problem with Tomcat and Ant.....any one help
I use Spring MVC, and in my project , when I use "ant build" command to compile a java file(of course, the target is write in the build.xml which implement the compile task ), the build faied, The command window shows (PS: springapp is my project folder name under webapps):
Buildfile: build.xml
build:
[javac] Compiling 1 source file to C:\Program Files\Apache Software Fo
on\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\springapp\war\WEB-INF\classes
BUILD FAILED
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\springapp\b
ml:51: C:\Documents and Settings\Chen Xi\Tomcat 5.5\common\lib not found.
But my tomcat is installed in
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5
And the content of build.properties file is like follows:
# Ant properties for building the springapp
appserver.home=${user.home}/Tomcat 5.5
deploy.path=${appserver.home}/webapps
tomcat.manager.url=http://localhost:8080/manager
tomcat.manager.username=admin
tomcat.manager.password=tomcat
And I know the problem is in build.properties file and build.xml files, for example, in build.properties file, theappserver.home=${user.home}/tomcat 5.5 is wrong, and I correct theappserver.home= value to be my tomcat home directory which is:C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5 , the ant build command still failed to compile the java file, the command window shows now:
BUILD FAILED
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\springapp\build.xml:51: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\springapp\Program FilesApache Software FoundationTomcat 5.5\common\lib not found.
How to solve the problem, it seems that inside build.xml, the comipler task can not point to the write location of java file to compile.
by the way, what does the value contain in${user.home} in build.properties file?

1. You need to have a user.home variable set in your build.properties.2. Its advisable to have folder names without spaces between individual words especially in properties file.ram.
# 2
hi! Madathil_Prasad.
I define the user.home in build.properties file, look, it is now like:
# Ant properties for building the springapp
user.home=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation
appserver.home=${user.home}\Tomcat 5.5
deploy.path=${appserver.home}/webapps
tomcat.manager.url=http://localhost:8080/manager
tomcat.manager.username=admin
tomcat.manager.password=tomcat
But when I use "ant build" command to compile the java file, it still failed,
the message show on the command window is:
BUILD FAILED
.......\webapps\springapp\build.xml:51:\ C:\Documents and Settings\Chen Xi Tomcat 5.5\common\lib not found
you see the place I under lined, it can not find the ..\common\lib , that is because it goes to a wrong directory, my tomcat is located in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5
Not in C:\Documents and Settings\Chen Xi Tomcat 5.5,
why it is like this? where I configure wrong?
why it goes to C:\Document and Setting........Where I should correct this path..... please help. thanks!
by the way, The code in build.xml where I define the compiler target is like follows:
<target name="build" description="Compile main source tree java files">
<mkdir dir="${build.dir}"/>
<javac destdir="${build.dir}" target="1.3" debug="true"deprecation="false" optimize="false" failonerror="true"> <src path="${src.dir}"/>
<classpath refid="master-classpath"/>
</javac>
</target>
The place underlined is where the comand window warining about the error

user.home=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundationappserver.home=${user.home}\Tomcat 5.5Change the \'s to /'sMight want to try appserver.home=C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 5.5
# 4
Hi,
you said Change the \'s to /'s?but Where?
and I do try appserver.home=C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 5.5
it still does not work.
Again, because I think my "ant build" command go to the wrong pah to find ..tomcat 5.5\common\lib , as you see above, I pasete the command window message.
And in my build.xml, the code I define the compile target is like follows:
......
<fileset dir="${appserver.home}/common/lib">
<include name="servlet*.jar"/>
</fileset>
........
And I define the ${appserver.home}/ in the build.properties file like follows:
user.home=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation
appserver.home=${user.home}\Tomcat 5.5
And, my tomcat is located in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5
So, please help me, where is wrong that cause the "ant build" command go to c:\Document and Setting\Chen Xi\ tomcat 5.5\common\lib which is not exist, why it does not go to the correct path which is C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\common\lib
Please help. THanks.

There for instance ;-)
Please post the build.xml file to check if the problem is there
And please hurry up, i'm sleepy ;-)

The problem lies there. Please, change ${appserver.home} to the directory that contains the tomcat installation directly on that line:
<fileset dir="C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 5.5/common/lib">
<include name="servlet*.jar"/>
</fileset>
Run man! It's 3 am here ;-)
Edit 3: (I know it belongs below but...) run
ant -verbose build
That will show you a lot more of what ant is doing.
Edit: And don't use \ as path separator. Always use /
Ant already knows if you're on window$ or UN*X ;-)
Edit 2: If that DOES work, change the build.properties to
# Ant properties for building the springapp
user.home=C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation
appserver.home=${user.home}/Tomcat 5.5
deploy.path=${appserver.home}/webapps
tomcat.manager.url=http://localhost:8080/manager
tomcat.manager.username=admin
tomcat.manager.password=tomcat
