To whom it may concern,
I just download the AXIS package from Apache website. I'm specially interested in the project that convert a WSDL file to JAVA files and vice versa. This is really a great tool. I like it very much. There is one little thing that I'd like to ask you for help. That is, I try rebuild the project using the following command: java org.apache.tools.ant.Main <target> where target: - compile -> creates the "axis.jar" package in "./build/lib" - javadocs -> creates the javadocs in "./build/javadocs" - dist -> creates the complete binary distribution - srcdist -> creates the complete src distribution - functional-tests -> attempts to build Ant task and then run client-server functional test Unfortunately it fails to do it (on my system, WIN2K Advanced Server). The error message that shows at the DOS command prompt is: C:\xml-axis\java>java org.apache.tools.ant.Main compile Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tools/ant/Main That means that I don't have the 'ant' utility on my system or I haven't configure my system correctly. Then I download the 'ant' utility and try to build it again, it still fails. Here is the error message: C:\xml-axis\java>ant compile Buildfile: build.xml setenv: BUILD FAILED C:\xml-axis\java\build.xml:170: Could not create task of type: condition. Common solutions are to use taskdef to declare your task, or, if this is an optional task, to put the optional.jar in the lib directory of your ant installation (ANT_HOME). Total time: 0 seconds So could you please show me how to set up the system to build the axis project? Sincerely Philippe Pham |
