The task that you are using must support use of the classpath element.
Look at the examples in the docs. That's how I did mine.
BTW: trim your emails of the ugly html extras at the bottom.

Common solutions are to use taskdef to declare your task, or, if

your ant installation (ANT_HOME).

that makes the job, but, they want to change to Ant and XML structure. The
follow is a fragment of the .bat file I'm trying to put into an xml file:

> set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;d:\j2sdkee1.2.1\lib\ejb10deployment.jar
> set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;d:\j2sdkee1.2.1\lib
> As you can see using the SET property in a .bat file works fine. Also
I've been checking the documentation on line, I thought the info there would
solve my problem, but not.

or what could be my problem of the xml I'm using?
