Generating a manifest CLASSPATH using Ant

I'm using Ant 1.5.4 to build my applications. When I create a JAR file to deploy I ask Ant to add a main class and CLASSPATH to the manifest, like this:
<target name="deploy" depends="report" description="deploy the application">
    <buildnumber />
    <copy todir="${deploy}">
        <fileset dir="${src.lib}" />
    </copy>
    <pathconvert property="manifest.jars" pathsep=" ">
        <path id="manifest.class.path">
            <fileset dir="${deploy}">
                <patternset>
                    <include name="**/*.jar" />
                </patternset>
            </fileset>
        </path>
        <map from="${basedir}/${deploy}/" to=""/>
    </pathconvert>
    <manifest file="META-INF/manifest.mf">
        <attribute name="Implementation-Title" value="${project}" />
        <attribute name="Built-By" value="${user.name}"/>
        <attribute name="Build-Date" value="${TODAY}" />
        <attribute name="Major-Version" value="${major}" />
        <attribute name="Minor-Version" value="${minor}" />
        <attribute name="Build-Number" value="${build.number}" />
        <attribute name="Main-Class" value="${manifest.main}"/>
        <attribute name="Class-Path" value="${manifest.jars}"/>
    </manifest>
    <jar jarfile="${deploy}/${project}.jar"
         manifest="${manifest}/manifest.mf">
        <fileset dir="${output.classes}" excludes="**/*TestCase*.class, **/*TestSuite*.class"/>
    </jar>
</target>This particular app has several third-party JARs. When I look at the manifest contents, they look like this:
Class-Path: activation.jar imap.jar junit.jar my-common.jar mail.ja
r mailapi.jar pop3.jar smtp.jar xalan.jar xerces.jar xml-apis.jar xsl
tc.jar
Has anybody else done this with Ant for a long CLASSPATH with many JARs? Are those line breaks inside JAR names a problem? It looks strange to me, and I'm not sure that it's correct or useful. Thanks - MOD

Manifesting Classpath Issues + Ant

Having some problems with classpath and manifest file.
I'm using ant to build manifest in jar. The classpath seems to be set OK in the manifest.
I include an external jar(log4j) in my app jar, and it seems to go in the correct place in my app jar(lib directory).
The manifest file seems to be created OK, and is put in the MANIFEST-INF directory in app jar.
I can compile and build everything OK.
The main issue is that at runtime, it does not seem to pickup the log4j jar. I get a NoClassDefFoundError when trying to create a Logger class.
Any help would be appreciated. I will include relevant information below.

pkwooster,
If there are complex solutions then the problem must be complex and perhaps I did not understand the problem (it takes a few hits on my head for the problem domain to get cleared up :). Reason I say this is because my problem is not complex & neither is the solution.
What I have is this:
1. Manually created (I know ANT does this; but I didn't use ant; I used a sh script) the MF file with just the Class-Path defined.
Here is the MF entry from my standalone application (it is really a messaging application):
Class-Path: log4j-1.2.7.jar bta_notify-facade-client.jar bta_notify-ex
ception.jar bta_notify-vo.jar
2. IN my sh script I use the following command to create my jar:
jar cvfm $BTA_ADAPTER_JAR_OUT \
     meta-inf/adapter-manifest.mf \
     $BTA_ADAPTER_CLASSES/*.class \
     $BTA_EXCEPTION_CLASSES/*.class \
     $BTA_MESSAGE_CLASSES/*.class \
     $BTA_VO_CLASSES/*.class \
     $BTA_GRAIN_BEAN_CLASSES/*.class \
     -C $BTA_SRC_CONFIG_DIR log4j.xml \
     -C $LOG4J_DIR $LOG4J_JAR
(the BTA_EXCEPTION_CLASSES & BTA_VO_CLASSES are not the same as the jars mentioned in the mf classpath).
That is all that I did. The adapter.jar contains log4j.jar (without the path) & the mf (meta-inf/ as the path).
I did something very similar on a j2ee app that is deployed as an EAR file in weblogic. That is where I have ear containing jar1 which contains log4j, other jars & jar1's mf which lists these contained jars (log4j & others) in its classpath.
I presume my problem & the problem that is being solved by these other complex solutions are not the same.

Generate SAR using ant or using Jdeveloper

Hi!
I 'm generating the sar file using the ant-sca-package.xml file but when I compare it with the jar generated with the "deploy to sar" option from the IDE Jdeveloper, they are different. The jar file generated with Jdeveloper excludes some folders and also modified the composite.xml file :S
Why is that? which is the correct way to generate a Sar file?
Thanks in advance
NH

Hi NH,
You seems to be doing the right way... AFAIK ant-sca-package.xml is the way to go...

Using Ant with CDT

I am using ARM's Eclipse for DS-5 for developing my embedded C projects. We were asked by a customer if we can generate ANT build files using Eclipse. Looking through the manual, it seems like I should be able to Export the project to Ant.
My Workspace contains several projects. So, I select the project I want to export, then click the menu File -> Export... -> General -> Ant Buildfiles, then click Next>.
The next dialogue that opens is the Generate Ant Buildfiles, but the list of projects to select from is empty! The Check projects for Ant compatibility box is checked by default, but even when I uncheck it, the list remain empty.
1. Can Ant be used to build C projects?
2. How do I export a project to Ant from CDT?
3. If (1) is "No" and (2) is "Can't", then why is this option included in CDT?

I tried this and it doesn't work. It will include the file Manifest.mf in
the jar along with the default manifest file MANIFEST.MF. If you try to use
the support tag to include a file MANIFEST.MF, an IOException is received.
Has anybody found a way to get ejbjar to use a custom manifest file?
"Nils Winkler" <[email protected]> wrote in message
news:[email protected]..
I'm using pretty much the same combination, and it works just fine.
Here's what I'm doing:
<ejbjar srcdir="${build}"
descriptordir="${dd}"
destdir="${dist}">
<support dir="">
<include name="META-INF/Manifest.mf"/>
</support>

<weblogic destdir="${dist}"
newCMP="true"
compiler="jikes"
args="-g">
<classpath>
[snip...]
</classpath>
</weblogic>

<include name="**/*-ejb-jar.xml" />
<exclude name="**/*weblogic*.xml" />
</ejbjar>
As you can see, I add the manifest file using the support nested tag.
The manifest file is on my harddisk, in a directory called "META-INF",
which is in the project's main directory.
Hope that helps,
Nils

Deploying servlet on Tomcat using "ant install" not working. Please help.

Hello. Normally I can find answers by using search, but I can't today for some reason. So please bare with me if this has been mentioned before. I will try to provide as much info as possible so that helping me isn't too much a chore. Thank you.
I have downloaded and installed the JWSDP 1.3. and Tomcat is running. I am also using Ant 1.5.4 (previous installation - not one included with JWSDP) and modeled my build.xml file after the template provided here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/appdev/build.xml.txt.
When I run ant on my respository, everything builds fine. But when I run Ant with the install target, I get the following error:
BUILD FAILED
file:C:/owl/build.xml:366: java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response co
de: 401 for URL: http://localhost:8080/manager/deploy?path=%2Fowl&war=file%3A%2F
%2FC%3A%5Cowl%2Fbuild
Here is line 366 build.xml:
localWar="file://${build.home}"/>
...which is included in this block for the target "install":
<target name="install" depends="compile"
description="Install application to servlet container">
<deploy url="${manager.url}"
username="${manager.username}"
password="${manager.password}"
path="${app.path}"
localWar="file://${build.home}"/>
</target>
When I point my brower to the url located in the error verbose, I get the following:
FAIL - Encountered exception java.lang.NullPointerException
I am trying to get my environment set up correctly before I start spending time developing servlets, but I am getting tempted to just develop to servlets and "manually" installing/deploying them either by copying and pasting or by using the Tomcat manager. I would really like to do everything from Ant though if possible. Please help.

I don't think this is at all correct:
localWar="file://${build.home}"/>You've got to create a real WAR file - a JAR file with WEB-INF and all its minions inside it:
http://access1.sun.com/techarticles/simple.WAR.html
That's the file you need to refer to there. You can manage that with Ant too, of course.
Here's what my Ant build.xml looks like for Web apps (there's a build-web.properties file that follows):

How to compile a class from a Servlet using ant!!!

Hi I have the following problem:
I have a Servlet that must compile a java class.
Here is the code that i use to compile:
File buildFile = new File(build.xml path);
String[] arg = { "-buildfile", buildFile.toString(), "compile" };
Properties userProps = null;
ClassLoader loader = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader();
Main.start(arg, userProps, loader);
The build.xml file was written correctly, infact if i lunch the command ant by dos it is correctly done.
When I put my application in tomcat/webapps and try to compile with code above I have the following error:
BUILD FAILED C:\......: Could not create task or type of type: property.
Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies upon.
This is common and has a number of causes; the usual
solutions are to read the manual pages then download and
install needed JAR files, or fix the build file:
- You have misspelt 'property'.
Fix: check your spelling.
- The task needs an external JAR file to execute
and this is not found at the right place in the classpath.
Fix: check the documentation for dependencies.
Fix: declare the task.
- The task is an Ant optional task and the JAR file and/or libraries implementing the functionality were not found at the time you yourself built your installation of Ant from the Ant sources.
Fix: Look in the ANT_HOME/lib for the 'ant-' JAR corresponding to the task and make sure it contains more than merely a META-INF/MANIFEST.MF.
If all it contains is the manifest, then rebuild Ant with the needed libraries present in ${ant.home}/lib/optional/ , or alternatively,
download a pre-built release version from apache.org
- The build file was written for a later version of Ant Fix: upgrade to at least the latest release version of Ant
- The task is not an Ant core or optional task and needs to be declared using <taskdef>.
- You are attempting to use a task defined using <presetdef> or <macrodef> but have spelt wrong or not defined it at the point of use
Remember that for JAR files to be visible to Ant tasks implemented in ANT_HOME/lib, the files must be in the same directory or on the classpath
Please neither file bug reports on this problem, nor email the Ant mailing lists, until all of these causes have been explored, as this is not an Ant bug.

Using ant with ejbjar

I am trying to specify a manifest file in the <ejbjar> element, and it appears
that weblogic.ejbc is overwriting the manifest (ant does find the MF, but weblogic
seems to be clobbering it)
has anybody run into this before?
thanks

I tried this and it doesn't work. It will include the file Manifest.mf in
the jar along with the default manifest file MANIFEST.MF. If you try to use
the support tag to include a file MANIFEST.MF, an IOException is received.
Has anybody found a way to get ejbjar to use a custom manifest file?
"Nils Winkler" <[email protected]> wrote in message
news:[email protected]..
I'm using pretty much the same combination, and it works just fine.
Here's what I'm doing:
<ejbjar srcdir="${build}"
descriptordir="${dd}"
destdir="${dist}">
<support dir="">
<include name="META-INF/Manifest.mf"/>
</support>

<weblogic destdir="${dist}"
newCMP="true"
compiler="jikes"
args="-g">
<classpath>
[snip...]
</classpath>
</weblogic>

<include name="**/*-ejb-jar.xml" />
<exclude name="**/*weblogic*.xml" />
</ejbjar>
As you can see, I add the manifest file using the support nested tag.
The manifest file is on my harddisk, in a directory called "META-INF",
which is in the project's main directory.
Hope that helps,
Nils

Unable to set classpath in Ant Script to compile AIA related api

Hi everyone,
I am trying to build customized ant scripts to compile,build & deploy (oracle 11g)AIA application using ANT tool.To compile composite application,"scac" target name is used.This scac will refer the classpath which was set at ant-sca-compile.xml.scac is compiling all integartion artifacts except AIA related api.I added aia.jar to classpath in ant-sca-compile.xml.still,scac is not recognizing aia.jar
I am getting below compilation problem
scac:

[scac] Ensure that the class path is set correctly. If this happens on the server side, verify that the custom classes or jars which this BPEL process is depending on are deployed correctly. Also verify that the run time is using the same release/version.
[scac]
Please let me know any body have faced above problem & resolved it.It is consuming more time.It would be appreciable,if any body provides solution for this.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Hanu

Hi,
How are you referring to the class path. I have created my custom build file and I refer like this.
<path id="classpath">
<pathelement location="${oracle.home}/lib/aia.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${oracle.common.home}/modules/org.apache.commons.logging_1.0.4.jar"/>
</path> oracle.home is the location where my aia.jar resides.
In the compile-classes target I have

<target name="compile-classes">
<mkdir dir="${sca-inf.classes.dir}"/>
<javac destdir="${sca-inf.classes.dir}"   classpathref="classpath"
         debug="on"                         nowarn="${javac.nowarn}"
         deprecation="${javac.deprecation}" encoding="Cp1252"
         source="1.6"                       target="1.6">
    <src path="${src.dir}"/>
</javac>
</target> Regards,

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
tion is:

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:
<project name="ServerEJB" default="make_server_jar" basedir=".">

<property environment="env" />
<property name="app.name" value="${ant.project.name}"/>
<property name="source.dir" value="ejbModule"/>
<property name="build.dir" value="build"/>

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

Any hint on it?
Thanks!

you need to set environment variables (at least $ORACLE_HOME and $JAVA_HOME), for ant tasks to work from command line.
If you are trying this on the SOA Suite server, open a devprompt.sh from $ORACLE_HOME/bpel/bin, and it would work from there.

Hi Steve,
As a quick workaround, can you consider merging that 3rd party
references into a simple, let's call it 3rdparty.jar, file. Then you
will be able to overcome this line limit. If you use ANT, it can be
made a part of the build process and can simplify future additions.
Hope this helps,

First iteration was just skeletal code and the dependencies were minimal.I was
able to get this uploaded and deployed correctly. For that EAR, the EJBjar file
manifest's Class-Path entry had only 2 entries and was no where near the72-character
line limit.
Second iteration had some functionality and the dependencies were muchlarger.
Again ejbc ran fine, but I got errors on upload when the console tries todeploy
the EAR. The manifest Class-Path entry for that ejb version contained 16jar
files which, because fo the 72 line limit, spread across 3 lines.
The complaint I get on deployment is NoClassDefFound for a class that isin a
jar file listed in the manifest classpath (it found it the first time).
Is there a bug in WebLogic (6.1 sp3) where it cannot recognize manifestclasspath
entries over a certain limit? I have seen postings about WebLogic'sissues with
class loading from manifest classpath entries but thought they had allbeen fixed
as of 6.1sp3.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Deploying using Ant

Hi,
Im trying to deploy my BPEL process to server using ant.Im using JDeveloper of version 10.1.3.1. I dont have SOA suit deployed on my server and only have a patch of JDeveloper on my system.In the build.xml I have pointed my $(oracle.home) to C:/JDeveloper
I have configured my ant-orabpel.properties file pointing to the host which I intend to deploy my process.
When I try to deploy my processes using Ant the validation task fails with the following error:
BUILD FAILED
C:\JDeveloper\jdev\mywork\AntTest\ProcessCalled\build.xml:55: Could not cr
eate task or type of type: validateTask.
Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies upon.
This is common and has a number of causes; the usual
solutions are to read the manual pages then download and
install needed JAR files, or fix the build file:
- You have misspelt 'validateTask'.
Fix: check your spelling.
- The task needs an external JAR file to execute
and this is not found at the right place in the classpath.
Fix: check the documentation for dependencies.
Fix: declare the task.
- The task is an Ant optional task and the JAR file and/or libraries
implementing the functionality were not found at the time you
yourself built your installation of Ant from the Ant sources.
Fix: Look in the ANT_HOME/lib for the 'ant-' JAR corresponding to the
task and make sure it contains more than merely a META-INF/MANIFEST.MF.
If all it contains is the manifest, then rebuild Ant with the needed
libraries present in ${ant.home}/lib/optional/ , or alternatively,
download a pre-built release version from apache.org
- The build file was written for a later version of Ant
Fix: upgrade to at least the latest release version of Ant
- The task is not an Ant core or optional task
and needs to be declared using <taskdef>.
- You are attempting to use a task defined using
<presetdef> or <macrodef> but have spelt wrong or not
defined it at the point of use
Remember that for JAR files to be visible to Ant tasks implemented
in ANT_HOME/lib, the files must be in the same directory or on the
classpath
Please neither file bug reports on this problem, nor email the
Ant mailing lists, until all of these causes have been explored,
as this is not an Ant bug.
Can anyone help me how to overcome this error and have ant completed with Build successful.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Deepti.

Thanks Mark,
I have copied the jar files from ORACLE_HOME\OracleAS_1\bpel\lib to JDeveloper\integration\bpel\lib and have set the my CLASSPATH to the same and my ant started working successfully.
Thanks,
Deepti

Error in starting weblogic server using ant

Hi,
I am trying to start the weblogic server using ant.I used the following command:
<taskdef name="wlserver" classname="weblogic.ant.taskdefs.management.WLServer">
<classpath>
<pathelement location="${BEA_HOME}/weblogic81/server/lib/weblogic.jar" />
</classpath>
</taskdef>
<target name="start-weblogic">
<wlserver username="weblogic" password="weblogic" failonerror="false" servername="myserver" domainname="rwadomain" dir="${BEA_HOME}/user_projects/domains/rwadomain" host="localhost" port="7001" weblogichome="${BEA_HOME}/weblogic81" beahome="${BEA_HOME}" policy="${BEA_HOME}\weblogic81\server\lib\weblogic.policy" />
</target>
But it is giving me an error that java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: weblogic/Server
I also tried the following command:
<target name="start-weblogic">
<java classname="weblogic.Server" fork="yes" classpathref="weblogic.classes" failonerror="true">
<sysproperty key="weblogic.Domain" value="rwadomain"></sysproperty>
<sysproperty key="weblogic.RootDirectory" value="C:\bea\user_projects\domains\rwadomain"></sysproperty>
<sysproperty key="weblogic.ConfigFile" value="config.xml"></sysproperty>
<sysproperty key="weblogic.ListenAddress" value="localhost"></sysproperty>
<sysproperty key="weblogic.ListenPort" value="7001"></sysproperty>
<arg line="-ms200m -mx200m"></arg>
</java>
</target>
But the problem with this command is that it does not reurn control to execute the further commands.
Please suggest something.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You should take a look at the <parallel> ant task.
