using weblogic.appc in ant scripts

[smyle khanna]

hi ,

I'm using weblogic 9.0 and jdk 1.5.I'm not sure how to use weblogic.appc command.I included verbose command to check the actual error. below is the part of the ant script i'm trying to compile :

    
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
    <target name="4-appc" depends="3-jar_ejb"> <java classname="weblogic.appc" fork="true" jvm="D:\jdk1.5.0_06\bin\java"> <arg line="-verbose ${dist}/std_${destfile}"/> <classpath> <pathelement path="${cp}"/> </classpath> </java> </target>
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[/CODE
 

And this is the error it showed :

I'm not able to debug this.Please suggest how to proceed.

It all depends on what the value of that ${cp} property contains. It needs to include the jar file that includes the appc compiler and all the libraries it needs. Your example did not show how the cp property got set, but that's the place to start looking, seems to me. The rest looks ok, and it's clearly a classpath issue.
