RE: Not able to build war file through ant
Hi Chandi,
I’m not sure if you are following the directions for building that are in
the README file in Subversion (source control) or some other instructions,
but this file outlines the correct target to use to build successfully:
https://mifos.dev.java.net/source/browse/*checkout*/mifos/trunk/mifos/README
You should take a look at this file. You’ll note that this file indicates
that you should *just* invoke ‘ant’ without any particular parameters in
order to run tests and build the WAR file. So, in your case, you would
simply type ‘ant’ at the command prompt in the directory where you have
the Mifos source code (and the build.xml file) and things should work
fine.
Note also that the README file linked above says that you can use “ant
clean compile copy_files war” as a method of building the WAR file without
running tests. I would not recommend this for now. I think you should
ensure that tests are running successfully on your machine.
So, try using just the just the ‘ant’ command and let us know how that
goes. Hopefully things will work successfully for you J
Thanks,
Aliya

RE: Not able to build war file through ant
Hi Chandi,
Thanks a lot for sending along your questions. I’ve copied the Mifos
developer list because we have a lot of new team members and community
members that are working through the same set of issue that you are. So
hopefully this email thread will help out others also.
First off, can you help me out by providing a little bit more detail about
the steps you are taking and environment you are running so that we have
some more details for troubleshooting? Here are some questions that would
help if you can answer:
1. Can you provide the environment you are running (operating
system, and version of all software you are using to build and deploy
Mifos). Examples of what information to include can be found on this
page: http://mifos.org/developers/wiki/DeveloperMachineConfigurations
2. SVN revision number you are trying to build
3. Version of Ant and TortoiseSVN you are using
4. Specific command you are calling when trying to build the
application (i.e. > ant <build target 1> <build target 2>, etc.) For
example, are you trying “ant dist” or something else when trying to build
the WAR file
5. Can you provide the any console output from the build process
when you try doing this?
In regards to your question about going through JBoss to build the WAR
file, that is a good question, but that is not possible. JBoss is not
related to building the WAR file but only used for deploying the WAR file
as your web application server. Once you have actually successfully built
the WAR file, then you can use either JBoss or Tomcat to deploy the
application. Either is fine for a first step to try to get things
working. We recommend using Tomcat 6 for v1.1 of Mifos (the current
version of the code), however you can also use JBoss as it should also
work (it is what we have used in the past). Once you have the hang of
building/deploying easily, I would definitely recommend Tomcat for testing
purposes, as that is our recommended servlet container for Mifos (plus it
is lighter and starts/stops faster so it is easier to use for testing).
Anyway, hopefully you can provide the above information and then we can
help you further with next steps based on that information.
Thanks,
Aliya

Subject: Not able to build war file through ant
Hi Aliya,
I joined last week in MIFOS application from IBM India team. I am
comfortable with front end and Database side of the application. I
downloaded the source code through TortoiseSVN Client.
I am able to build the database "mifos" and "test" using
build.xml through ant script. But war file is not creating in the dist
directory according to property file. Can you please guide me to build the
war file through ant script? Should I go for JBoss to build war file? And
another question, do I have to use JBoss for deployment or Tomcat will be
good enough for that?
Can you please let me know your thoughts ?
Thanks in Advance!!
Chandi
