Re: build.xml file for struts 2

You can generate an Ant build file from any project that uses Maven.

  $ mvn ant:ant

Thanks for the file, but I would really need to see a working example,

because all of these files and directories here and there are too confusing. I wish someone could point me to a helloworld tutorial that actually has a

working version.

Thanks

Here is the basic layout for a build.xml for the struts appilcations I
develop:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="PROJECT NAME" default="PICK_A_TARGET" basedir="./">

        <description>FULL PROJECT NAME</description>
        
        <!-- ********************** -->
        <!-- Application Properties -->
        <!-- ********************** -->
        <property name="SOME.PROPERTY.NAME" value="COMMONLYUSED"/>
        ......

        <!-- ************************ --> 
        <!-- Jar Directory Properties -->
        <!-- ************************ --> 
        <property name="log4j.version" value="1.2.9" />
        <property name="log4j.dir"
                location="${lib.dir}/log4j-${log4j.version}" />

        <!-- ************** -->
        <!-- Set Classpaths -->
        <!-- ************** -->
        <path id="sourcepath.compile">
                <pathelement location="${src.dir}" />
        </path>

        <!-- ********* -->                
        <!-- Clean All -->
        <!-- ********* -->        
        <target name="clean">
                <delete dir="${out.dir}" />
        </target>

        <!-- ******* -->
        <!-- Compile -->
        <!-- ******* -->
        <target name="compile" depends="init">
        <javac destdir="${out.dir}\app\WEB-INF\classes"
                        sourcepathref="sourcepath.compile"
classpathref="classpath.compile"
                        deprecation="${compile.deprecation}"
debug="${compile.debug}"
                        listfiles="${compile.listfiles}">
                        <src refid="sourcepath.compile" />
                </javac>
        </target>

        <!--
**************************************************************** -->
        <!-- COPY OVER ALL OTHER FILES/LIBS INTO THE PROPER WEB-INF
STRUCTURE -->
        <!--
**************************************************************** -->
        <!-- Copy JSP Pages Over -->
                <copy todir="${out.dir}\app\WEB-INF\pages">
                        <fileset dir="${jspPages.dir}"
                                excludes="**/*.keep">
                        </fileset>
                </copy>
        etc...


        <!-- ********** -->
        <!-- Distribute -->
        <!-- ********** -->
        <target name="dist" >
                <jar jarfile="${warfile.name}.war"
basedir="${out.dir}\app" />
        </target>

</project>

Something along those lines should suffice google and the ant page
should suffice
To fill in all the blanks, but to review basically set all the
properties (dirs,
Files, libs, etc.) then move them to the appropriate folders for the
WEB-INF,
Then compile and make a war file and distribute accordingly.

Subject: build.xml file for struts 2

Hello,

Could someone point me to a working build.xml file that I could use for

a
simple struts 2 application (helloworld)?  I tried the tutorial from
roseindia, and that build file doesn't result in a working web app,
though
ant says that the build was successful.  I don't see all of the
lib/*.jar

files included in the classpath, and it puts the compiled class files in

WEB-INF/src/classes instead of WEB-INF/classes; there must be other
issues
too that I haven't figured out.  Could someone point me to a simple
working
build.xml for struts 2 applications, or a good tutorial that I could
use?



Thanks,
