When I run "ant -f jboss-build.xml compile" command,I get the errors in the console:

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

What does your jboss-build.properties look like?

[yxy369]

Here is my build.properties:

# Set the path to the JBoss directory containing the JBoss application server
# (This is the one containing directories like "bin", "client" etc.)

jboss.home=F:/software/jboss-3.2.3

# Set the path to the JBoss server environment. For 3.2.x it is under JBoss Home
# in the server directory either "default" or "all"
#jboss.server=${jboss.home}

jboss.server=${jboss.home}/server/default

jboss.deploy.dir=${jboss.server}/deploy

# Set the path to the servlet archive
servlet.jar=${jboss.server}/lib/javax.servlet.jar
#servlet.jar=${jboss.home}/tomcat-4.1.x/common/lib/servlet.jar

I meet the same problem.
the servlert version ?
the correct servlert version ?
help!help!help!help!

I user the servlet-api.jar and jsp-api.jar of jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28, BUILD SUCCESSFUL!
but update jboss-build.xml








go ahead!!

I have the same problem.

My jboss-build.properties looks like this:

# Set the path to the JBoss directory containing the JBoss application server
# (This is the one containing directories like "bin", "client" etc.)

jboss.home= C:\jboss-4.0.1

jboss.server=${jboss.home}/server/default
jboss.deploy.dir=${jboss.server}/deploy


OpenEyes, could you be more specific - do you mean you changed this:










to point at your tomcat jars instead?

Hi,

This problem seems to be closely related to the one I mentioned in my previous post. I updated the build.properties as follows (last four lines only):

# Set the path to the servlet archive
#servlet.jar=${jboss.server}/lib/javax.servlet.jar
#servlet.jar=${jboss.home}/tomcat-4.1.x/common/lib/servlet.jar
servlet.jar=C:/Program\ Files/Apache\ Software\ Foundation/Tomcat 5.0/common/lib/servlet-api.jar

This solves the problem of missing servlet packages, but I still can not find the jsp packages.

OpenEyes, you have solved this problem successfully. Could you please share your wisdom with us? How do I modify build.properties or jboss-buil.xml to pointto the correct jar? (I assume that C:/Program\ Files/Apache\ Software\ Foundation/Tomcat 5.0/common/lib/jsp-api.jar is the one that I need).

Thanks,
Huub

I've solved it! (at least on my system.)

I had another servlet.jar hanging around on my machine.. in my classpath. Having removed it, everything compiles fine.

(I think jboss-build.xml is looking in ${jboss.server}/lib/ for javax.servlet.jar etc.. but presumably the other servlet.jar was getting picked up first.)

Hopefully you have the same situation Huub.

Hi,

Yes! I finally solved it too, but in another way. I used Tomcat5.0/common/lib/servlet.jar for my servlet packages. An analysis of the error output showed that only two packages were missing: javax.servlet.jsp and javax.servlet.jsp.tagext. These packages are not included in my servlet.jsp, but can be found in Tomcat5.0/common/lib/jsp-api.jar. To enable the build to access this file, I changed build.properties and jboss-build.xml, as follows:

in build.properties, I added the lines:
tomcat.home= ... path to your local Tomcat installation directory ...
jsp-api.jar=${tomcat.home}/lib/common/jsp-api.jar

in jboss-build.xml, I replaced the lines:

<!--
| The build classpath
-->
< path id="build.classpath">
< path refid="client.classpath"/>
< pathelement location="${servlet.jar}"/>
</ path>

by:

<!--
| The build classpath
-->
< path id="build.classpath">
< path refid="client.classpath"/>
< pathelement location="${servlet.jar}"/>
< pathelement location="${jsp-api.jar}"/>
</ path>

And now it compiles.

I assume that the contents servlet.jar in Tomcat 4.x.y is distributed over servlet-api.jar and jsp-api.jar in Tomcat 5.x.y, but I have not been able to test that assumption.

Thanks for all the help and support!
