I didn't comment, because I have no idea what to answer. I know very little about Jasper. Remy

I'm just following the instructions... if I ought to be running Ant directly, then the instructions should say that ... :-) I don't suppose now I've got your attention you'd like to comment on the "Jasper calling response.flushBuffer() when included from servlet" problem I reported the other day??? :-) Its really bugging me not knowing if it's a bug or I'm missing something...

[t4] FYI: usual problems building according to README...
Hi tc4 people, I'm putting myself through the regular "build TC4 from source" hell that I do whenever I want to test the latest version. (this is on WinNT4) I came across the following issues, you may be aware of them already but I thought I'd report 'em just in case... 1) It no longer builds on JDK1.2. The README indicates 1.2 or later is required. I get the following errors on build dist for tomcat: build-main: [javac] Compiling 2 source files to D:\apps\jakarta\src\40b5\jakarta-tomcat-4.0\catalina\build\classes [javac] D:\apps\jakarta\src\40b5\jakarta-tomcat-4.0\catalina\src\share\org\apache\ca talina\servlets\CGIServlet.java:1567: Wrong number of arguments in metho d. [javac] proc = rt.exec(cmdAndArgs.toString(), hashToStringArray(env), wd); [javac] ^ [javac] D:\apps\jakarta\src\40b5\jakarta-tomcat-4.0\catalina\src\share\org\apache\ca talina\util\ProcessHelper.java:381: Wrong number of arguments in method. [javac] proc = rt.exec(cmdAndArgs.toString(), hashToStringArray(env), wd); [javac] ^ [javac] 2 errors BUILD FAILED Seems it's relying on a Runtime.exec() method overload which was added in JDK1.3 (interesting, the @since tag is missing? weird. Hope I'm not suffering brain-fade on this one...) 2) it seems to be depending on old versions of the projects it depends on: For example, the bootstrap.bat file for building jakarta-ant from source doesn't co-operate well with the other stuff. It sets - ANT_HOME=. - stuffs up the classpath (adds extra ""'s in there) - puts ant.jar in /bootstrap/lib rather than /lib where the other build scripts expect it. Also, jakarta-regexp currently builds jakarta-regexp-1.3-dev.jar rather than the jakarta-regexp-1.2.jar that the catalina build.xml expects. Seems you can just rename the jar file or I guess you could use cvs checkout -r RELEASE_1_2 jakarta-regexp 3) seems theres co-ordination problem between the jakarta-servletapi-4 and jakarta-tomcat. When I build I get the following error: BUILD FAILED D:\apps\jakarta\src\40b5\jakarta-tomcat-4.0\build.xml:129: D:\apps\jakarta\src\40b5\jakarta-servletapi-4\docs\api not found. build dist for the servlet API does create javadoc, but they are in the dist\docs\api dir... Apart from that it went well though :-) I'm cookin' with gas now... Geoff -- Keep cool till after school!
