Subject: Re: quotes in args for exec
Hi,
thanks, yes I had seen your first comment and I can confirm that the mix of
both
relative and absolute paths is correct. my original build file contained a
set
of properties (no hard coded values). In order to debug the problem I
started
by successfully executing the command outstide ant. I then replaced the
values
in build.xml with the values which worked correctly from cmd. But to my
suprise
ant failed. I believe the 'classpath' argument is in this case a red
herring.
It is not the classpath for the underlying java executable but it is a
parameter
needed by the executable. When this parameter contains more than one
section
delimited by a ';' the value of the parameter needs to be quoted. The
relative
paths are fine as they are relative to the where I am executing ant from.
(btw,
I have tried with dir set and with absolute paths for all of the parameters
with
the same error.)
I need to execute this
D:\java\jwsdp-1_0\bin\xrpcc.bat -server -classpath
"D:\projects\coffeebreak-common\target\coffeebreak-common-1.0.jar;target\cla
sses"
-d target\classes conf\config.xml
but ant is giving me this
D:\java\jwsdp-1_0\bin\xrpcc.bat -server -classpath
D:\projects\coffeebreak-common\target\coffeebreak-common-1.0.jar;target\clas
ses
-d target\classes conf\config.xml
If I execute this line on cmd I get the same error as I am getting when I
run
from witin ant.
If you have any idea how to pass quotes within the arg I'd be grateful.
(note the missing quotes)
