All,
I discovered recently that it's pretty much impossible to run the JSPC
task more than once. Others have had this issue before (I researched
the list a bit) and it seems like it's more of a taskdef problem. The
issue is this:
<taskdef classname="org.apache.jasper.JspC" name="jasper2">
<classpath>
... dynamic path elements here like so: ...
<pathelement location="lib/plugin-${plugin}.jar" />
</classpath>
</taskdef>
Calling that once is ok but calling it twice with a different set of
jars (notice the pathelement is dynamic) results in an error:
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
That traces to the org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Definer class at line 457:
addDefinition(..) method:
...
if (onError != OnError.IGNORE) {
cl = Class.forName(classname, true, al); // Line 457
}
..
I don't know if this is possible but I'd like to be able to do a
taskdef more than once. I'd expect that it would just override the
previous definition. Is that possible?
Also, is the user list the right place for this? I can repost to the
dev list if it's more appropriate.
Cheers,
--Bill
