Ant jarfile simple question

[Garrett Smith]

Hi all,

I have a novice ant question.

In webabbs/webapp/WEB-INF/classes, I have build.xml. It was working fine for compiling, but making a war is not working.

Did I put build.xml in the wrong dir?

Or is there something missing here?

<jar jarfile="/development/tomcat/webapps/webapp.jar"  
   basedir="/development/tomcat/webapps/webapp/" 
  excludes="**/*.java"  
   />

build.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
  
<project name="login" default="build" basedir=".">
 
 <property environment="env"/>
 
    <target name="build">
 
        <javac 
        srcdir="."
debug="true"
optimize="false"
includes="**/*.java">

</javac>
 
  
 
   <jar jarfile="/development/tomcat/webapps/webapp.jar"  
   basedir="/development/tomcat/webapps/webapp/" 
  excludes="**/*.java"  
   /> 
 
</target>
</project>

If you are trying to build a war file, why not use the war task as opposed to the jar task?

[Garrett Smith]

If I just replace the jarfile tag with a warfile tag, the result will have the same problem.

Done.
