Wscompile: -mapping is an invalid option or argument

Question

Hi,
I am using the wscompile to generate my ports and mappings for a webservice from a given wsdl. I am using the following ant-task:
<wscompile
  import="true"
  nonClassDir="${webservice.ports}"
  features="nodatabinding,documentliteral,wsi"
  mapping="${webservice.ports}/${mapping.file}"
  config="${resources.main.dir}/${config.file}"
  base="${webservice.ports.classes}"
  sourceBase="${webservice.ports.src}"
>
   <classpath refid="project.classpath"/>
</wscompile>which gives me the following error:
[wscompile] error: -mapping is an invalid option or argument
[wscompile] Command invoked: wscompile -d /workspace/WebserviceDefinitions/target/ports/classes
-features:nodatabinding,documentliteral,wsi
-import
-keep
-mapping /workspace/WebserviceDefinitions/target/ports/signupservices-mapping.xml
-nd /workspace/WebserviceDefinitions/target/ports
-s /workspace/WebserviceDefinitions/target/ports/src /workspace/WebserviceDefinitions/src/main/resources/signupservices-config.xml -classpath /workspace/WebserviceDefinitions/bin:/workspace/libraries/xmlbeans/jsr173_api.jar:/workspace/libraries/xmlbeans/resolver.jar:/workspace/libraries/xmlbeans/xbean_xpath.jar:/workspace/libraries/xmlbeans/xbean.jar:/workspace/libraries/xmlbeans/xmlpublic.jar:/workspace/libraries/jaxrpc/jaxrpc-api.jar:/workspace/libraries/jaxrpc/jaxrpc-impl.jar:/workspace/libraries/jaxrpc/jaxrpc-spi.jar:/workspace/libraries/wsdl2java/wsdl4j.jar:/workspace/libraries/rpc/jaxrpc.jar:/workspace/libraries/rpc/saaj.jarDoes anybody have an idea what's going wrong here?!
cheers

Apparently the mapping problem is a known error. To get around it, use the fork option in your wscompile task. For example:
<!-- This target compiles the server components using an existing WSDL as the driving document.
       The configuration file must use the <wsdl> element giving the location (local file system
       or URL) of the WSDL document.
       Note: the fork argument is needed to over come a bug when using the mapping argument. See
       http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=592994&tstart=0
  -->
     <target name="generate-server-from-WSDL" depends="init">
          <wscompile fork="yes"
                       keep="true"
                       base="${basedir}/WebContent/WEB-INF/classes"
                       import="true"
                       features="wsi"
                       xPrintStackTrace="true"
                       verbose="true"
                       mapping="${basedir}/WebContent/WEB-INF/jaxrpc-mapping.xml"
                       sourcebase="${basedir}/src"
                       config="${config.server.doclit.file}">
               <classpath>
                    <path refid="compile.classpath" />
               </classpath>
          </wscompile>
     </target>
