http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19768 request for "daemon" attribute for <java> task Summary: request for "daemon" attribute for <java> task Product: Ant Version: 1.6Alpha (nightly) Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I want to suggest to add a feature daemon with boolean value to the <java> task, to enable <ant> to start services based on java with a <java> task call. Currently if i start e.g. the tomcat server with a forked jvm, ant waits until the server has shut down again. So the task should look like: ------------------------- <java fork="yes" daemon="yes" classname="${tomcat-bootstrap}"> <arg value="${param}" /> <sysproperty key="catalina.base" value="${catalina-home}" /> <sysproperty key="catalina.home" value="${catalina-home}" /> <sysproperty key="java.io.tmpdir" value="${catalina-temp}" /> <sysproperty key="java.endorsed.dirs" value="${java.endorsed.dirs}" /> <classpath refid="tomcat-4.1-cp" /> </java> ------------------------- as far as i understand ant, fork="yes" should be present for the daemon task to work. Iff this would work, java driven services could get rid of os specific startup scripts, making the setup and maintaining even easier. A (minor) drawback would be, that ant will then be a prerequisite for running. see http://archives.apache.org/eyebrowse/[EMAIL PROTECTED] org&msgNo=30487 and (with example script) http://archives.apache.org/eyebrowse/[EMAIL PROTECTED] org&msgNo=30476
