I created a jar file with dependencies(i.e wlclient.jar, wljmxclient.jar) added to manifest file Class-Path attribute. I get error saying "Unsupported protocol: t3", But if I place these jars in C:\apache-ant-1.8.3\lib folder, this executes with no errors.
I am new to ant please help.
The ant task for creating a jar file is given below.
<jar destfile="projectpoc.jar" basedir="bin" excludes="**/Test.class">
<manifest>
<attribute name="Class-Path"
value=" lib/mysql-connector.jar lib/log4j-1.2.14.jar lib/ojdbc6.jar lib/wlclient.jar lib/wljmxclient.jar " />
</manifest>
</jar>
I'd recommend use the manifestclasspath ANT task. It will correctly resolve paths relative to the jar file.

I'm trying to build an executable jar file using ant managed by ivy but am stuck. Our original build-script assembles the jar file more or less okay. The dependencies are in the manifest.mf but not under Class-Path but rather Compile-Class-Path entry.
I can simply set the Main-Class entry in the menifest file but having an impossible foe in trying to get the ivy dependencies in the Class-Path. While this seems simple enough using gradle I can't find any solution for ivy dependencies.
Is there a way of getting the resolves ivy dependencies and put them in the manifest? These dependencies are just paths to a network location where the jar files are.
I'm giving a standard way to do this. If you can provide your actual build file, I can be more specific in the answer.
You can do this in the ant target for jar creation. For ex:
<!-- create a classpath variable with all the jars needed for runtime -->
<path id="cls.path">
<!-- declare all the paths that you need. For ex: all resolved jars in "runtime" conf -->
</path>
<!-- If your path has folder prefix, you'll have to do <pathconvert> -->
<jar jarfile="${jar_name}" basedir="${classes.dir}">
<manifest>
<attribute name="Class-Path" value="${cls.path}"/>
...
<!-- You can add standard jar properties and any custom property here -->
</manifest>
</jar>
I am looking forward for an example which unjars a file referenced from the classpath inside the ANT. I couldn't find any example in the web. When I tried using the path inside the unjar target, it unjars all the jar files inside the classpath. Can anyone suggest me something giving some example ?
You have to specify the jar name which you what to unjar.
Probably you have wildcard(*) in your src
This will unjar all jars in ${ant.home}/lib/
<unzip src="${ant.home}/lib/*.jar" dest="..."/>
I think you should use:
<unzip src="${ant.home}/lib/ant.jar" dest="..."/>
If you want to unjar some files from your jar look at this example:
<unzip src="${ant.home}/lib/ant.jar" dest="...">
<patternset>
<include name="**/ant_logo_large.gif"/>
<include name="**/LICENSE.txt"/>
</patternset>
</unzip>
Look at unzip task documentation
I have written an ANT script and finally am building the jar
here is the building of jar section
<jar jarfile="${destination}/#{name}.jar">
<fileset dir="${output}">
<include name="abc/xyz/#{name}/**"/>
</fileset>
<zipfileset dir="lib" prefix="lib/"/>
<manifest>
<attribute name="Main-Class" value="com.abc.xyz.HelloWorld"/>
<attribute name="Class-Path" value=".:lib/activation.jar:lib/antlr-2.7.6.jar:lib/asm-attrs.jar:lib/asm.jar:lib/cglib-2.1.3.jar:lib/commons-collections-2.1.1.jar:lib/commons-logging-1.1.jar:lib/dom4j-1.6.1.jar:lib/ehcache-1.2.3.jar:lib/ejb3-persistence.jar:lib/hibernate-annotations.jar:lib/hibernate-commons-annotations.jar:lib/hibernate-entitymanager.jar:lib/hibernate-tools.jar:lib/hibernate3.jar:lib/javassist.jar:lib/jdbc2_0-stdext.jar:lib/jta.jar:lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.5-bin.jar"/>
</manifest>
</jar>
Now when I try to execute the package it executes, but whenever data is sent I get an error.
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/persistence/NoResultException
But the persistence jar is there in the class-path, I've tried all the combinations for the class-path, but in vain.
But in another system I tried without create a jar like
set classpath=.;lib/activation.jar;lib/antlr-2.7.6.jar;lib/asm-attrs.jar;lib/asm.jar;lib/cglib-2.1.3.jar;lib/commons-collections-2.1.1.jar;lib/commons-logging-1.1.jar;lib/dom4j-1.6.1.jar;lib/ehcache-1.2.3.jar;lib/ejb3-persistence.jar;lib/hibernate-annotations.jar;lib/hibernate-commons-annotations.jar;lib/hibernate-entitymanager.jar;lib/hibernate-tools.jar;lib/hibernate3.jar;lib/javassist.jar;lib/jdbc2_0-stdext.jar;lib/jta.jar;lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.5-bin.jar
java com.abc.xyz.HelloWorld
This works fine.
In Mac when I try like this:
java -cp .:lib/activation.jar:lib/antlr-2.7.6.jar:lib/asm-attrs.jar:lib/asm.jar:lib/cglib-2.1.3.jar:lib/commons-collections-2.1.1.jar:lib/commons-logging-1.1.jar:lib/dom4j-1.6.1.jar:lib/ehcache-1.2.3.jar:lib/ejb3-persistence.jar:lib/hibernate-annotations.jar:lib/hibernate-commons-annotations.jar:lib/hibernate-entitymanager.jar:lib/hibernate-tools.jar:lib/hibernate3.jar:lib/javassist.jar:lib/jdbc2_0-stdext.jar:lib/jta.jar:lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.5-bin.jar com.abc.xyz.HelloWorld
Also it works fine :(, but the minute I create the jar it stops.
How can I resolve this issue?
First of all the "Main-Class" and "Class-Path" manifiest entries is only used for executeable jars. In other words when you invoke java as follows:
java -jar foo.jar
Invoking java using the -cp option means you're supplying your own classpath and note that you also have to provide the main class on the command line as well.
Secondly you need to replace the ":" characters with spaces:
<attribute name="Class-Path" value=". lib/activation.jar lib/antlr-2.7.6.jar lib/asm-attrs.jar lib/asm.jar lib/cglib-2.1.3.jar lib/commons-collections-2.1.1.jar lib/commons-logging-1.1.jar lib/dom4j-1.6.1.jar lib/ehcache-1.2.3.jar lib/ejb3-persistence.jar lib/hibernate-annotations.jar lib/hibernate-commons-annotations.jar lib/hibernate-entitymanager.jar lib/hibernate-tools.jar lib/hibernate3.jar lib/javassist.jar lib/jdbc2_0-stdext.jar lib/jta.jar lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.5-bin.jar"/>
Finally I'd recommend using the manifestclasspath task to build your classpath string for you. It will correcly resolve any relative links between your jar and it's run-time dependencies.
<manifestclasspath property="mf.classpath" jarfile="${destination}/#{name}.jar">
<classpath>
<fileset dir="lib" includes="*.jar"/>
<classpath>
</manifestclasspath>
<jar jarfile="${destination}/#{name}.jar">
<fileset dir="${output}">
<include name="abc/xyz/#{name}/**"/>
</fileset>
<zipfileset dir="lib" prefix="lib/"/>
<manifest>
<attribute name="Main-Class" value="com.abc.xyz.HelloWorld"/>
<attribute name="Class-Path" value=". ${mf.classpath}"/>
</manifest>
</jar>
One final observation.... Why are you including the contents of the lib directory inside the jar? (The zipfileset tag in the jar command?)
This appears unnecessary, all you need to do is ensure that the run-time dependencies are present in a lib directory as specified in your Class-Path manifest entry.
The reason for it not works was there not in the class path, the explanation is given here:

I am trying to create a war file out of an eclipse project using ant
The responsible ant target looks like this
<target name="jar" depends="build" description="Erzeugt das WAR File">
<war destfile="${project.dir.dist}/xyz.jar" webxml="${basedir}/WebRoot/WEB-INF/web.xml" duplicate="fail" basedir="${basedir}">
<lib dir="${project.dir.dist}" excludesfile="${project.dir.dist}/xyz.jar" />
<classes dir="${project.dir.bin}" />
<webinf dir="${basedir}/WebRoot/WEB-INF" excludes="*.class" />
<metainf dir="${basedir}/WebRoot/META-INF" />
</war>
</target>
And it fails with the following error:
F:\eclipse_workspaces\skyeye\railWeb\build.xml:35: Syntax error in property: ??? ???i8?
Google search turned up only this: http://209.85.135.132/search?q=cache:OrmNOY9EJd0J:teamcity.jetbrains.com/viewLog.html%3Bjsessionid%3D114D52086BAE423B2F69A99B4CFACACD%3FbuildId%3D29573%26tab%3DbuildChangesDiv%26buildTypeId%3Dbt134+ant+war+task+%22Syntax+error+in+property%22&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&client=firefox-a
Can anybody explain, what the heck is going on?
The propblem was that I used 'excludesFile' assuming it would exclude a single file. Instead ANT tried to parse it as an property file which gets difficult since it actually was a jar file.
The correct way to exclude a jar file is given in the documentation. If anyone face same issue, they can refer to this link.
This example is taken from the documentation, here we are removing jdbc1.jar from lib
Assume the following structure in the project's base directory:
thirdparty/libs/jdbc1.jar
thirdparty/libs/jdbc2.jar
build/main/com/myco/myapp/Servlet.class
src/metadata/myapp.xml
src/html/myapp/index.html
src/jsp/myapp/front.jsp
src/graphics/images/gifs/small/logo.gif
src/graphics/images/gifs/large/logo.gif
then the war file myapp.war created with
<war destfile="myapp.war" webxml="src/metadata/myapp.xml">
<fileset dir="src/html/myapp"/>
<fileset dir="src/jsp/myapp"/>
<lib dir="thirdparty/libs">
<exclude name="jdbc1.jar"/>
</lib>
<classes dir="build/main"/>
<zipfileset dir="src/graphics/images/gifs"
prefix="images"/>
</war>
will consist of
WEB-INF/web.xml
WEB-INF/lib/jdbc2.jar
WEB-INF/classes/com/myco/myapp/Servlet.class
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
index.html
front.jsp
images/small/logo.gif
images/large/logo.gif
I am a bit of an ant newbie, and I'm having trouble making a jar correctly. As an example, say I want to make a jar with my StringUtil class. Using the following ant directive, I can create the jar, but the problem is that the directory structure is lost. It simply puts StringUtil.class in the base directory of the jar. How can I correct this ant directive so that StringUtil.class is inside the com/test directory in the jar?
<jar destfile="myjar.jar" >
<fileset file="${build}/com/test/StringUtil.class"/>
</jar>
Thanks!
You need to tell Ant to build the jar from the base directory, then tell it to include only the desired file. Like so:
<jar destfile="myjar.jar" >
<fileset dir="${build}" includes="com/test/StringUtil.class"/>
</jar>
Here's the doc for <fileset> tags.
