help regarding ANT.

Hi all,

 

I'm new to Apache and ANT (and even java tools).  I'm purely into "C".  So,
sorry if this looks silly and trivial.

 

I have a build.xml file and when I run: 

 

$ ant -f build.xml generate.html, I get an error:

 

/build.xml:202: taskdef class org.apache.catalina.ant.DeployTask cannot be
found

 

Can anyone let me know why this error is occurring?  Did some googling and
still clueless.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Ravi.

What task is being called on line 222 of your build.xml file?

What this is saying is that a class needed for a particular task
cannot be found. It could be a missing *.jar file.

I believe you'll find that you're trying to implement the "deploy"
task of Tomcat. Since you're getting the classfile reference, this
means that the task definition is intact, but it cannot locate the
needed *.class file that is connected to the definition.

It appears that this needed task is related tomcat. Do you have the
catalina-ant.jar in your CLASSPATH, or inside the lib folder inside
your ANT_HOME directory?

If not, you can get that by downloading the "tomcat-deployer" from the
tomcat website <http://tomcat.apache.org>.

The other problem is that you're using the wrong version of tomcat.
Check the "Which Version" link
<http://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html>, and make sure you're
installing the correct version you need.
