Re: specifying VM args on an ant
Arthur,
Good call. I have a proposal which offers a better solution than trying to
add vm args to the ant-test build.xml <taskdef>:
The existing resolver system properties can be set programatically using
java.lang.System.setProperty().
This has the same external effect as creating a resolver setFeature()
method and has the advantage in general
of allowing either programmatic setting *or* setting via vm arguments (for
situations where runtime
control is preferable).
In the case of the W3C tests, we need to set the catalog location (property
org.apache.woden.resolver.simpleresolver.catalog)
and the single base URI (property
org.apache.woden.resolver.simpleresolver.baseURIs). Both of these are in
set locations (relative to woden's root directory ${woden.dir} in the
build.xml).
The solution requires two additional setter methods in ValidateWSDL20,
which allows calls to that class from the build.xml
to specify two additional parameters "catalog" and "baseURI" (both as
filesystem locations and converted to URLs).
ValidateWSDL20 will then set the corresponding system properties to the
specified locations (as URLs), courtesy of the ant framework
and the additional setter methods.
An example build.xml call within an ant target is then:
<validatewsdl20 dir="${test-suite.dir}/documents/good" includes="**/*.wsdl"
cm="yes" cmdir="results" report="documents-good-report.xml"
catalog="${woden.dir}/test/org/apache/woden/resolver/resources/W3Ctests.catalog"
baseURI="${test-suite.dir}"/>
I've successfully tested the approach in an M7 sandbox and keenly await
your/all-devs comments.
We're in a code freeze situation for the M7 branch so I'd also need consent
to commit the solution there.
Kind Regards,
Graham Turrell
