Setting classpath for Taskdef
Has anyone managed to set the classpath attribute for TaskDef?
Eg I wanted to get the MimeMail task to work without having to put j2ee.jar
into %ANT_HOME%\lib
or specify it on the command line when invoking Ant. The doco for Taskdef
(and some posts on
this list) seemed to suggest that the following was correct usage.
<taskdef name="mimeMail"
classname="org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.net.MimeMail"
<classpath>
<pathelement location="${project}/lib/j2ee/j2ee.jar"/>
</classpath>
</taskdef>
where ${project}/lib/j2ee/j2ee.jar is where the j2ee.jar resides.
But I just get "Could not create task of type: mimeMail due to
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/mail/Address"
Any suggestions?

And that's the problem.
You load the task implementation from the system classpath - and the
system classloader doesn't know about j2ee.jar. This is Java's model
of delegating classloaders (Ant will always consult the system
classloader first).
The only fix: (1) remove the task implementation from the system
classpath (remove optional.jar from ANT_HOME/lib or remove the classes
in question from that jar) and (2) add the task implementation to your
nested classpath element of the taskdef.

Re: Setting classpath for Taskdef
Posted by Jill Stephenson <ji...@suncorpmetway.com.au>.
1) I have a mimimal batch script ...
setlocal
rem NULL out the classpath, we set this internally
set CLASSPATH=
rem Java Development Kit
set JAVA_HOME=c:\java\jdk1.3.1_01
set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
rem ANT
set ANT_HOME=c:\java\jakarta-ant-1.4
set PATH=%PATH%;%ANT_HOME%\bin
cmd /c ant atest
endlocal
2) I moved the optional jar out of ants lib directory
3) I have the following target in my build script
<target name="atest">
<taskdef name="mimeMail"
classname="org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.net.MimeMail">
<classpath>
<pathelement location="c:/bea/wlserver6.0/lib/weblogic.jar" />
<pathelement location="c:/java/jakarta-ant-1.4-optional.jar" />
</classpath>
</taskdef>
<mimeMail message="hello world"
tolist="blah"
subject="hello"
from="blah" />
</target>
While this obviously does not succeed in sending mail the mimeMail task is
actually invoked as you can see in the output below ...
Buildfile: build.xml
atest:
[mimeMail] sending email
BUILD FAILED
J:\js\working\xxx\build.xml:613: javax.mail.SendFailedException: Sending

nested exception is:
javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host:

Always do - no ehlp there.
How are you invoking Ant?
Are you using Ant.bat or invoking org.apache.tools.ant.Main directly?
Do you have optional.jar and j2ee.jar in %ANT_HOME%\lib or have you
specified them on the Ant command line.

Re: Setting classpath for Taskdef
Posted by Jill Stephenson <ji...@suncorpmetway.com.au>.
I got it to work with Ant 1.4 with JDK 1.3.1 on Win2k.
Is ${project} defined and pointing to the right place?
Is ${project}/tools/ant/lib/optional.jar" the correct location
for where you moved the jar to?
Try running your build with -verbose and -debug to see if
you can get any more information from that.

Try changing the name of the taskdef to be all lowercase, it

RE: Setting classpath for Taskdef
Posted by William Ferguson <wi...@versata.com>.
OK.
If I remove optional.jar from %ANT_HOME%\lib but define it in the MimeMail
taskdef along with J2ee.jar,
then Ant can't find the MimeMail task.
ie
<taskdef name="mimeMail"
classname="org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.net.MimeMail">
<classpath>
<pathelement location="${project}/lib/j2ee/j2ee.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${project}/tools/ant/lib/optional.jar"/>
</classpath>
</taskdef>
Gives
D:\source\main\buildScripts\NightlyBuild.xml:44: taskdef class
org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.net.MimeMail cannot be found
at
org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Definer.addDefinition(Definer.java:176)
at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Definer.execute(Definer.java:114)
etc
But if I define the taskdef for MimeMail as above and don't remove
optional.jar from %ANT_HOME%\lib then I get
D:\source\main\buildScripts\NightlyBuild.xml:172: Could not create task of
type: mimeMail due to java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/mail/Address
at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.createTask(Project.java:509)
at
org.apache.tools.ant.UnknownElement.makeTask(UnknownElement.java:148)
at
org.apache.tools.ant.UnknownElement.maybeConfigure(UnknownElement.java:83)
at org.apache.tools.ant.Task.perform(Task.java:216)
So it wuld seem that Ant definitely requires the optional.jar in its
classpath when executed, and can't pick it up from the taskdef classpath
attribute.
It also seems that Ant requires that any libraries that are needed by an
optional task to also be included in Ant's classpath.
Ie these classes can't be specified via the classpath attribute of taskdef.
So either I'm doing something totally wrong, or the classpath attribute
doesn't appear to function.

That is because the task in optional.jar is in a different classloader from
the j2ee jar.

It is all you get unless you pull optional.jar from ant\lib and include it
in the classpath you spec for MimeMail.

But that is what I thought was being done by specifying it in the classpath
attribute of TaskDef.
Is this not so?
If not, what does the classpath attribute actually do?

As per the optional task doco for MimeMail "JavaMail and
Java Activation Framework are required for this task." So
if you don't want to put j2ee.jar in your classpath you must
at least download the apis and put them in your classpath.

Thanks Eric,
optional.jar is already in %ANT_HOME%\lib and it finds it OK.
It's just not finding j2ee.jar
If I explicitly add j2ee.jar to the classpath when I invoke Ant then
everything works OK.
But that is not an optimal solution.

Re: Setting classpath for Taskdef
Posted by Erik Hatcher <ja...@ehatchersolutions.com>.
At the very least you'll also need Ant's optional.jar in that nested
classpath, as that is where
org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.net.MimeMail lives.
I'm not sure that will complete fix it as I haven't tried it myself, but
that should get it a bit closer.
