Hi,
I am having an odd problem using Ant. Whenever my Java program tries to
create a new instance of java.util.logging.FileHandler, I get a
java.io.IOException that says "Couldn't get lock for log2\baz.log.xml".
The weird part of this problem is that I get this error when I am
running Ant but NOT when I simply execute the program in Eclipse.
I am running Eclipse 3.5.1 Galileo on Windows XP with SP 2. This version
of Eclipse contains Ant 1.7.1.
When I run the program from an Ant script within Eclipse OR from the
Windows command line (using Ant 1.8.0), I get the error that I
mentioned. However, when I run the program as a Java application from
within Eclipse, it works fine and does not generate this error.
I'm baffled and would appreciate some help to prevent this error.
I've created a simple example and an Ant build file that illustrates the
problem.
My project is called Logging and it is a regular Java project in
Eclipse. Within the package com.foo.baz2, which is in my src folder in
the Logging project, I have the following classes:
* Supremo, which is the driver program
* Alpha, which is the class invoked from Supremo which actually
writes to the log file
Here is the source code for Supremo:
================================
package com.foo.baz2;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.logging.FileHandler;
import java.util.logging.Handler;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
public class Supremo {
/**
* The name of this class.
*/
private final String CLASS_NAME = getClass().getName();
/**
* The logger that will log error messages in this class.
*/
private Logger logger = null;
/**
* The file handler used by this logger.
*/
private Handler logFileHandler = null;
/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
new Supremo();
System.out.println("=== Supremo ends ===");
}
public Supremo() {
configureLogger();
new Alpha(logger).writeText();
}
/**
* Method configureLogger() configures the logger(s) used by this
program.
*
* <p>Additional comments about method configureLogger().</p>
*/
private final void configureLogger() {
String METHOD_NAME = "configureLogger()"; //$NON-NLS-1$
/* Create the logger. */
this.logger = Logger.getLogger(CLASS_NAME);
/* Create a file handler for the logger. */
String logFile = "log2" + File.separator + "baz.log.xml";
try {
this.logFileHandler = new FileHandler(logFile);
}
catch (IOException io_excp) {
System.err.println(this.CLASS_NAME + "." + METHOD_NAME + " -
Couldn't create FileHandler for logger " + this.CLASS_NAME + " using
file " + logFile + ". Error: " + io_excp); //$NON-NLS-1$ //$NON-NLS-2$
//$NON-NLS-3$ //$NON-NLS-4$
io_excp.printStackTrace();
return;
}
this.logger.addHandler(this.logFileHandler);
/* Set the logging level. */
this.logger.setLevel(Level.FINEST);
}
}
================================
Here is the source code for Alpha:
================================
package com.foo.baz2;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
public class Alpha {
/**
* The name of this class.
*/
private final String CLASS_NAME = getClass().getName();
/**
* The logger that will log error messages in this class.
*/
private Logger logger = null;
public Alpha() {
super();
}
public Alpha(Logger logger) {
super();
this.logger = logger;
}
public void writeText() {
final String METHOD_NAME = "writeText()";
System.out.println(CLASS_NAME);
logger.entering(CLASS_NAME, METHOD_NAME);
}
}
================================
Here is the build file, which is named build2.xml:
