weblogic rmic
Hi,
It seems that Antoine came across a similar issue :
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ant-dev/200408.mbox/%3C412BC1A6.7050107@gmx.de%3E
Anyone know how it was resolved?
(also I've done a full build with the weblogic*.jars in my lib/optional,
but I don't have an ant-weblogic stub)
Thanks,
Kev

We do not need a vote for this.
I think that you should just remove the test and document.

Well I've just tested with Ant 1.6.5 (from svn), and I get exactly the
same error:
[rmic] RemoteTimestampImpl must be a remote interface
implementation and should exist in the classpath
The classpath is fine (and the code works perfectly with compiler="sun")
This is the showstopper for an alpha release right now.
This email from 2001 (Ant 1.4) exhibits the exact same behaviour:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ant-user/200106.mbox/%3CFD5A602E96DCD211BC5100A0C9E57F3F047EE2C2@tfsmamsg8.tfn.com%3E
Namely, the weblogic rmic task requires a global CLASSPATH to be set. I
added a CLASSPATH var and all of a sudden the error disappeared. I'm
still not sure it works as I was expecting a WL_stub.class to appear in
the output directory, but the error went away.
Since this problem seems to have been around for 6+ years now, I vote
that we switch off these unit tests and move on.
[Vote] WebLogic Rmic tool sucks so:
[X] enough already, we need ant 1.7.1 released regardless of crappy 3rd
party tools that have never worked properly (update docs to point out
weblogic rmic glaring incompatibilities with ant, switch off the unit
test to get a clean build)

One thing is clear: weblogic rmic was broken on ant1.7.0. nobody noticed.

That means that somehow I have to get the build to create the

Perhaps, but it behaves as if the classpath is messed up, not as if the
weblogic tool is incorrect in some way

We need to ship ant-weblogic.jar for ant 1.7.1.
(Unless we vote to drop it from that release).
We will not ship it in ant 1.8.0.

I can only assume that the test tests the behavior of an old version
of weblogic rmic tool.

Well I don't think that's a problem anyway as test case clearly calls
the weblogic rmic tool and clearly executes before failing to find the
test class - I guess we don't ship an ant-weblogic.jar anymore

Nope, it also doesn't work on 1.4.2 (the oldest jdk I tracked down)

Does it work with JDK5?

Update [was Re: weblogic rmic]
Posted by Kev Jackson <fo...@gmail.com>.
Hi,
> You probally need an old version of weblogic*.jar
By this do you mean that an old version of weblogic*.jars will remove
the problem I'm having getting a clean set of tests? Or do you mean that
the older jars will create the ant-weblogic.jar?
The error doesn't seem to be caused by a missing ant-weblogic.jar, as it
appears that the classpath is incorrect somehow and the testWlrmic
cannot find the RemoteTimestampImpl class.
I've just test on Ubuntu Gutsy, JDK6 (update 3), and I get the same rmic
error. So this isn't a Windows only thing.
As I mentioned previously, it's the exact same error Antoine came across
in 2004, so it must have been solved somehow.
My guess is a configuration issue.
Thanks,
Kev

You probally need an old version of weblogic*.jar
