadmin and par commands

Has anyone written ant tasks for the dpadmin and par commands? If you look at the shell scripts for dpadmin and par, they are just setting up environment for java method invocation and command-line parsing.

I created some simple targets to deploy my portlets (copy jsp files and classes to appropriate directories) and the declare them with a target that invoked the dpadmin tool on my desktop xml file. I had experimented around with changing the directory priviledges in order to run my build script as a user other than root but had little success. I am sure building a custom ant task wrapped around dpadmin and par commands would be trivial to implement.

Ant tasks for oracle

Can anyone tell me where I can get this ant task "<oracle:shutdownServer|restartServer ..>" which is clearly documented in the Oracle PDF - "Oracle Containers for J2EE Deployment Guide"
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32110_01/web.1013/b28951.pdf
I have the ant-oracle-classes.jar for our 10.1.3.1 and have searched the antlib.xml contained within the jar and there is no reference to these tasks.
I have searched all jars in our oracle base and there are no references to these ant taskdefs anywhere.
Is there a patch for this, our is there a seperate download required?
Thanks for any help on this,
JP.

John this issue looks similar to bug 6020713 raised against 10.1.3.2 OC4J on solaris, which states that antlib.xml file is missing the following values.
< taskdef name="restartServer" classname="oracle.ant.taskdefs.deploy.JSR88StartServer"/>
< taskdef name="shutdownServer" classname="oracle.ant.taskdefs.deploy.JSR88ShutdownServer"/>
It looks like 10.1.3.1 also has this issue on windows as the classes exist in the ant-oracle-classes.jar.
You should raise an SR to clarify this oracle support.

Using Eclipse Ant tasks - for web service client creation

Hi,
I am following Eclipse documentation for creating Axis runtime environment web services and clients using web services Ant tasks.
As per document when I import Ant files into workspace, files that will be imported are wsgen.xml (Ant file) , axisservice.properties and axisclient.properties but for me these files are not getting imported into the project instead files axis_bujava.properties and axis_bujava.xml are imported.
Please do let me know if anyone have any ideas on this asap.
Thanks,
Roopa.

Ant Tasks for Pointbase

In the online Docs, I found info regarding creating ant tasks to start and configure
the WebLogic server. But I would like to also have an ant task that will start
Pointbase. I have created ant tasks that will connect to pointbase and create/fill
a database and another ant task that will drop a database. But I can't find any
info about starting the Pointbase database. All of the BEA documentation only
says to manually start the Pointbase database and then continue.
Has anyone created or knows of an ant task that will launch Pointbase?? In my
case, I'm only trying to launch and use Pointbase from the BEA directories.
Jerald

We have an ant task, but we dont doc it. This is in 8.1
<taskdef name="pointbase"

<property name="pointbase.dbfile"
value="${database.dir}/${pointbase.db.name}.dbn"/>
<property name="pointbase.log" value="pointbase.log"/>
<property name="pointbase.driver"

<property name="pointbase.url"
value="jdbc:pointbase:server://${pointbase.host}:${pointbase.port}/${pointba
se.db.name}"/>
<property name="pointbase.url.new"
value="jdbc:pointbase:server://${pointbase.host}:${pointbase.port}/${pointba

<target name="db.start">

<echo message="Starting Pointbase..."/>
<pointbase displaylevel="3" file="${pointbase.log}"

Where do I find the ANT task for creating ear file in WLI

Hi friends
I was trying to create an ear file out of my process definitions and deploy on weblogic instead of deploying it from Workshop. I heard that there are ANT tasks available that do this but I couldn't find much detail.
I was wondering if somebody can point me to any documentation or anything that'll help me achieve this.
Thanks.

JDeveloper 10g, ADF, ANT:How to define ant task for EAR & WAR file creation

I am trying to automate the deployment process of our ADF Faces & BC application. I have reviewed this doc:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/web.1013/b28951/anttasks.htm
and followed the procedure for integrating ant onto the server. I can build the project and also successfully deploy the ear file. Howerver, I did not find any instruction on how to generate the EAR file. Can anyone point me to the right place for this task definition?
Here is my current build.xml file.

Thanks all for the tips. After reading up a bit today on ear/war files and ant. I ended up just creating a task to mimic the ear/war file structure. My script isnt pretty but I'll work on refining that later. Here is what I have if anyone ever is interested:

Javafx ant task for msvcr100.dll

I had the problem that the native exe-install package generated did not work.
As I read in this forum, it is a problem with the Inno Setup tool, which generates a launcher that fails to load msvcr100.dll on 32-bit machines (if no JRE is installed)!
The workaround (which is also used by the JavaFX Scene Builder) is to add a copy of msvcr100.dll either next to the launcher executable or in the apps folder.
How can I modify build.xml (I am using Netbeans 7.4) to add this file to the native installer?
I am trying to add some -pre-jfx-deploy target which adds msvcr100.dll as a resource:
          <fx:resources id="appRes">
                <fx:fileset requiredFor="startup" dir="${basedir}">
                    <include name="msvcr100.dll"/>
                </fx:fileset>
            </fx:resources>
but I cannot get it to work. The file never ends up in the on-click-installer exe.

Thanks for replying.
I think you're right about the need to copy the files into the directories that the DMG maker are using.
The problem is I don't know what directories DMG maker are using as the source.
For example, if I have a manual.pdf file that I want to copy to a Doc folder (see below), how can I do that?
My shell script looks like this:
cp "/Users/ytw/Documents/dev/src/myApp/doc/manual.pdf" "/Users/ytw/Documents/dev/src/myApp/dist/bundles/myApp.app/Contents/doc"Manual.pdf got copied to the app bundle's Contents directory correctly, but apparently, DMG maker is not reading from there OR DMG maker finished packaging before the file was copied.
- myApp.app
        - Contents (folder)
                - Java (folder)
                - MacOS (folder)
                - PlugIns (folder)
                - Resources (folder)
                - Doc (folder)
                        - manual.pdf (file)Thanks.

Does compiling an advanced datagrid using flex ant task require additional config other than the license property?

Hi,
    I am trying to build my Flex app which uses the Advanced Data Grid in a couple of locations. Originally, when I built the app using the flex ant tasks, I noticed the Visualization Trial watermark show up on the screen. I then added the license tag with the serial number to my flex-config.xml and re-ran my ant build. The watermark goes away, but then when I look at the advanced datagrid, the datagrid shows up with the hierarchy, but the data does not display in the grid (only the group by nodes are visible, not the data for the leaf elements). This works fine when I build the app using my Flex Builder. Is there something I am missing or need to add to my flex ant task to make this work?
Any help or guidance is much appreciated.
The following is the ant task to build the module that uses the ADG:
    <target name="compile-modules" depends="compile-shared">
        
        <echo>Compiling module 1...</echo>
        <mxmlc file="${modulesrc.dir}\ui\modules\mod1\Module1.mxml"
                output="${dist.dir}\modules\mod1\Module1.swf"
                actionscript-file-encoding="UTF-8"
                incremental="true"
                default-background-color="0xFFFFFF"
                use-network="false"
                load-externs="${extern-report-xml}">
            <load-config filename="${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks/flex-config.xml" />
            <source-path path-element="${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks"/>
            
            <compiler.source-path path-element="${modulesrc.dir}"/>
            
            <compiler.library-path dir="${main.dir}" append="true">
                <include name="${lib.dir}"/>
            </compiler.library-path>
            <compiler.library-path dir="${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks" append="true">

Building from flex builder vs ant task

I have a flex application written using flex builder. When I
build it and run it using flex builder, or create an air file from
flex builder and run that, then my application works just fine.
However, I would like people without copies of flexBuilder
installed to be able to build my application, so I am using the
flex ant task (flex-mxmlc) to build my application. As far as I can
tell I have the same configuration, and the same libraries included
in the ant task. However, when I run the air file generated by the
ant task nothing happens. If you look in the task manager, you can
see that the application is running, but the main window for the
application never appears.
I tried running the swf through a debug version of flash to
get some log output, and I am getting a bunch of exceptions, the
first of which is:
VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.display::NativeWindow
could not be found.
at flash.display::MovieClip/nextFrame()
at mx.managers::SystemManager/deferredNextFrame()
at
mx.managers::SystemManager/preloader_initProgressHandler()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at mx.preloaders::Preloader/timerHandler()
at flash.utils::Timer/_timerDispatch()
at flash.utils::Timer/tick()
It seems like it might not be finding the main flex library
(flexlib.swc), is that where that class would be? In my ant task I
have an include-libraries tag that points to that file.
Anyone have any ideas?

I experienced a similar problem (although the class that
could not be found was different for me). Googling around I found
someone who had a similar problem and claimed that using the
flexlib.swc library was the culprit.
The root of the problem is that the Flex SDK that comes
bundled with the Flex Builder has libraries (under frameworks/libs)
that are NOT included in plain free Flex SDK that you and I are
presumably using on our build machines.
When flexlib.swc is linked in, it causes certain classes to
be required at runtime. Apparently when you compile these classes
are linked in if available, but when they are not the compilation
still succeeds. Only you get a VerifyError when you run the thing.
What worked for me was to copy all the additional .swc files
found in my Flex Builder SDK's frameworks/libs directory to the
same directory on my build machine. Also you will need to copy the
additional files under frameworks/locale/en_US.
Rebuild and clear your browser's cache and it should then
work.

Ant tasks for mxmlc/compc?
