Circular reference calling the ImportFileGeneratorTask java class

Question

Hello,
I am facing an issue when I generate in my build.xml the import file with the ImportFileGeneratorTask java class:
Unable to sort files due to circular reference: ROLE-R_ALL_G_T_USER.xml -> ROLE-BR_ALL_G_T_USER.xml -> ROLE-R_ALL_G_T_USER.xmlIt occurs in the ObjectDependencySort java class because a Business Role contains an IT Role.
Here is an extract of my build.xml:
<taskdef name='generateImportFile' classname='com.sun.idm.ide.cbe.ImportFileGeneratorTask'>
            <classpath>
                <fileset dir="tools">
                    <include name="idmcbetasks.jar" />
                </fileset>
                <pathelement path="${CLASSPATH}" />
            </classpath>
        </taskdef> 
        <generateImportFile outputFile='${basedir}/${import.file.generated}' incremental='${import.file.incremental}' updateTrackerFile='${import.file.update.tracker}'>
            <fileset dir='${custom-filtered-config-dir}'
                     includes='${xml-autogen-import-includes}'
                     excludes='${xml-autogen-import-excludes}'/>
            <filtermapper>
                <replacestring from='\' to='/'/>
                <replaceregex pattern='.*/${custom-filtered-config-dir}/(.*)' replace='WEB-INF/config/\1'/>
            </filtermapper>
        </generateImportFile>Does anyone already been confronted to this issue?
Thanks,
Nicolas

Answer 1

you can just get rid of the ParentRoles tag in every Role. This does make the circular reference to disappear and roles are still contained in each other correctly as far as I tested it.
