Problem building sample (Tomcat 3.1, WinNT 4.0)

[Jim Bartram <jb...@quadrivium-labs.com>]

I've made a copy of jakarta-tomcat\doc\appdev\sample and have attempted to
build it. I made no changes to build.bat or build.xml. Can anyone explain
why I get this error?:

<<
Buildfile: build.xml
BUILD CONFIG ERROR: Can't open config file: build.xml due to:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Attribute names must not start with "<"
characters.
org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException: Can't open config file: build.xml due
to: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Attribute names must not start with "<"
characters.

Thanks Jim ... this will be fixed in Tomcat 3.2.1.

Bug in Windows Tomcat 3.2 Build.bat

Re: jakarta-tomcat-3.2\doc\appdev\sample\build.bat

I upgraded to Tomcat 3.2 and found that build.bat would still not work on
Windows NT. A little investigation revealed that the distribution copy of
build.bat has a fatal flaw:

(Part of build.bat:)
<snip>
rem Identify the custom class path components we need
set CP=%TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\ant.jar;%TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\servlet.jar
set CP=%TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\jaxp.jar;%TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\parser.jar
set CP=%CP%;%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar
<snip>

The third line of this example should be:

set CP=%CP%;%TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\jaxp.jar;%TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\parser.jar

otherwise the classpath is incorrect (missing ant.jar and servlet.jar).
When my fix is made the build is successful.

The Tomcat 3.1 version of the sample application build scripts has some syntax
errors in it.  You should use the version from Tomcat 3.2 (and you should be
using Tomcat 3.2 anyway; it has substantial numbers of bug fixes and performance
improvements over 3.1.).
