ANT - subant task with directory ordering

[hanasaki <ha...@hanaden.com>]

The Ant docs say;
"
Note that the directories will be added to the build path in no 
particular order, so if order is significant, one should use a file list 
instead!
"

Could this be changed to be deterministic and based on the natural 
ordering of the String class?

Why am I asking / suggesting this?  I have several directories that need 
to be evaluated in order and wish to use the unix style:
	0100_name1
	0200_name2
that has proven very useful.  For a specific example of this, checkout 
the Debian linux package for its Exim mail MTA.

How to compile web applications using JSPC with ant?

[Baz <ba...@goodconsultants.com>]

All,

I am trying to compile web applications using JSPC in ant. After reading the
article:

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/jasper-howto.html

Copying the script, I have the following errors. What have i done wrong or
missing?

Thanks.

Barry

jspc:
No public execute() in class org.apache.jasper.JspC

Not easily.

One way a user can do that without any modification to Ant, is by
providing a subclass of <path> that takes a nested <fileset> (Path
already does that) and orders the contents of it.

After that, use <typedef> to make your Path subclass known, say

<typedef classname="org.example.Path" name="mypath"/>

and then use your subclass in <subant>

<subant ...>
  <path ant-type="mypath">
    <fileset .../>
  </path>
</subant>
