AXIS

[Philippe Pham <pp...@synergylinkinc.com>]

To whom it may concern,
 
I just download the AXIS package from Apache website.  I'm specially interested in the project that convert a WSDL file to JAVA files and vice versa.  This is really a great tool.  I like it very much.
 
There is one little thing that I'd like to ask you for help. That is, I try rebuild the project using the following command:
    java org.apache.tools.ant.Main <target>
    where target:
         - compile  -> creates the "axis.jar" package in "./build/lib"
        - javadocs -> creates the javadocs in "./build/javadocs"
        - dist     -> creates the complete binary distribution
        - srcdist  -> creates the complete src distribution
        - functional-tests -> attempts to build Ant task and then run client-server functional test
 
Unfortunately it fails to do it (on my system, WIN2K Advanced Server). The error message that shows at the DOS command prompt is:
        C:\xml-axis\java>java org.apache.tools.ant.Main compile
        Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tools/ant/Main
 
That means that I don't have the 'ant' utility on my system or I haven't configure my system correctly.
 
Then I download the 'ant' utility and try to build it again, it still fails.  Here is the error message:
    C:\xml-axis\java>ant compile
    Buildfile: build.xml
 
    setenv:
 
    BUILD FAILED
 
    C:\xml-axis\java\build.xml:170: Could not create task of type: condition. Common solutions are to use taskdef to declare your         task, or, if this is an optional task, to put the optional.jar in the lib directory of your ant installation (ANT_HOME).
 
    Total time: 0 seconds
 
 
So could you please show me how to set up the system to build the axis project?
 
Sincerely

you should download the latest ant 1.5 beta. Do it tomorrow and you will get
beta-3. As well as having the <condition> task, it has more helpful error
messages, in this case mentioning 'you are using an older version of ant' as
one of the possibilities

Hi,
 
perhaps you should try the solution the error message tells you ;-)
 
 
You can download the optional tasks file here:
 
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-ant/release/v1.4.1/bin/jakarta-
ant-1.4.1-optional.jar
 
 
put this file in your ANT_HOME\lib directory and see if it works...
 
Good luck,
 
Till
