When viewing the API documentation, there are NO examples of the code syntax.  
How can I use an ANT task when I don't know the structure of the syntax and the 
correct way to use attributes of it?   Your API references do NOT help me!   
Please help!   Is there another source where I can find ANT task commands and 
how to use them?

problem running  task on multiple ejb jars

   Summary: problem running  task on multiple ejb jars
   Product: Ant
   Version: 1.6.1
  Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
  Severity: Minor
  Priority: Other
 Component: Optional Tasks
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


When the  subtask is run on multiple directories to produce multiple 
ejb jars, each directory includes generated classes from the previous 
directories.

In other words, if the task is run on directories X, Y and Z, Y.jar contains 
classes from X and Z.jar contains classes from Y and Z.  If the task is run 
separately on X, Y and Z only the correct classes are included.

The files that are added are of the form:

<*>POAInvokeHandler.class
<*>POA.class
<*>Operations.class
<*>.class
<*>.class

The problem seems to be in the writeJar() method in BorlandDeploymentTool.java:

...
_genfiles.clear();  // <--- added this line

buildBorlandStubs(homes.iterator());

//add the gen files to the collection
files.putAll(_genfiles);

super.writeJar(baseName, jarFile, files, publicId);
...

And the correct files were incorporated in ejb jars.  Not sure of this is the 
correct solution but it seems to be.

We already wrote a Custom classloader, and it already exhibit
non-standard behavior. And they are already registered at least 
as an event listener. So they could as well register for
a "please close your files" events as well.

If the file disapears and classes cannot be loaded after that,
then it should just throw a ClassNotFoundException or whatever.

rexec hangs





--- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2004-02-13 15:49 ---
think I've worked out what's going on here. Ant's rexec task tries to login 
using this code : 
/**
 *  Process a 'typical' login.  If it differs, use the read
 *  and write tasks explicitely
 */
private void login() {
if (addCarriageReturn) {
rexec.sendString("\n", true);
}
rexec.waitForString("ogin:");
rexec.sendString(userid, true);
rexec.waitForString("assword:");
rexec.sendString(password, false);
}


It is expecting the username and password prompts to be 'Login' & 'Password'. 
I am running REXECD/NT from denicomp.com on a win2k server as win2k doesn't 
ship with a RexecD service. Its rexec login is in this format 

Name (a.machine.com:auser):  myusername
Password (a.machine.com:auser): mypassword

So this is what's causing the hang.

To solve this I believe we need to explicitly use  &  within our 
 task (as per the javadoc comments).


One point I might make is that the rexecClient provided by commons-net logs on 
in the following independant manner

_output_.write(username.getBytes());
_output_.write('\0');
_output_.write(password.getBytes());
_output_.write('\0');
_output_.write(command.getBytes());
_output_.write('\0');
_output_.flush();

I've used the example in net-commons : /net-commons/src/java/examples/rexec.java
 successfully with my rexecD on a win2k server

Re: Microsoft XML scripting patent

Not a layer, but I do not think it applies to ANT

What I understood is that they pattented having
a bunch of different scripts in different languages
all sitting on the same file separated by XML tags
and being able to call each separate script in the 
collection from a menu.

So, it sound not like a pattent on scripting, but on
how to store collections of scripts in one file and being
able to execute them.
Any pattent layer around?

I do know this from spending time with them.

Maybe what is needed here, is a way to tell ALL AntClassLoaders

After all, keeping the JARs open is just an optimization.
   

Well, after reading the antlib.xml, sure you could close the JAR, but once a
URLClassLoader from the JDK starts using classes from the JAR (and most
likely even before that), that JAR will stay open so it's not swapped under
the JVM. I know for sure the Linux JVM memory-maps those JARs in the process
address space, and it's very possible the Windows VM does something similar
(thus the lock on the JAR file).
I'm not sure Ant wants to go into the business of writing some custom

And on [1] you can see, that´s very old. First version on that location

The example provided on the web page showing MS's patent show an xml 
file containing a .bat file and a .vbs script, both rewritten in some 
xml format.

As someone else wrote, it is a little bit like an ant script with 
several scriptdefs in it.

The MS patent talks about specific XML elements :

Jan

 

The example provided on the web page showing MS's patent show an xml 
file containing a .bat file and a .vbs script, both rewritten in some 
xml format.

As someone else wrote, it is a little bit like an ant script with 
several scriptdefs in it.

The MS patent talks about specific XML elements :

RE: Microsoft XML scripting patent

[Jose Alberto Fernandez]

I went are read the sumary of the patent
from the links provided.
Not a layer, but I do not think it applies to ANT
maybe to scriptdef, but that seemed like a streach.

What I understood is that they pattented having
a bunch of different scripts in different languages
all sitting on the same file separated by XML tags
and being able to call each separate script in the 
collection from a menu.

So, it sound not like a pattent on scripting, but on
how to store collections of scripts in one file and being
able to execute them.

Any pattent layer around?

Re: Ant 1.6.1 release / md5sum missing in the source distribution

Now I have found the reason why I did not generate the md5sum files when

the  task in the src-dist target failed, and md5sum files are 
normally generated after this delete.
I had not paid attention to this failure.
I do not know why the delete failed, maybe this was due to the Norton 
Antivirus Daemon looking at this directory ?
It is not a reproducible problem.

Why does the antlib file or JAR would stay open beyond
loading the classes and reading the antlib.xml?

Maybe what is needed here, is a way to tell ALL AntClassLoaders 
to please close their open files (JARS) and reopen if needed later.

After all, keeping the JARs open is just an optimization.

You can programatically instruct Ant to process builds, of course this
is in Java and you will then consider the implications of ensuring that
Ant is on classpath etc... .

As I can see from the rest of the post you have already made a start, if
your are finding that your needs seem like a poor match with what Ant is
offering, its probably because Ant is firstly a build tool, I find using
Jelly a useful alternative to consider.

regex with file mapper incorrectly handles ${file.separator}





--- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2004-02-13 09:37 ---
Blame billy for this.
The \ was chosen as a directory separator for dos althought it had
for a number of years been used as a escape character in C and also
in ed. The regular expressions in ed spread over the years to emacs, perl
and python retaining \ as an escape character.

The documentation for mapper is correct for most of the mapper types,
but not for the specific regex mapper.

In dos / may also be used as a directory separator so the following
will work in a platform independent (well dos, unix and mac) fashion:


   
  

  


However this does not work for the "from" field in a regex mapper

notes on embedding ANT

[Paul F. Williams]

I'm an ANT newbie.  Please forgive any newbie offenses.

I want to use ANT's task engine in my own app.  I don't want to invoke it
from a command line.  I don't want to run individual tasks myself.  I want
to use the ANT engine internally to process an XML script.  Maybe there is
an established way to use ANT this way, but I found none.

This script is in the META-INF directory of a JAR file.  I don't want to
extract the file to a temporary file and feed it to ANT.  Instead, I would
like to convert the script's ZipEntry to an InputStream and pass the stream
to ANT.

My current solution installs a project helper remarkably like the current
ProjectHelper2 class.  The main difference is that my parse() method is more
friendly to InputStreams.

My app's main method points ANT to my helper class via the system
properties.

I have an ANT engine wrapper much like Main.runBuild() that duplicates the
logic to run ANT.  It uses an InputStream instead of a File.

Everything works.  I pull the script as an InputStream and pass it to the
wrapper.  The wrapper passes the stream to the helper.  The helper parses
and runs the script.  (My next step is to provide my own specialized tasks
that I want ANT to resolve without a .)

Here are some obstacles I had to overcome:

1) I had to duplicate much of the functionality of the Main.runBuild method.
It would be nice if Main.runBuild() were refactored into a generic way to
start the ANT engine.  Doing so would make it easier for others to embed the
engine.

2) Main assumes a File (which is OK), but it would be nice if the code that
starts the engine would take an InputStream.

3) ProjectHelper.configureProject takes a File.  The actual
ProjectHelper.parse method takes an Object.  It would be nice if both used
Objects.

4) It would be nice if org.apache.tools.ant.helper.ProjectHelper2 were
friendly to InputStreams.  In fact, all the SAX parser needs is an
InputStream (converted into an InputSource).  The parser would not need to
close the stream; higher level methods would determine when to do so.  The
existing Main class would send a FileInputStream.  Other apps might send
their own InputStreams.  In short, streams seems like a more flexible
design.

One potential pitfall I see is ProjectHelper2 line 199:

inputSource.setSystemId(uri);

If the helper gets an InputStream, it will not have a URI.  I did not set
the URI, and it worked ok for me, but I don't know all the ramifications.

Do these suggestions sound reasonable?  If so, how might this pitiful wretch
of a newbie contribute?

This may not sound very common, but I use the same ant to build the jars that
are in the ant -lib  in 1.6, so when I try to delete them, it fails.

The problem is that I cannot change the ant script/env to remove the -lib ONLY
when I am building those jars. 

I am just asking for a File.deleteOnExit() option for .

(this may not be the bug to post this, but sounds like the problem you had is

task for antlib jars

[Mariano Benitez]

Hi!
   I am using antlibs, and I face the normal problem in windows of not 
being able of deleting the file while it is used.

   I know this discussion must have probably taken place, I could not 
just find it :( Has there been any attempt to use File.deleteOnExit() as 
an option for the task? or another task?
