Problem Using wlserver task in ant file

Question

I am trying to create a weblogic domain using the following in my ant file:
<target name="new-server">
<mkdir dir="/opt/deployment/domains" />
<wlserver dir="/opt/deployment/domains"
beahome="/opt/bea"
domainname="SandboxDomain"
servername="AdminServer"
host="localhost" port="7001"
generateConfig="true"
username="weblogic" password="password"
productionmodeenabled="false"
action="start" failonerror="true" />
</target>
However, I keep getting the following exception:
[wlserver] Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: weblogic/Server
I am executing the ant script by placing the weblogic.jar file in the lib directory of ant. I am also using ant version 1.6.2. Any suggestions on how to remedy this problem would be appreciated.

Hi,
Had the same problem, try adding the classpath attribute to the wlserver tasks.
example:
<wlserver dir="${SERVER_DOMAINS}/test_domain"
beahome="${SERVER_ROOT}"
weblogichome="${SERVER_WEBLOGIC_HOME}"
generateConfig="true"
host="localhost"
port="6001"
username="${WEBLOGIC_USER}"
password="${WEBLOGIC_PASSWORD}"
servername="testServer"
action="start"
classpath="<wl_installdir>\server\lib\weblogic.jar">
Regards,
