Include antlib in antlib

[Jozef Neuschl]

Hi I have 3 files
1 project file
2 antlib files

in my project file I have

<project xmlns:testHandler="http://bla/testHandler" name="TestSuite1" default="runTests">

	<typedef file="libraries/testHandler.xml" uri="http://bla/testHandler" />

in my testhandler.xml

<antlib xmlns:tomcat="ant:http://bla/tomcat">

<typedef name="tomcat" file="${basedir}/libraries/tomcat.xml" uri="http://bla/tomcat" />
	<macrodef name="runTest">
		<attribute name="applicationPropFile" />
		<attribute name="testFile" />
		<sequential>
		<echo message="${basedir}/libraries/tomcat.xml"/>
			<echo
				message="Copying application properties file from : to : ${applicationPropFile}" />
			<echo message="Runnig tests specified in : ${testFile}" />
			<tomcat:deploy />
			<tomcat:start />
			<tomcat:stop />
		</sequential>
	</macrodef>
</antlib>

and tomcat.xml

<antlib>

	<macrodef name="start">
		<sequential>
			<echo message="Starting instance of tomcat" />
		</sequential>
	</macrodef>

	<macrodef name="stop">
		<sequential>
			<echo message="Stopping instance of tomcat" />
		</sequential>
	</macrodef>

	<macrodef name="deploy">
		<sequential>
			<echo message="Deploying file on tomcat" />
		</sequential>
	</macrodef>

</antlib>

The thing is that in testHandler class I can't user tomcat antlib I always have this error :

Cause: The name is undefined.
Action: Check the spelling.
Action: Check that any custom tasks/types have been declared.
Action: Check that any <presetdef>/<macrodef> declarations have taken place.
No types or tasks have been defined in this namespace yet

I can see the echo outputs problem starts with <tomcat:deploy ....

Any ideas ??

I can't tell what is going on from your post. What name is the error complaining of? Seeing the target which generated the error, and all of the output for that target would help. Also, have you tried running with the -v option? That might give more clues as to what is going on.
