The following comment has been added to this issue: Author: Adrian Bigland Created: Thu, 4 Aug 2005 10:14 AM Body: I would like to second this comment. It would probably be difficult, but if I say to XDoclet 'please generate JMX interfaces for simple MBeans under this directory' and XDoclet doesn't find any there, I would prefer an error rather than XDoclet just saying 'nothing to do then' and letting Ant carry on with the build process.
What is particularly annoying is when starting out with XDoclet, and not realising that you have to set your fileset directory to the top of your source directory i.e. with src/java/uk/... creating a fileset at src will do no good, it has to be src/java. If you get it wrong you just get silence by default. I also find it incredibly difficult to figure out how to turn on debugging level logging in XDoclet classes. I have tried setting commons logging properties to use Log4J and to set up a log4j.properties file - I am experienced at using Log4j so that was no problem, but these settings have no effect. I can't get a clue as to why I get no logging. I appreciate that there may good reasons why logging is set up this way - but could we please have some documentation on how to set this up? --------------------------------------------------------------------- View this comment: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/xdoclet/browse/XDT-1409?page=comments#action_17102 --------------------------------------------------------------------- View the issue: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/xdoclet/browse/XDT-1409 Here is an overview of the issue: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: XDT-1409 Summary: Debug XDoclet errors in Ant Type: Improvement Status: Open Priority: Major Original Estimate: Unknown Time Spent: Unknown Remaining: Unknown Project: XDoclet Versions: 1.2.3 Assignee: xdoclet-devel (Use for new issues) Reporter: Roberto Nanamura Created: Thu, 19 May 2005 10:02 PM Updated: Thu, 4 Aug 2005 10:14 AM Environment: any Description: There should be a better way to debug problems with XDoclet in the ant tasks even with verbose no log or message is given in some failures. If it does not find the class, it should log this. Instead the task is silent even in verbose mode (which does not add much, is it working?) Every time I have to debug an issue in XDoclet is a hassle and I spend dyas to do this.... Nice tool but only if it works :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- JIRA INFORMATION: This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
