At first glance, it seems to be a Gump problem.
The exception happens when the reference to the <path> named
"classpath" defined in axis/java/xmls/path_refs.xml gets expanded
inside the <taskdef> from axis/java/xmls/taskdefs_post_compile.xml
that is included in axis/java/samples/transport/build.xml, which in
turn has been called by <ant> from axis/java/buildTest.xml.
You sure know how to complicate builds ;-)
Gump invokes Ant with -Dlib.dir=lib which then overrides the
definition in properties.xml (that would point to ${axis.home}/lib
using the absolute path).
This in turn means that this part
<fileset dir="${lib.dir}">
<include name="**/*.jar"/>
</fileset>
of path_refs.xml now is "lib" relative to the basedir of the build
file - in build.xml it is axis/java/samples/transport/lib. The
problem we see.
The "Caught exception" message comes from the <path> included, it
doesn't hurt too much.
The build failure happens, when the path gets used in the first
taskdef from taskdefs_post_compile.
After this analysis, -Dlib.dir=lib looks the problem and has been
introduced a month ago [1]. I'd be content and happy, but then again
- it gets built successfully in my Gump environment that uses the 1.5
branch of Ant. Honestly, I don't know why 8-)
I'll investigate further, but thought I'd share what I've found so
far.
