Classpath error when calling ant from cruisecontrol
Using CruiseControl to build a web service I have the following in the build script to get the version of the build so that a directory can be built (named that version number) and the EAR file stored there. This is so we can quickly get a archived builds (rather than extract from VSS by label and rebuild).
The question is how to get at a class within the WAR (that is already in the EAR)? I am getting classpath errors with the following:
<!-- The following works fine and creates the GetVersion.class file, which is stored in the war file -->
<mkdir dir="src/appl/version"/>
<exec dir="src/appl/version" executable="cmd" output="src/appl/version/G
<arg line="/c echo package appl.version; import appl.common.util.Utils; public class GetVersion { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println(Utils.V
</exec>
<ant antfile="build.xml" target="build_all"/>
<!-- The following fails due to a classpath error -->
<java classname="appl.version.Ge
<!-- Any reference to dcp.version just adds ${dcp.version} rather than the hoped for version number -->
<vsslabel serverpath="S:/AppData/CH/
<mkdir dir="S:/AppData/CH/AppDev/
<copy file="DebitCardPaymentServ
<copy file="DebitCardPaymentServ

Tried that. When being compiled the GetVersion.class file is created in the following directory: C:\lws_cruise\checkout\dcp
<task location="C:\lws_cruise\bu
<message priority="error">
<![CDATA[ Could not find GetVersion. Make sure you have it in your classpath
at org.apache.tools.ant.taskd
etc
I've tried various connotations with no luck.
As a matter of interest where/how should I set the classpath? Either in the build file i.e.
<java classname="GetVersion" outputproperty="dcp_versio
<classpath>
<fileset dir="C:/lws_cruise/checkou
<include name="GetVersion.class"/>
</fileset>
</classpath>
</java>
or somewhere else?

Figured it out.
I changed the cruisecontrol build script to the following:
<java classname="GetVersion" outputproperty="dcp_versio
<classpath path="C:/lws_cruise/checko
</java>
rather than usuing the <fileset> tag above

it can't access the class from the war file.
you'll need to have a copy in some directory and specify that directory using the classpath parameter of the java task
