I’m using ME’s xdoclet generation functionality to generate my session ejb home and remote interfaces and ejb-jar.xml and jboss.xml.

Within the IDE, by right clicking the project and selecting to run the MyEclipse->Run XDoclet menu item, it appears that all my files are being properly generated.

However, when I take the ant build file that MyEclipse generates(by requesting that MyEclipse generate a xdoclet-build.xml file, within the Build Pane of the Project’s XDoclet configuration) and run it outside the IDE it fails to work correctly-it no longer updates the remote or home interfaces, and the ejb-jar.xml and jboss.xml file are generated incorrectly(ejb-jar.xml appears to be a template of the real thing, without any declarations of the beans I’ve created–all stateless session beans and ditto for the jboss.xml).

In summary, given that MyEclipse seems to be generating this stuff fine(thus my xdoclet markup in the java files must be fine), why is this failing? Am I using a version of ant that’s too old?

The ant I’m using on the command line is version 1.6.2 and the xdoclet version is from the xdoclet included with my version of ME, com.genuitec.jboss.ide.eclipse.xdoclet.core_4.0.0.

I’ll post a follow up with the exact error message.

What directory relative to your sources and eclipse project are you running the ant tool? This looks like some sort of path problem where it isn’t being run in the identical context as the MyEclipse built-in xdoclet.

[mwkohout]

I’m running it relative the top directory of the project-here’s my project layout:

ejb-project
src dir
src/META-INF dir
build.xml

Which begs the question: what context is MyEclipse running it’s xdoclet from? And, if that’s the case why does the generated build script fail?

thanks
Mike

sorry-my formatting of text didn’t make it to the last post(knew I should have previewed)
ejb-project is the root of the project, src is a child folder of ejb-project, META-INF is a child of src, and build.xml is a child of ejb-project.

[mwkohout]

the basedir provided by ant(via ${basedir} ) on the command line and from within Eclipse is the same:
[echo] project basedir: D:\3.1 Workspaces\JSVRefactor\ejb-adminconsole

[Greg]

The context the MyEclipse xdoclet-build.xml script is run from the top of your MyEclipse EJB project. It looks like from the XDoclet error that when you build it externally it can’t find the EJB source. Can you post the contents of your xdoclet-build.xml file?
