Question

I used to build and run automatically with NetBean IDE. It works fine with Spring. However, now I want to write my own Ant build file. It builds successfully, the only thing is the ClassPathXmlApplicationContext seems like it can’t find the class path at runtime. I am using Spring 3.0.5 with the following libraries, put in lib folder:

org.springframework.beans-3.0.5.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.beans-sources-3.0.5.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.context.support-sources-3.0.5.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.context-3.0.5.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.context-sources-3.0.5.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.core-3.0.5.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.core-sources-3.0.5.RELEASE.jar

The folder structure:

DevFortress

+—lib

+—src

    + config

    +.......

+—build

    +----classes

    +----jar

I want to get a context from my devFortress.xml:
ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(“DevFortress.xml”);
Originally, the DevFortress.xml is in config package in src package. However, I just want to make my program run, so I put it into lib folder, classes and jar as well, but it’s hopeless.

Here is my build file:

<project name="DevFortress" basedir="." default="main">
    <property name="src.dir" value="src"/>
    <property name="config.dir" value="${src.dir}/config"/>
    <property name="build.dir" value="build"/>
    <property name="classes.dir" value="${build.dir}/classes"/>
    <property name="jar.dir" value="${build.dir}/jar"/>

    <property name="main-class" value="Controller.Main"/>

    <property name="lib.dir" value="lib"/>

    <path id="classpath">
        <fileset dir="${lib.dir}" includes="**/*.jar"/>
        <fileset dir="${config.dir}" includes="**/*.xml"/>
    </path>
    <target name="clean">
        <delete dir="${build.dir}"/>
    </target>

<target name="compile">
    <mkdir dir="${classes.dir}"/>
    <javac srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${classes.dir}" classpathref="classpath"/>
</target>

<target name="jar" depends="compile">
    <mkdir dir="${jar.dir}"/>
    <jar destfile = "${jar.dir}/${ant.project.name}.jar" basedir="${classes.dir}">
        <manifest>
            <attribute name="Main-Class" value="${main-class}"/>
        </manifest>
    </jar>
</target>

<target name="run" depends = "jar">
    <java fork="true" classname="${main-class}">
            <classpath>
                <path refid="classpath"/>
                <path location="${jar.dir}/${ant.project.name}.jar"/>
            </classpath>
        </java>
</target>

<target name="clean-build" depends="clean,jar"/>

<target name="main" depends="clean,run"/>
</project>

What’s wrong with this?

Answer 1

have you tried just including the configuration files into the jar creation process
