Hi there. I have a problem when invoking ant (1.6.1) from a Quartz job which is scheduled in a webapp
I have placed the following ant jars in the webapps classpath (WEB-INF/lib) ant.jar ant-jakarta-log4j.jar (I attach a Log4jListner to my project) ant-launcher.jar (probably not needed) ant-nodeps.jar (I only allow the nodeps build in tasks for now ) I use the ProjectHelper to parse the build file similar to whats described in <http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/library/techarticles/0502_gawor/0502_gawor.html> The ant file that I invoke uses the ant-contrib (<http://ant-contrib.sf.net>) tasks, but Ant fails in <taskdef> since it cannot find the ant contrib resource I have placed the ant-contrib.jar below WEB-INF/lib along with the other, so it's on the webapp's classpath, and if I "manually" add the tasks using project.addTaskDefinition(...) the tasks can be used in the build.xml (that tells me that the ant-contrib.jar is on the classpath of the quartz thread) Doing the taskdef''s in my Quartz job is not really an option however, since I would like to keep the job generic, and placing the ant-contrib.jar somewhere in the filesystem so that the build.xml can explicitly reference it, is not what I want since that requires me to manually place the jar somewhere in the filesystem (I can't rely on the j2ee container actually extracting the war file and placing the ant-contrib.jar in some calculable path ) An extra "oddity" is that the SQL task that my ant file uses, has no trouble finding the JDBC driver which is also in the WEB-INF/lib dir So my question is : Is there any way of having taskdef pick up classes from the invoking classloader? /Johal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
