Web Service with build.xml

[Adriano Ferreira]

Hi, Im trying to execute a Web Service with NetBeans 6.9.1 IDE, but happens the following error

Target "run-main" does not exist in the project "WebServiceIDM".

Someone??

You didn't give us much to go on, but here is my best guess:

Your default is probably set to "=run-main", but you have no "run-main" target defined in your build.xml.

This is probably incomplete because I just did a few quick cut 'n pastes to have an example for you, but....
Here is a sample build.xml where you can see my default and my target defined:

<?xml version="1.0"?> <project name="MyProject" default="run-main" basedir="."> <property environment="env" /> <property file="build.properties"/> <property name="project.name" value="${ant.project.name}" /> <property name="jdkHome" value="${jdk.home}" /> <!-- =================================================================== --> <!-- run-main Target --> <!-- =================================================================== --> <target name="run-main" depends="compile"> <java classname="com.sample.Client" fork="yes" dir="."> <arg value="${arg1}" /> <arg value="${arg2}" /> <classpath refid="classpath" /> </java> </target> <!-- =================================================================== --> <!-- Compile EJB source --> <!-- =================================================================== --> <target name="compile" depends="prepare"> <javac classpathref="classpath" executable="${jdkHome}/bin/javac" source="1.5" target="1.5" srcdir="${client.src.dir}" destdir="${client.classes.dir}" debug="on" deprecation="on" optimize="off" includes="**" fork="true"> </javac> </target> <!-- =================================================================== --> <!-- Prepares EJB build directory --> <!-- =================================================================== --> <target name="prepare" depends="clean"> <mkdir dir="${client.build.dir}" /> <mkdir dir="${client.classes.dir}" /> </target> <!-- =================================================================== --> <!-- Clean --> <!-- =================================================================== --> <target name="clean"> <delete dir="${client.build.dir}" /> </target> </project>

In this example, the main() will be in my "com.sample.Client" class.

I have to execute a Web Service with NetBeans 6.9.1 but now is happenning the following errors:
C:\Documents and Settings\abalbino\Meus documentos\NetBeansProjects\WebServiceIDM\build.xml:68: warning: 'includeantruntime' was not set, defaulting to build.sysclasspath=last; set to false for repeatable builds

someone please?

Can you get the "compile" to complete?
Try this at the command line:

ant compile

I have not worked with NetBeans in a long time, but there is a way to select a target using it, instead of just going with the default.
If you can't figure it out, then you can change the 1st line in your build.xml from:

<project name="WebServiceIDM" default="build" basedir=".">

to this:

<project name="WebServiceIDM" default="compile" basedir=".">

Also, this looks suspicious at line 113:

<taskdef resource="axis-tasks.properties" classpathref="webservice_sample.class.path" />

Actually, this looks like it could be your problem. The error looks like a classpath related message.
That value is probably being set in your build.properties file.
Take a look at build.properties and double check your values.

Hi Ferreira,

Can you check the Ant Runtime classpath entries in your NetBeans IDE.
We do the ANT Runtme classpath setup in Eclipse ISE at : Windows->Preferences->Ant->Runtime->Classpath
Here you can make sure 'Ant home entries ' are all installed jars from ant home and Global entries point to tools.jar from your Jdk install.

Please check for the similar properties setup in NetBeans( I have provided the Eclipse IDE)

Good luck !!

hi, I made the changes and configuration, but is happening the same error:

Running the web services sample: ${classname}
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: ${classname}

help me please

Show us your build.properties file.

[Adriano Ferreira]

This is it:

# Set IM.SERVER to your Identity  Manager server and IM.ENVIRONMENT to your Identity  Manager Environment alias

IM.SERVER=192.168.136.148:8080
IM.ENVIRONMENT=contax

# Set AXIS_HOME and JAVA_HOME to the locations of your Axis and Java runtime installations
# NOTE: On Windows, use forward slash (/) instead of backslash (\)

AXIS_HOME=C:/Documents and Settings/abalbino/Meus documentos/Axis/Axis
JAVA_HOME=C:/Arquivos de programas/Java/jdk1.6.0_21
#  Version of jars used in AXIS

commons_discovery.version=0.2
commons_logging.version=1.0.4
log4j.version=1.2.8
wsdl4j.version=1.5.1

# Java allocated memory for the task

memoryInitialSize=128m
memoryMaximumSize=512m

[Rick Roberts]

See these lines in your build.xml?

 <!-- Check that a classname is supplied as input -->  
      
   <target name="classname-check" unless="classname">  
        <echo message="A classname must be supplied.  Specify -Dclassname=<classname> where <classname> is a fully qualified classname"/>  
    </target>  
  
<!-- Run one of the compiled Java sample classes -->  
  
  
    <target name="run-main" depends="compile">  
        <echo message="Running the web services sample: ${classname}"/>  
        <java classname="${classname}" fork="true">  
  

Your error is saying that ${classname} has not been supplied.

Although, I'm not sure why your <echo> message didn't print its message.
Probably need a "depends=classname-check" somewhere, but I'm thinking that you can get past this error if you just:

Specify -Dclassname=<classname> where <classname> is a fully qualified classname

Which means that you just need to pass java an argument called "classname".
i.e java -Dclassname="myClassName"

Or tell NetBeans to do it.

thanks

I tried but I didn't reach. Someone knows NetBeans ?
