First of all, thank you to all the people who responded to this distress
call.
I thought I would give the results of today's hard head scratching.
The problem didn't lay in the build.xml files but the ant.bat file. Like I
said in the first email we are trying to set and build everything in the
build.xml file and hence the environment CLASSPATH is not set.
If this is the case the ant deploy line in the ant.bat becomes:
Y:\fsp\server>c:\java\jdk1.3\bin\java -classpath
"c:\java\jdk1.3\lib\tools.jar";"c:\Progra~1\Ant\lib\parser.jar";"c:\Progra~1
\Ant\lib\jaxp.jar";"c:\Progra~1\Ant\lib\jakarta-ant-1.3-optional.jar";"c:\Pr
ogra~1\Ant\lib\ant.jar"; -Dant.home="c:\Progra~1\Ant"
-Djikes.class.path=C:\java\jikes-1.14\bin org.apache.tools.ant.Main
-Dweblogic.home=c:\weblogic -Dtoplink.home=c:\toplink -Dweblogic.deploy=W:\
deploy
Note the ';' at the end of the -classpath added by the automatic
construction of LOCALCLASSPATH variable. This IS the problem.
Resolution: Add this line to the 'checkJava' section of the ant.bat
if "%CLASSPATH%" == "" set LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%\.
to give
.
.
.
:checkJava
set _JAVACMD=%JAVACMD%
for %%i in ("%ANT_HOME%\lib\*.jar") do call "%ANT_HOME%\bin\lcp.bat" "%%i"
if "%JAVA_HOME%" == "" goto noJavaHome
if "%_JAVACMD%" == "" set _JAVACMD=%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java
if exist "%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar" call "%ANT_HOME%\bin\lcp.bat"
"%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar"
if exist "%JAVA_HOME%\lib\classes.zip" call "%ANT_HOME%\bin\lcp.bat"
"%JAVA_HOME%\lib\classes.zip"
rem The automation above doesn't account for the CLASSPATH not being set.
if "%CLASSPATH%" == "" set LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%\.
goto checkJikes
:noJavaHome
if "%_JAVACMD%" == "" set _JAVACMD=java
echo.
echo Warning: JAVA_HOME environment variable is not set.
echo If build fails because sun.* classes could not be found
.
.
.
This makes sure that ';' not at the end of the classpath, by adding a '.'
local dir.
