Hi Todd,

the problem is your call to Class.forName(String) in ...Engine.
This uses Engine's Classloader.

There are the following ways to add user-defined classes:

1. let the user add them to the classpath of the task's classloader or a =
one
of it's parents by
1.1. specify them in <taskdef>'s classpath-attribute of the migrate-task =
or
1.2. add them via something like the <classloader> task (see
http://enitsys.sourceforge.net/ant-classloadertask/)

or (IMHO better)

2. refactor the Engine class:
All methods that use Class.forName(String) should get an parameter
"ClassLoader classloader" and you should
use Class.forName(String,boolean,ClassLoader) instead.
The methods with the "old" signature should be redirected to the new =
methods
with classloader=3DEngine.class.getClassLoader().
In your task you have to create a new Classloader:
if cp is your resolved classpathref, use new
AntClassLoader(getClass().getClassLoader(),getProject(),cp) to construct =
the
new classpath.

cheers

Rainer Noack

Betreff: Re: How do I set a classpath for my custom task?

The project is non platform specific, so it can run in a container, in
a swing app, or from the command line.  The project applies schema
changes to a database.  The user creates a class that implements a
single interface, adding code that the project uses to apply the
changes.  I've currently got this working from the command line and in
a servlet (in it's init method).  I really want to create a simple to
use ant task so schema changes can be applied prior to deployment,
test runs, or whatever, but I can't get this classloader thing figured
out.

Not sure if it's helpful, but if you need more specifics about what
I'm trying to do, the project is on sourceforge under the name
migrate4j.  If there's more info that I can provide, just let me know.

Todd
