Hi,
I am using ANT with Starteam and having some troubles. Right now my build
script makes around 30 separate calls to Starteam targets (stcheckout, stlabel
exclusively). When the build is finished Starteam seems to get into a weird
state where everything is extremely slow (i.e. using the Starteam gui to
checkin or checkout code is really slow). The slowness eventually goes away,
some sort of timeout I am guessing. I tried to help myself and started poking
around the ANT source code to see how the Starteam API is used. I think I
found the call to the Starteam API that connects to the server, it is:
In class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.starteam.StarTeamTask
The function is:
/**
* All subclasses will call on this method to open the view needed for
* processing. This method also saves a reference to the
* <code>Server</code> that may be accessed for information at various
* points in the process.
*
* @return the <code>View</code> that will be used for processing.
* @see #createSnapshotView(View)
* @see #getServer()
*/
protected View openView() throws BuildException {
logStarteamVersion();
View view = null;
try {
view = StarTeamFinder.openView(getViewURL());
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new BuildException(
"Failed to connect to " + getURL(), e);
}
if (null == view) {
throw new BuildException("Cannot find view" + getURL() +
" in repository()");
}
View snapshot = createSnapshotView(view);
this.server = snapshot.getServer();
return snapshot;
}
You can see from the comments that this code returns a Starteam view (and keeps
a connection to the server) to the caller. My question is, does this
connection have to be closed after you are finished using it???? I have found
no code in the ANT source that actually disconnects ( if there is some please
point me to it). I have been in contact with the Borland support who claim
there is disconnect method that can be called to disconnect from the server (I
am not sure it applies in this case). I have requested the Starteam API docs
from Borland but they seem to be ignoring me. Hoping someone here would know.
