The build.xml file that comes with the standard Identity netbeans tools is relatively straightforward once you understand ant syntax. What are you having problems with?

Because, i am a java developper, i have choose Netbeans 6.1 to secure it.That has to be the most random thing I've read in some time.
do you know how can i do to integrate my animation .swf inside my java class?Java can't play SWF files and Flash can't handle Java classes, so what you're suggesting here doesn't make a lot of sense.

Information About Ant Tool

What is the main purpose of ANT Tool? Can any body tell me?

Ant is a tool for automating the process of building Java applications. It can do just about anything you need to do: compile, package, move files around, even create javadoc. The documentation is actually pretty good:
http://ant.apache.org/manual/index.html
http://ant.apache.org/
At my company we use it to build our applications from source then take the classes, wrap them up with configs (and other stuff) and deploy the archive file to a location for each instance.
The config can be a little intimidating at first. I'd suggest getting a few example build files to get started.

Hi,
You are missing a JAR file. Check to make sure you have your classpath setup in your build file with the required libraries.

Ant tools: converter java card

Hi,
I have already a problem with the ant tools for java card.
I build a build.xml file which has for aim to generate the CAP,EXP, JCA and the *.script files before downloading them on cref.
I have a problem with the command converter. Here you can find my code:

          <echo message = "Generation of the CAP,JCA and EXP files..."     />
          <convert
               JCA="true"
               EXP="true"
               CAP="true"
               packagename="versionZero"
               packageaid="0xB0:0x02:0x03:0x04:0x05:0x06:0x07:0x08:0x09:0x00"
               majorminorversion="1.0"
               verbose = "true">
               <AppletNameAID
                    appletname="versionZero.VersionZero"
                    aid="0xB0:0x02:0x03:0x04:0x05:0x06:0x07:0x08:0x09:0x00:0x00"/>
               <classpath refid="classpath"/>
          </convert>
     My problem is the following: the command converter say mys package is empty and it is not the case: it contains all the *.java file.
Must I compile the files with javac before using the convert command or it is another problem?
Here is the trace of my build.xml file:

     My problem is the following: the command converter say mys package is empty and it is not the case: it contains all the *.java file.

ANT tool calling jsp

Hi
I'm using ant tool for my project with WSDP(uploading various file formats using jaxm +soap
) .I have declared java classes and servlets in build.xml file java classes and servlets are run perfectly
problem is i need to introduce jsp for my front end , simply jsp will call
the servlet .
How do i declare my jsp file in ANT build.xml file.Since jsp files compile at run time
under which task do i have to declare the name like (javac ,java )
Thanks

Hi Priyanka,
You need to copy the jsp(from the location/ directory where you have stored it) to root directory of your application. The JSP will get automatically compiled when requested for the first time, by the Web Server. I hope the example shown below should help you.

<target name="target-transfer-to-tomcat-application-root">

<copy todir="C:/Tomcat/webapps/myApplication">
<fileset dir="C:/ProjectDirectory/web" />
</copy>
<javac srcdir="C:/ProjectDirectory/web"
destdir="C:/Tomcat/webapps/myApplication/WEB-INF/classes"
includes="**/*.java"
classpathref="" > 
</javac>
<target/>

Ant tools: converter java card - class file not belonging to the package!

Hi
I have another problem with converter. Could you help me please again if you have the time?
I have created a directory when I save the class files generated by javac. After That , I use convert in this way:
<convert
JCA="true"
EXP="true"
CAP="true"
packagename="testUn/classes/testUn"
packageaid="0x01:0x01:0x01:0x01:0x01:0x01:0x01:0x01:0x02:0x00"

my ANT compilation works fine with command line.
Please Help !!

have you did some wrong with the build output path?
i am dont understand clearful.but i am think so ;
example :
the eclipse's default build out path is 'bin',
so,if you compile by this code:
<target name="compile">
<mkdir dir="./class" />
<javac srcdir="./src" destdir="./class"
classpath="com.Ostermiller.util.*"
encoding="${ENCODING}"
debug="on" optimize="off" deprecation="off" />
</target>
* the "ENCODING" 's value is setting in the properties file.
you will maybe get the 'Cannot use classic compiler' error only.
you can change the build output path ,or use the default path ;
I am sorry ,
I was limited in English and was a bigginer of java ,
so that i cant to talk Clearly.
if it cant working fine ,please mail to me :[email protected]
good luck!

Problems about Ant tool

When i tried to run asant build, ant told me that :C:\Documents and Settings\Liu Bo\My Documents\lniteims\build.xml:9: The <javac>
type doesn't support the nested "inculde" element.
it shouldn't be like that because i fould in the manul of ant this snippet of xml: <javac sourcepath="" srcdir="${src}"
destdir="${build}" >
<include name="**/*.java" />
<exclude name="**/Example.java" />
</javac>
Who can tell me WHY??????????????????????
Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Thanks!
i do misspell the word.
by the way, i wanna discuss with you some of the problems that i've been suffering for a long time.
there are three:
The first problem goes below.
Several JSP pages in bookstore2 refer to the only BookDBAO object created in servelet context using this statement:
<jsp:setProperty name="bookDB" property="database" value="${bookDBAO}" />
Why are there no database sycronizations in bookstore2 application?
I know that the BookDB bean is created in page scope, but its database property is refering to the only BookDBAO object created in application scope.
i am confused about this.
By the way, can we just use EL expressions in this way:${bookDBAO}?
i bet it should be ${applicationScope.bookDBAO}
The second problem is about the only servlet dispatcher in bookstore2.
I refer to the "Java Servlet Specification Version 2.4".
it says that :"For a servlet not hosted in a distributed environment (the default), the servlet
container must use only one instance per servlet declaration."
The dispatcher in bookstore2 also use the application-scoped BookDBAO object.
if the only instance of diapatcher handles several requests from web clients, the application-scoped BookDBAO object is actually accessed by several threads created by the container to provide servies to those web clients.
In this context, i consider that the access to database in BookDBAO object should be syncronized to keep the application work well.
The last one is about resource reference.
in admin console of the application server, we configure pointbasepool for the bookstore applications. There is one parameter called "resource type". it has been configured "javax.sql.xaDatasource" This connection pool is used by one jdbc resource whose jndi name is "jdbc.bookdb". When i run the deploytool of the application server, i opened the bookstore2.war(provided war) and moved to resource reference tab and saw that the resouce type is configured javax.sql.Datasource. i am confused about the difference. I 've looked up the j2se documentation and read through materials about the two interfaces. But i just don't know how to use them.
i will be grateful if you can help me.
Thanks!!!!

About ant tools dtd file

An XML document that conforms to a given DTD or XML Schema can be said to be well formed according to the XML syntax rules and valid according to that DTD or XML Schema.
Ant build files must be well formed XML documents. However, there are no formal DTD's or XML Schemas for Ant build files. Ant doesn't have DTD's or XML Schemas essentially because the rules for a valid Ant build file can change so easily. For example, Ant allows you to create your own types of XML elements and use them in your build files - which would immediately make your build file invalid according to the 'standard' DTD or XML Schema.
QUESTION : if ANT doent have a dtd file , how it is decided that it is well
formed or valid or wher r the rules defined ... please explain

You cannot have a formal XML schema:
http://www.theone.ru/lists/comp.lang.java.programmer/msg00560.html
You can find an informal XML DTD or schema at

Ive been using the ant tool ar sincw i had firefox all of a sudden i rest art and sais not compatible with my version// How can that be

it suimply stopped working and when i tryed to reinstallit it sais not compatible

Is it the Ant Toolbar you are trying to use? [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloader-player/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloader-player/] . The developer hasn't made the toolbar compatible with Firefox 10 yet. There is a Beta version which is compatible with Firefox 10, however BE VERY CAREFUL when installing Beta software. It may just be better to wait until an official release.

Taskdef [b]class com.sun.xml.rpc.tools.ant.Wscompile cannot be found[/b]

Hi everybody,
I m new in developing web service.
I am using NetBeans IDE 4.1 EA2 for developing web service.
I have created a sample jaxrpc web service. When i build project it gives me error that:taskdef class com.sun.xml.rpc.tools.ant.Wscompile cannot be found.
This error is contain in the file build-impl.xml which is referred by build.xml file.
netbeans ide uses ant tool for compiling, building & deploying web service.
All the xml files are automatically generated by netbeans ide.
Please help me with this...
Thanx in advance..
Nirav Patel.

You'll need to add jaxrpc-impl.jar to your
classpath.
You can find it under %JWSDP_HOME%\jaxrpc\lib
If you haven't got JWSDP then try
http://java.sun.com/webservices/downloads/webservicesp
ack.htmlhello...
i want to add jaxepc-impl.jar to classpath.
i got the same problem.
i check the user variable c:\sun\jwsdp-1.6\jwsdp_shared\bin;c:\sun\jwsdp-1.6\jwsdp_shared\bin
have been there.
but still the same error appear in the netbeans.
i hope can't get the one-by-one steps guidelines from u.
thanks
