Problem with SimpleAxisServer and fork()

["Nagendra-Prasad, Anitha" <an...@hp.com>]

I am trying to start SimpleAxisServer from within ant in a seperate JVM using fork().
The problem is after SimpleAxisServer is started in a seperate process(JVM). the control never comes back
to the prompt.
 
The following build.xml does the above.
--------------------------------------------------------
 
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE project [
        <!ENTITY properties SYSTEM "file:../../xmls/properties.xml">
        <!ENTITY paths  SYSTEM "file:../../xmls/path_refs.xml">
        <!ENTITY taskdefs SYSTEM "file:../../xmls/taskdefs.xml">
        <!ENTITY taskdefs_post_compile SYSTEM "file:../../xmls/taskdefs_post_compile.xml">
        <!ENTITY targets SYSTEM "file:../../xmls/targets.xml">
]>

<project default="run">

<property name="ServicePort" value="888" />
 
        &properties;

        &taskdefs_post_compile;
        &targets;

    <java classname="org.apache.axis.transport.http.SimpleAxisServer" fork="yes" dir="" failonerror="true" >
        <jvmarg value="-Daxis.wsdlgen.intfnamespace=http://localhost:${ServicePort}"/>
        <jvmarg value="-Daxis.wsdlgen.serv.loc.url=http://localhost:${ServicePort}"/>
        <arg line="-p ${SimpleAxisPort}" /><!-- arbitrary port -->
      <classpath refid="classpath" />
    </java>
</target>
 
<target name="stop-validation-test-http-server">
    <echo message="Stopping test http server."/>
    <java classname="org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient" fork="yes" failonerror="true" >
      <arg line="-p ${SimpleAxisPort}" />
      <arg line="quit"/>

<target name="run" >
    <antcall target="start-test-http-server" />
    <antcall target="stop-test-http-server" />
</target>
 
</project>

The output is as follows:
-----------------------------------
 
C:\axis-1_1\test\functional>ant run
Buildfile: build.xml
 
run:
 
start-test-http-server:
     [echo] Starting test http server.
     [java] - SimpleAxisServer starting up on port 888.
Terminate batch job (Y/N)? y
 
Any help in this matter is appreciated.
