Build webservices package on jax-ws using ant

Hi,
I am new to webservices so going through the webservices part of the java ee 5 tutorial. There i need to build the package of the webservices example on jax-ws using ant.But when i am trying to run ant command i am getting the error as build failed due to C:\glassfish-v3\lib not found.
I have set my path for sun app server and also for ant.
Why I am getting this error can anybody help me out?

Hello,
if you just need an ant you can download it separatelly from a website:
http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi
I have also GlassFish v3 version and ant is not included:
You can also you dowload it with GlassFish v2.1 .
The ant is located in the directory "glassfish_install_directory\lib\ant\bin.
I think that the ant version should be 1.6.5 and above.
Regards,
Miro.
Note:
GlassFish v 2.1 is an implementation of java ee 5.
GlassFish v 3 should be an implementation of java ee 6.

How to build ear files for ADF application using Ant task

How to build ear files for ADF applications using Ant. The ojdeploy ant task can not find application-level deployment profiles. I am trying to automated build and release for ADF application.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Timo
Thanks for your reply.
I have successfully created ear file using ojdeploy on jenkins. however when am trying to auto deploy using WLDeploy ant task am getting the following
error :
weblogic.application.ModuleException: :oracle.mds.config.MDSConfigurationException:MDS-01335: namespace "/oracle/webcenter/quicklinks/scopedMD" mapped to metadata-store-usage "WebCenterFileMetadataStore" but its definition was not found in MDS configuration
Please advise how to handle this.
As am a newbie to ADF, could you please advise if it is possible for the ADF application deployments can be automated for different environments using jenkins due to this MDS dependencies.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks

Need build.xml to create Ear file using Ant in jdeveloper 11g??

Hi all,
I think Jdeveloper use ANT to create Ear file and how to get build.xml from Jdeveloper.
1) I have created ADF Fusion web Application having separte Model and View Controller.
2) Now when I select View Controller project and then i create New ant-> Build.xml i get the required build.xml which can be used to create war file for my View Controller project.
3) Similarly when I select Model project and then i create New ant-> Build.xml i get the required build.xml which can be used to create Jarfile for my Model project.
4) If I select my application and then i click deploy... I'm able to create my ear file having both war file for View Controller and Jar File for Model.
5) But I dont know how to get built.xml file which will create ear file having both View Controller and Model in it.
Thanks a lot....

However note the generated Ant script includes unnecessary targets. See the following blog post: http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.com/2010/11/using-ojdeploy-and-ant-for-creating-adf.html

Packaging WebCenter 10g apps using Ant or other automated mechanism

Hi,
The WebCenter 10g framework developers guide assumes that packaging of WebCenter apps is done through a JDeveloper WebCenter Application WAR deployment profile. Other steps such as predeployment and deployment can be automated using Ant and/or command line scripts.
However, we would like to automate packaging of WebCenter apps just like packaging "plain" Java applications. For example to make sure that the correct configuration files (web.xml, orion-web.xml, etc.) are packaged in the WAR file according to the target environment (development, test, acceptance and production). These have different URL's, security information and so on per environment. If using JDeveloper deployment plans, you have to modify and check these files which is error-prone.
Is it possible to automate packaging or is a deployment profile the only way to achieve correct packaging?
We have been experimenting with the webcenter:generateMdsExportSet task to export design time customizations to the file system and package the resulting files into the WAR. Afterwards use ssh Ant tasks to copy the generic archive to the target runtime, run the predeployment task and deploy the application using Oracle Ant tasks. Is this a "certified" way to achieve automated packaging (and deployment) of WebCenter apps?

Build script for CXF web service using ant.

Hi, I am trying to build a CXF web service using ant. Does any one have a sample build script for it or steps (such as 1. build wsdl using java2wsdl task, 2. create a war etc.....) to follow to successfully build a web service using Apache CXF and ANT? Your help is greatly appreciated. I am using tomcat server and spring.
Thanks

Flash Builder 4.7, ASC2.0, ANT Build, iOS-Package

Hello,
I just tried out to build and package an iOS-ipa via ANT.
Doing this with a release-build swf results in "...app.xml: error 304: Initial window content is invalid"
Packaging with a debug-build swf seems to run without any errors.
I have no idea about what is "invalid". Doing it with Flash Builder 4.6 and ASC1.0 also reports now errors.
I am using the same build.xml (corrected pathes of course) in FB4.6 and FB4.7
Also, i am using AirSDK3.4 in both builder.
Any ideas?! Anyone?!
Thanks for any help!
Greetings...

Hi ,
Were you able to build ipa successfully using AIR 3.1 in FB 4.6 ?
Is the issue reproducible for a particular project or on all the projects ?
Please share the build.xml , debug and release swf, app.xml file .

Java.lang.VerifyError when using ant 1.6.2

In short, I get the VerifyError when deploying my .ear in Weblogic 8.1 SP2. I have nailed down the issue to this:
I compile all my code using Ant 1.6.2. If I package the code up using ant 1.6.2 I get the VerifyError. If I pacakge the code up using ant 1.4, all is well. Note that when I deploy the 1.6.2 packaged ear file on Windows, all is well also.
During the ant package target I assembly the war and ear using the core war and ear tasks.
We are using precompiled JSPs in the war file. It seems that WL8.1 wants to recompile the JSP file. I am not sure why - the ant 1.4 packaged ear does not want to recompile the same JSP.
The detailed error is:
Servlet class jsp_servlet._portal.__capitalmarketsoverview for servlet /portal/CapitalMarketsOverview.jsp could not be verified.
java.lang.VerifyError: (class: jsp_servlet/_portal/__capitalmarketsoverview, method: _jspService signature: (Ljavax/servlet/http/HttpServletRequest;Ljavax/servlet/http/HttpServletResponse;)V) Incompatible object argument for function call.>
Any help is appreciated,

Hello,
I could not find an easy way to get the wls version of ant to start using the tasks you mention from ant 1.6.2.
I tried defining the tasks using taskdef and also adding them to wls ant.jar and updating the deafult.properties file but the ant complained about unexpected elements in the build.xml file where I added the new tags (e.g import)
If your really up against it you can try adding wls tasks to ant 1.6.2, they are listed here:
http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/toolstable/ToolsTable.html#1009580
Although I could not located exactly which jar they are in. Good luck.

Using ant to build and deploy plsql packages to a 11g wls.

Hi all,
Not sure is this is the right place, but I found a few other threads in this forum regarding plsql and ant, so I'll try this one.
My firm is moving from 10g ADF applcations to 11g SOA applications. When I'm not busy being lost in the whole new SOA world, I also have the pleasure of building our ant scripts. :-)
It has been years since I looked at the deploy scripts I made for 10g, so I'm a bit rusty.
I used wsassemble in our old scripts and I used http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25221_05/web.1013/b14434/wsassemble.htm as a reference. But I can't seem to find the same documentation for 11g? I tried http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/index.htm but it doesn't seem to have anything about plsqlAssemble, genInterface, genproxy etc. for 11g wls servers? I also tried google a while to no avail.
For example, I'm having problems setting the values for the ant-oracle.properties.
So can someone please throw some links my way, so I can read how to build and deploy plsql packages to a 11g wls server using ant? Thanks!
Cheers,
William

Hi,
Did you ever find an answer to this question ?

How to use user-defined packages in JAX-RPC web service

I am trying to use Object of my class located in my package in jax-rpc webservice,the code is
package supercomputer;
import Hello.*;
public class SuperImpl implements SuperIF
public String sendParam(String data)
Temp ob=new Temp();
int i=ob.get1(10000);
return data+"returned by supercomputer";
Temp is located in Hello package,I have jar the Hello package as Hello.jar and has set its classpath in targets.xml of Ant tool.
The code compiles well and service is deployed successfully,but when i try to call the service from the client its gives me following error.
[echo] Running the supercomputer.SuperClient program....

I dont know if it deploys why it gives error on client side.
Please tell how to use user-defined packages and class in jax-rpc service code ,i am not talking about passing user-defined parameters i am just talking about making objects of user defined classes in jax-rpc service.I think there is some problem in classpath.
Please guide me in doing that.
Thanks,
Farrukh

Farrukh,
I don't know if your error is about a missing class from your custom package, ... what track did you followed to say that?
To use your package in the implementation of you web service, you should only follow the rules of making a web application: put your package jar in your \lib directory inside WEB-INF/ or your package classes unjared in classes (also in WEB-INF/).
As I already said, I have doubts that your error should be originated from a missing class from your package, but:
-try to see the logs (errors?) when you deploy your web service that could give a hint about the problem.
-try to see if you can access your endpoint through your browser to see if there is a online status
-display your config/WSDL file, and the steps you did to build your web service.

Pedro Salazar.

Packaging JAR's using Ant in Eclipse

Hey,
I'm new to Ant, and xml for that matter. I need to rmi compile & package a set of simple classes whose objects call eachother remotely. I need seperate jars for a "server" and one for "client" containing whatever classes are needed for each. Using Ant the classes should be compiled, packaged into the jars and then the jars should be copied to some other specified directory. And of course, the jars should be executable.
The files I use are AddressBook (interface extends Remote), AddressBookImpl (extends UnicastRemoteObject implements AddressBook), BuddyInfoInterf (interface extends Remote), BuddyInfo (the implementation, extends Unicast... implements BuddyI...), and AddressBookUser.
The AddressBook is created on the server-side (in main() found in AddressBookImpl) and is populated with BuddyInfo's also created server-side.
AddressBookUser is just the client accessing some info from ABook or BInfo.
So, anyway, here's the xml file I've written to do the tasks assigned. The classes compile fine, and the jar files seem to contain the proper files. My problem is that the jar files don't execute properly. The main() in AddressBookImpl creates the ABook and binds it to the rmiregistry. When I run the server.jar that is "initially" created during the process (the one in the base dir) it works fine but this only seems to work correctly because it's in the same dir as all of the compiled classes. The copied jar file in the other directory, or even if I manually copy the server.jar file in the base dir to some other dir, causes an exception when trying to bind the AddressBook to the registry saying it can't find a stub that is definitely located in the jar. And I'm running the rmiregistry in whatever dir the server.jar is in each time:
Exception in thread "main" java.rmi.ServerException: RemoteException occurred in
server thread; nested exception is:
java.rmi.UnmarshalException: error unmarshalling arguments; nested excep

Sorry bout the length. Just want to cover my bases. Thanks for any help.

I am also having problem in building server.jar file using Ant. I am using EJB jar file in my web application, this jar file is called remotely from server to client. Client.jar file working correctly but the server.jar file contains error which is given below:
15:30:47,296 WARN [verifier] EJB spec violation:
Bean : Server
Section: 22.2
Warning: The Bean Provider must specify the fully-qualified name of the Java cla
ss that implements the enterprise bean's business methods in the <ejb-class> ele
ment.

org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: Verification of Enterprise Beans failed, see above for error messages.
In above error, "Class not found on 'com.ejb.ServerBean' " is given. Will there be all the classes of EJB jar file in server.jar ? I think only the interface class file i.e. Server.class and serverHome.class must be included, am I correct or not?
Also the build.xml which I am using for creating server.jar is given below:

<jar destfile="${distribution.dir}/${server.ejb.jar.name}" basedir="${classes.dir}">
     <exclude name="**/*Bean.class"/>
</jar>

</project>
I am using server.jar file in server as interface which will remotely call client.jar which will be kept at client location.
Anybody, can you provide me with the solution for this problem?...
Thank you.

JSP precompilation and my .java files compilation issues / building WAR file using ANT

Hello.
I am new to working with WAR files and the whole process of it. A little
background on what we are using. We are using, WLS 6.1 SP3. I am using the
ant.bat that is supplied in the bin directory of the WLS install.
I am trying to work with ANT and getting it to build the file. I am making
progress, but at a point where I am having trouble getting my java code
files to compile using ant. I am having one issue and looking to do one
other item.
1) I would like to precompile the JSPs if possible prior to putting into the
WAR file. Not sure if this is done or not, but there was a utility when I
was working with ibm's app server that gave us the ability to do a batch
complile. Was thinking that maybe a similair concept is possibly here.
2) Having issue getting ant to compile code properly. In the compile
section of the build.xml file for ant, I tell it where the source files are,
and the destionation folder for the compiled class files. I then try to set
the classpath so that it finds the .jar files that are necessary for my
source files to complile. But, it won't find them. And not sure how come.
I may be going about this all wrong, but dont know. Here is the compile
section of the build.xml I am using:
<target name="compile" depends="prepare">
<javac srcdir="classes" destdir="${deploy.home}/WEB-INF/classes"
classpath="$(lib.home)"
debug="on" optimize="on" deprecation="off"/>
</target>
One note, I've tried many different items in the classpath line, which
don't work. if I do *.jar it fails at complie time, invalid argument. As
well as if I use *.* and so on. if I list the explicit file names, it still
doesn't seem to find them.
I was wondering if anyone could help, if you need anymore information let me
know, I can send the entire build.xml if necessary. I may be missing
items, seeing that this is my first try at using ANT.
Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance. Hopefully not sounding too
off the wall. Hopefully get some clarification and understanding.
Thank you.
Kevin.

or just set the precompile flag in weblogic.xml
You can configure WebLogic Server to precompile your JSPs when a Web

by setting the precompile parameter to true in the <jsp-descriptor>
element of the weblogic.xml deployment descriptor.

maybe because you are not using curly braces there on lib.home??
if you do it the way above, you would have to list all your jars
classpath="$(lib.home)\lib1.jar:$(lib.home)\lib2.jar"
or you can nest
<javac srcdir="classes" destdir="${deploy.home}/WEB-INF/classes"
debug="on" optimize="on" deprecation="off">

SGD Portlet - Failed to build using Ant - UnsupportedClassVersionError

I know this portlet code was just released this week, but has anybody had any success building the portlet into a .WAR file?
Thanks in advance!
Rob.

I figured it out... the tarantella-tasks.jar file had class files in it that were compiled using jdk 6, and the rest of the project was compiled using jdk 1.4.2. Luckily, the source code was there so that I could recompile the classes back to 1.4.2 and it now works.

Building jars using ant and eclipse

Note: If this post could be in a more appropriate forum category could someone please tell me which one is better.
Vexing issue:
I am using ANT so that it will take care of which classes have been modified and therefore which jars need to be updated.
I noticed one way ANT can work is to look at the timestamp of the class files and then build the necessary jars. This works fine EXCEPT that eclipse has a nasty habit of sometimes recompiling everything, even when I dont ask it to. It would seem to make more sense basing the recompilation on the source files, and whether they have been modified. So I set this up with my build.xml, ie
<target name="compile" depends="init"
description="compile the source " >

<javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}" fork="true"/>
</target>
Now suppose I go and change one of my source files, ANT recompiles that file and that all works great. However, suppose that file had in it, which many do,
public static String EXAMPLE_VARIABLE = "example";
This static variable is referenced in many classes, and yet ANT only recompiles the one file, and thus there begins an inconsistency!
Is there any way to get around this? I would have expected ANT to recompile all the files that depend on the class with the static variable but it doesnt.
Any help much appreciated.

You know, that's a good question. I would think JVMs at runtime could resolve static variables, like when it compiles classes using that static variable it puts a placeholder "Hey, here I am using XXX, at runtime, figure it out and give me the value right at the start..". But I think it works like you suggest in that a static value is compiled into every location that uses it. The only thing I can think of is provide a target for a build-all in your ant and have it rebuild all.
I agree though that the javac compiler should be smarter in how it compiles classes. Anytime a class has certain attributes that may be compiled in to other classes, it should check and recompile any class that depends on the static value that has changed.

Can't build JAXB examples using ant

I'm getting the following errors when trying to build the JAXB sampls using ant. I've followed all the instructions, not sure what the prob is.
I'm using JDK 1.6 and JWSDP 2.0 on Windows XP.
Any ideas?

Buildfile: build.xml
compile:
[echo] Compiling the schema...
