Here's another peculiarity I found with the
JWSC Ant Task - even though the documentation specifies that the
srcdir attribute is mandatory, it is not enforced which leads to falsely reported failures during the
'Processing x JAX-WS web services...' stage.
This one had me stumbled for a while. JWSC was reporting compilation failures, but the final build status was a success. In addition when I examined the produced
WAR file, it contained the very classes and packages that JWSC was claiming were missing.
My JWSC task was being used like this...
Since I was using
module and
jwsfileset and specifying
srcdir attribute on the
jwsfileset, I didn't think to set the same attribute on the
jwsc task itself.
This resulted in output like this (sanitised for readability):
Once I set the
srcdir attribute on the
jwsc task, all of these processing errors went away. It seems a little redundant to have to specify the source directory in multiple places to me, but I guess there is little choice if you want clean build system output.
