I agree that a lot of the value of the ant scripting support is to
help make it clearer how to assemble Tuscany webapps either manually
or using build tools for which we don't provide special support.
For the remote dependency loading that I am working on for ant,
I am keeping this very much in mind and I intend to create a solution
that is transparent as well as functional.

Hi, Simon.
The ant script looks good to me.
I would suggest that we document the web app packaging scheme and
runtime classloading behavior. I already have some related information
collected at http://wiki.apache.org/ws/Tuscany/TuscanyJava/WebApp. It
will help the users understand the rationale and potentially use manual
steps or alternative approach as illustrated by your ant script.
IMHO, Ant and Maven are two build tools. Making Ant to deal with remote
and transitive dependencies will not necessarily lower the bar for
users. The whole purpose of this excercise is that we tell users the
story and give them choices to either assemble the web application
manually by copying a bunch of jars to the right location or
automatically by using maven, ant or some other tools.
BTW, would it be acceptable to download individual jars from the maven
repo using HTTP as we don't have an all-in-one binary distro?
Thanks,
Raymond

Subject: Updated ant scripts attached to TUSCANY-906
I have attached updated ant scripts for calculator and helloworldws
to TUSCANY-906. Following Raymond's suggestion, they eliminate all
the <copy> tasks. This makes them less "scary" than the previous
versions, and makes it easier to see how to build a Tuscany standalone
application or a Tuscany webapp. Any further suggestions for
improvement are very welcome.
At present these scripts still use standard ant tasks and so require
the 2 Tuscany webapp jars to be available locally. I'm now going to
start working on a solution that can handle remote dependencies.
