BUILD FAILED: beahome not set

Question

error out of left feild...
Working on a Unix (Solaris) machine trying to set up a new single-server domain with the wlserver/wlconfig Ant tasks. I have edited the .profile file to read the setWLSEnv.sh file but WLServer tasks is throwing a funny error (namely one shouldn't have to set the beahome Ant attribute to run wlserver):
file:/program/tp/REL_WLSAPP.1/wlsapplications/.build_mbp_xml:15: beahome not set at weblogic.ant.taskdefs.management.WLServer.execute(WLServer.java:280)
at org.apache.tools.ant.Task.perform(Task.java:341)

at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.start(Main.java:196)
at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.main(Main.java:235
The BEA_HOME is exported into the shell (/bin/ksh) environment. According to the Ant description of the wlserver task the beahome attribute isn't required. Wonder why WLS 8.1 SP2 is complaining if the attribute is missing?

Answer 1

I have the same problem.
It seems that the documentation is wrong and the beahome parameter is mandatory.
Another diffence is the action parameter : The documentation speaks about an action="startup" option, but this does nothing, it seems that the good option is action="start".
Do you have solved this problem since september ?
