Looking for ant tasks

Dear friends,
I�m looking for ant task that address the below issues:
0 - download and install Tomcat + MySql
1 - download a WAR file
2 - run the database script
3 - install the war file into tomcat
4 - open a browser with the url of the application
do you know where can I find such tasks ?

0 - Ant comes with ftp and zip tasks, you could use these to download Tomcat and MySQL in ZIP format and unpack them.
1 - Again, the ftp task.
2 - I guess you want to run the MySQL command line client and pass it a database script? You can use the exec task for that.
3 - Tomcat comes with a few custom tasks to deploy, undeploy etc. web applications.
4 - Again, you could use the exec task.
Read the documentation of Ant and Tomcat.

Specifying property file name for ant tasks

How can I make the ant tasks look at a properties file other than
kodo.properties?
Thanks,
Tom

Tom,
You can specify a properties file like so:
 <schematool ...>
 <config properties="my.properties"/>
 </schematool>

Weird behaviour for ant task source2wsdd

I got the following when I've tried to run source2wsdd at linux server with weblogic 8.1 SP3:
[source2wsdd] Loading source file /home/klai/dev/LSF/ws_ejb/src/lsf/webservices/WebServicesDemoLocal.java...
[source2wsdd] Constructing Javadoc information...
[source2wsdd] source2wsdd: Doclet class weblogic.webservice.tools.ddgen.ServiceGen does not contain a start method
[source2wsdd] 1 error
I've simulate the environment on Windows and it was working properly.
the ant on linux was able to load weblogic.jar and webservices.jar at start time.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

There is a problem with this task, which I believe has to do with it running another task in a separate JVM without passing the correct classpath to it... But there is a solution... It is a dirty workaround but it does work:
All you have to do is initialize the classpath variable to include:
1. $WEBLOGIC_HOME$/server/lib/weblogic.jar
2. $WEBLOGIC_HOME$/server/lib/webservices.jar
3. $JAVA_HOME$/lib/tools.jar (you need this for the javadoc classes)
BUT...
A. This has to be the EXTERNAL classpath. Not the one that is passed to the task on the ant file itself, but the CLASSPATH env var in the command prompt from which you activate ant.
B. Weblogic.jar also includes many ant related classes, and it will not let ant run smoothly. So you need to include in the classpath all the jar files that are present in the $ANT_HOME$/lib/ directory, BEFORE the weblogic.jar file.
SO, make sure that in the command prompt you add them all, and only then run ANT... Then it will work.
* $ANT_HOME$/lib/*.jar
* $WEBLOGIC_HOME$/server/lib/weblogic.jar
* $WEBLOGIC_HOME$/server/lib/webservices.jar
* $JAVA_HOME$/lib/tools.jar
(One last thing... in order to create the list of JARs from the $ANT_HOME$/lib/ directory, you can use the DOS "foreach" command. If you need help with that, you can contact me through email).
I hope this helps, (I know I could use that!!!),
Best, Nir.

Only two devices on our plan, so not so much an issue. And I have found myself using it much more than I thought I would when we got them (also first smart phones for both of us). Even got my wife to use hers for checking email while we were out of the country (big step forward for her ). I'm very interested in the ApplePay, but will want to wait a bit before diving into it. And since both phones are still in great working order, will likely wait a bit for the upgrade (sometime next year?). Will depend, I suppose, on the kinds of deals we see and what the plans turn out to be for updating my iPad and getting here one.

Looking for a Task/ToDo application that syncs with iCal

Can anyone recommend a good ToDo application that has due dates for tasks along with the capability to sync with iCal tasks? I just switched to the iPhone from Blackberry and I would love to have the same task features that I had with my Curve.

The heavy duty To Do list App "Life Balance" from Llamagraphics is about to release their iPhone version. When it does, I'm getting an iPhone.

Looking for recommendations - iCal substitution (different calendar or task manager app)

Hello everyone,
for some time I'm looking for iCal substitution/replacement. I'm looking for a multiplatform solution (idealy OS X / iOS / Win). I'm a head of small team (5 subordinates) and iCal no longer suits me.
I'm looking for a task manager or different calendar application where I would be able to manage all the tasks my team has. So far I have found application Wunderlist, which is very close to what I want (basic version is free, it works on OS X / iOS / Win and synces through their servers) but it misses some crucial options (monthly view for example).
Also I do not want to and will not use any Google service.
Thanks for any recommendations!

Ant tasks for oracle

Can anyone tell me where I can get this ant task "<oracle:shutdownServer|restartServer ..>" which is clearly documented in the Oracle PDF - "Oracle Containers for J2EE Deployment Guide"
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32110_01/web.1013/b28951.pdf
I have the ant-oracle-classes.jar for our 10.1.3.1 and have searched the antlib.xml contained within the jar and there is no reference to these tasks.
I have searched all jars in our oracle base and there are no references to these ant taskdefs anywhere.
Is there a patch for this, our is there a seperate download required?
Thanks for any help on this,
JP.

John this issue looks similar to bug 6020713 raised against 10.1.3.2 OC4J on solaris, which states that antlib.xml file is missing the following values.
< taskdef name="restartServer" classname="oracle.ant.taskdefs.deploy.JSR88StartServer"/>
< taskdef name="shutdownServer" classname="oracle.ant.taskdefs.deploy.JSR88ShutdownServer"/>
It looks like 10.1.3.1 also has this issue on windows as the classes exist in the ant-oracle-classes.jar.
You should raise an SR to clarify this oracle support.
Cheers
Jeff

Ant tasks for portal's dpadmin and par commands

Has anyone written ant tasks for the dpadmin and par commands? If you look at the shell scripts for dpadmin and par, they are just setting up environment for java method invocation and command-line parsing.

I created some simple targets to deploy my portlets (copy jsp files and classes to appropriate directories) and the declare them with a target that invoked the dpadmin tool on my desktop xml file. I had experimented around with changing the directory priviledges in order to run my build script as a user other than root but had little success. I am sure building a custom ant task wrapped around dpadmin and par commands would be trivial to implement.

Are the WLS 9.1 Web Service Ant Tasks ready for prime time?

I am trying to create a Proof of Concept (POC) for Enterprise and B2B Services at Wendy's Int'l, Inc.
As part of this POC, I created a WSDL for an in-house service and then used the wsdlc and jwsc Ant Tasks to translate this WSDL to Java classes and ultimately (I hoped) a deployable services.
In this document, I describe the issues I encountered setting up what I consider to be a simple POC.
I'll try to attach my WSDL file and build.xml so you can follow along.
I'll also try to attach my CSS file so you can compare how the generated WSDL appears in the Browser to the way I want it to appear.
If attachments are not allowed on these forums, then I will wait and see if there is interest in those documents before I paste them under this topic.
Some preliminary information about my environment.
Environment:
 Windows XP Pro SP2
 WebLogic 9.1
 Java 1.5.0_04
Service Name:
 AppRelease
Note: If I modify my WSDL (perhaps to add a new Operation or to change the definition of an element) and run wsdlc again, the AppReleaseSOAPPortImpl.java file is overwritten For this reason, I implemented my service logic in a class called AppReleaseServiceImple.java.
Now, for the issues.
1. Bug:
In the WSDL generated by wsdlc, the wsdl:part child of the wsdl:message tag is erroneously prefixed with a colon.
This occurs whether or not I specify a prefix for the http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/ namespace.
Work around: Extract the wsdl from the jar file, fix it and add it back into the jar.
2. Bug:
In the WSDL generated by wsdlc, the wsdl:input and wsdl:output children of the wsdl:operation child of wsdl:portType tag are erroneously prefixed with a colon. Like 1 above, this occurs whether or not I specify a prefix for the http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/ namespace.
Work around: Extract the wsdl from the jar file, fix it and add it back into the jar.
The error message generated by Bugs 1 and 2 is not helpful in diagnosing the problem:
[jwsc] Error at line:46 col:7 ':' expected [?! -- [CDATA[ ]
3. Bug:
In the WSDL generated by wsdlc, the documentation elements have all of my html elements stripped out, as well as my xhtml and wsdl namespace references. This completely negates one of the best features of the documentation tag, being able to present the WSDL in a browser as a nicely formatted, human friendly document which is also the underlying WSDL that can be viewed when the person views the source document.
I label this as a bug because it greatly reduces the functionality of the resulting WSDL.
4. Annoyance:
The WSDL generated by wsdlc has all of my comments stripped out, except the comments in the xsd:schema section of the wsdl:types element. I would prefer that all my comments be left in the WSDL, but if comments must be stripped out then I think all of the comments should be stripped out.
5. Annoyance:
The WSDL generated by wsdlc has my CSS specification stripped.
Work around: I donâ€™t know if adding the CSS back will do any good because I have not yet created a deployable service (see the last issue below).
6. Annoyance:
The WSDL generated by wsdlc has different namespace prefixes than the ones I specified for my application's namespace and for the http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/ namespace.
Work around: Perform a find/replace on namespace prefixes "s0" and "s1" to return them to my prefered values.
Another thing I can do at this point is simply replace the generated WSDL in the jar file with my original WSDL. This would address issues 1 thru 6 above.
7. Annoyance:
The java source files created by wsdlc are put into a jar file. This makes it annoying when working within a traditional IDE like Eclipse because there is no way to reference the source files within the jar as working source.
Work around: Extract the source files from the jar and identify the resulting directory structure as part of the source structure of the project.
8. Bug:
The jwsc task complains if the same parameter name is used in multiple operations. I received the following Errors from jwsc:
[jwsc] C:\IDE\workspace\Acre-WL9.1\AppReleaseSOAPPort.java 0:0
[jwsc] [ERROR] - Parameter element "{http://acre.services.wendys.com/AppRelease/}garRequest" is not unique across document/literal bare WebService.
Since the operation names are unique, I see no reason to also require uniqueness in the parameter names used by those operations.
Work around: Use unique element names for the input parameters of the services operations.
9. Bug:
Once items 1, 2 and 8 above are taken care of, jwsc fails with the following error:
java.lang.AssertionError: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: weblogic.j2ee.descriptor.ApplicationBeanImpl
This seems to be due to the weblogic.jar file not being in the System Classpath.
However, I should note that when I set verbose="on" and debug="on" in the jwsc ant task, there was a message from the task which stated "[jwsc] [search path for class files: [big freakinâ€™ jar list]". In the big freakinâ€™ jar list, I did find weblogic.jar and weblogic.jar has the required ApplicationBeanImpl. This indicates to me that the jwsc task does not fully honor either its classpathref attribute, nor an embedded classpath element.
Work around: Make sure the weblogic.jar is in the System Classpath.
10. Bug:
I fixed bug #9 by running a setDomainEnv script and then ran my ant task. This time I received the following output:
ant build-serviceBuildfile: build.xml
build-service:
[jwsc] 1 JWS files will be processed.
[jwsc] Processing JWS: C:\IDE\workspace\Acre-WL9.1\src\com\wendys\services\acre\AppReleaseServiceImpl.java
[jwsc] JWS: C:\IDE\workspace\Acre-WL9.1\src\com\wendys\services\acre\AppReleaseServiceImpl.java Validated.
[AntUtil.deleteDir] Deleting directory <some temporary directory>
BUILD FAILED
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
At this point, I am completely stymied about how to proceed.
I wonder what new issues await once this 10th issue is addressed.
Really, is this tool set ready for prime time?

Sorry to hear you are having so many issues with using the WLS 9.1 web service Ant tasks, inside of Eclipse.
I generally create a User Library for the couple weblogic jars needed, and use it (the User Library) in my Eclipse projects that I create JWSes in. 
I also have a separate WebLogic Library in Eclipse (actually 2 libraries since I work with WL 8.1 and now WL 9.1). As you may know, one of the long-standing issues with the Ant integration within Eclipse is the fact that Ant, being an External Tool, does not receive the Project-specific Paths/Libraries. However, since most Java-relevant Ant tasks can take classpath and classpathref attributes, this is usually not an issue. In the case of the BEA-supplied wsdlc Ant task, it is apparent from the verbose/debug console output that wsdlc can see the jars in its classpathref, but it ignores those references when resolving class references and instead only uses the system classpath.

I've only needed the weblogic.jar and xbean.jar, not all the ones you mentioned in an earlier thread of this post. 
I have not tried to winnow down exactly which jars are required. I simply included all the jars that exist and were added to the system classpath by the setDomainEnv.bat file created by WebLogic 9.1.

Afterwards, I create an Ant Builder to build the JWS Web Service EAR, as opposed to fiddlin' with Eclipse. 
I too use Ant to build my deployable archives. Eclipse is simply my IDE of choice. I validated that all the issues I listed occurred when running Ant from the command line.

If you are interested in how I do it, send me an e-mail (to [email protected]), and I'll send you a zip of one of these JWS projects. The build.xml script for the project, takes care of a lot of the "annoyances" you mentioned, one of which I think is not accurate. I have never had a situation where the wsdlc Ant task "overwrote" my XXXImpl.java file.. 
Since I'm doing a POC to determine how we want to proceed with developing Web Services and an SOA in general, I tried to perform the same tasks using Axis 2 1.0, the WebLogic 9.1 tools, and XFire 1.1. Overwriting the Impl class is a common failing in the tools which take a WSDL and create Java source files for all three frameworks.

Try my scenario. Add another operation to an existing WSDL, and run the wsdlc Ant Task. The old IMPL class will be over-written.

Because of this, I have a separate Impl class and I make sure that all its methods and annotations match the methods and annotations in the Skeleton Impl class created by wsdlc.

Maybe that's because I use the <exec> Ant task with jar.exe (the xvf options) in my build.xml, to only get what I need out of the .jar/.zip the wsdlc generates. I'm typically only interest in the interface class that my XXXImpl.java file needs to implements, because I use XMLBeans for the input args (and return values) of my web service operations. 
Perhaps. I am not using XMLBeans in any of the three frameworks because the resulting service seems to be lighter-weight in all three frameworks if XMLBeans is not used. I'm sure there will be scenarios where XMLBeans is preferred, but I have not encountered that case in this POC.

Mike Wooten
Thanks for the follow-up.

Foreach Loop Container with a Data Flow Task looking for file from Connection Manager

So I have a Data Flow Task within a Foreach Loop Container. The Foreach Loop Container has a Variable Mapping of User:FileName to pass to the Data Flow Task.
The Data Flow Task has a Flat File Source since we're looking to process .csv Files. And the Flat File Source has a Flat File Connection Manager where I specified the File name when I created it. I thought you needed to do this even though it won't really
use it since it should be getting its File name from the Foreach Loop Container. But when attempting to execute, it is blowing up because it seems to be looking for my test file name that I indicated in the Flat File Connection Manager rather than the file
it should be trying to process in User:FileName from the Foreach Loop Container.
What am I doing wrong here??? I thought you needed to indicate a File name within the Flat File Connection Manager even though it really won't be using it.
Thanks for your review...I hope I've been clear...and am hopeful for a reply.
PSULionRP

The Flat File Connection manager's Connection String needs to be set to reference the variable used in the ForEach Loop:

Problems with wlserver ant task for WL 8.1

hi
i have a problem with using wlserver ant task for Weblogic 8.1
basically i want to start the server that is already preconfigured and deploy
one ear.
here's what i do:
<taskdef name="wlserver" classname="weblogic.ant.taskdefs.management.WLServer">
<classpath refid="lib.classpath"/>
</taskdef>
<wlserver action="start" dir="D:/BEA/user_projects/domains/mydomain"
output="wls81.log"/>
(and then the deployment task - irrelevant here)
the classpath is generated automatically and includes all jars in the specific
project directory:
 <path id="lib.classpath">
 <fileset dir="${proj.lib.dir}">
 <include name="**/*.jar"/>
 </fileset>
 </path>
(weblogic.jar is there as well)
the problem is when i run it, the following happens:
- if i have action="start" (or no action attribute at all), i get the following
exception:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at weblogic.Home.<init>(Home.java:29)
at weblogic.Home.getInstance(Home.java:86)

at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.main(Main.java:235)
- if i change it to action="startup" as specified on "wlserver Ant Task Reference"
it seems that this task is skipped completely. no error messages, no stack trace,
nothing. i tried -verbose and -debug options on ant, but there're no logs displayed
whatsoever. it takes less than a second to run this task so i presume it's just
getting skipped completely.
i run this from the standalone Ant 1.5.4 on Windows environment.
i've followed the topic "wlserver Ant task for WebLogic 8.1" where kind of similar
problem is described but putting weblogic.jar on the system CLASSPATH is not an
option for this project.
anyone has any idea about how to get this going?
cheers
Andrei

sounds bug to me. NPE should be correctly handled with appropriate error
message. Please contact BEA support to log the call.

- if i change it to action="startup" as specified on "wlserver Ant TaskReference"
it seems that this task is skipped completely. no error messages, no stacktrace,
nothing. i tried -verbose and -debug options on ant, but there're no logsdisplayed
whatsoever. it takes less than a second to run this task so i presume it'sjust
getting skipped completely.
i run this from the standalone Ant 1.5.4 on Windows environment.
i've followed the topic "wlserver Ant task for WebLogic 8.1" where kind ofsimilar
problem is described but putting weblogic.jar on the system CLASSPATH isnot an
option for this project.
anyone has any idea about how to get this going?

Using Ant task wlserver/wlconfig: Received exception while creating connection for pool.

Hi,
I am using ant tasks wlserver and wlconfig to configure my weblogic server. while creating a connection pool as shown below
<target name="jdbcinfo">
<wlconfig password="weblogic"
username="weblogic"
url="${url}"
<query domain="mydomain" type="Server"
name="myserver" property="serverbean"
/>
<create type="JDBCConnectionPool"
name="jdbcpoolA"
property="jdbcPoolProp">
<set value="false"
attribute="ShrinkingEnabled"
<set value
attribute="
<set value="${serverbean}"
attribute="Targets"/>
The JDBCConnectionPool is created as long as I don't specified the attribute "Targets"
Once I add the target I get the following error
<JDBC> <BEA-001129> <Received exception while creating connection for pool "poolname" invalid arguments in call>
Please any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

In your applicaion module configurations check if you are using 'JDBC URL' or 'JDBC DataSource'. You should use JDBC DataSource. Then make sure that your deployment descriptor (menu 'Application->Application Properties->Deployment) has the 'Auto Generate ...' checkbox set.
