HI Luis,
Iam still wondering if you can help me in writing a simple JSP that invokes my ANT targets.
 
This is how my build.xml file looks like and it has got 3 targets. I can run these ANT targets by typing in UNIX box>ant deploy-ias-testnet
 
and it works !!!!!
 
thanks for your help on that last time.
 
But i wanted wrap these ANT targets with a simple JSP page which displays my 3 targets and when i select the first target and then hit "enter" it basically invokes the selected and the corresponding ANT target.
 
Please help me !!!

Try to write a JSP file that executes just the runAnt() method and the OutputStream must be de default output for your JSP file.

Let me see if I can find some time to do this.

ohhh ok. So i need to install Exceed and configure it .........correct ?
This is the only way to access this Applet (on unix).

mmmm.... sounds like you do not have any GUI interface (such an XWindow or something like that). I have tried to use this applet in Unix (Sun Sparc 5.8) but I used Exceed client[1] to connect from my windows workstation, and it worked fine. 

If you are trying to execute the applet from a simple telnet console (such as windows telnet client) you will not be able to execute it, since that kind of client does not have the ability to load / execute Graphic Environment

Thanks Luis,
Now the applet works. But it works only on Windows machine. When i migrated this Applet to a unix box, this is what iam getting. Please Note that the Applet compiled succesfully on unix box too but it is only when iam trying to run this applet that the applet is failing.
This is the error iam getting when running this applet on unix box:

root@reliant2# java -classpath /opt/bea/jdk141_03/jre/lib/rt.jar:/opt/bea/weblogic81/server/lib/ant/ant.jar: org.apache.tools.ant.antgui.TestApplet

any ideas or solution is higly appreciated.

you might want to create a separated project and create the full to run this class; i.e.

\org\apache\tools\ant\antgui
|
|----> TestApplet.java

Then, compile the class like:

\org\apache\tools\ant\antgui> javac -classpath %JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\rt.jar;%ANT_HOME%\lib\ant.jar TestApplet.java 

Finally, execute your class like

java -cp %JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\rt.jar;%ANT_HOME%\lib\ant.jar;. org.apache.tools.ant.antgui.TestApplet

You must be able to see the applet and execute it.

iam confused. This is where i originally kept this class:

C:\bea\wlserver6.1\config\beaMonitor\applications\JMXStatistics\WEB-INF\classes\parsing

And hence i put: 

package parsing; 

on top of this class.

But you are saying that i need to put this package name as 

package org.apache.tools.ant.antgui;
instead of
package parsing;

Then when iam putting the package name as you suggested then iam getting this error:
This package doesnot correspond to the file path 'parsing'

do i need to create this class somewhere else i.e where the ANT is installed or where ???

please suggest.


"Conelly, Luis (PS, GNF, Contractor)" wrote:
Shailesh,

If you remember, in the class I sent, I declared the package as:

package org.apache.tools.ant.antgui;

but you declared the package as:

package parsing;

I've been looking around the source code (ant 1.6) and I found that the setProject(Project) method is public, but just in the abstract class org.apache.tools.ant.ProjectComponent, which inherits to org.apache.tools.ant.Task and this inherits to org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.ExecTask. When you are trying to access to this method from an outside package the compiler does not allows you, since the method is not explicitely declared in Task or ExecTask classes.

My suggestion: change the package name

I have made the required changes as you directed but while compiling iam getting this error:

Remove that line. I accidentally left it but it is not usefull at all.

BTW, make sure you are setting the right paths for the lines:

-----------------------------------------
exec.setExecutable("/bin/ant.bat");
exec.setDir(new java.io.File(""));
Commandline.Argument arg = exec.createArg();
arg.setLine("-buildfile /build.xml ");
-----------------------------------------

Luis,
Iam using WLS 8.1 and iam using the ANT that comes along with it. The example that you gave me doesn't seems to work for me as i doesn't have the package called: 

import com.borland.jbcl.layout.*;


what should i do ?

And i have set the classpath as:
c:\bea8.1\weblogic8.1\server\lib\ant\ant.jar

Please help.

Of course you need the ant.jar file in your classpath to execute this class. It can be executed as stand alone or in a web browser...
