Weblogic Ant JWSC task to generate a webservice war file

Question

I am running a jwsc ant task to generate a war file. It is working fine for me if I add the weblogic.jar to classpath before running the ant script (CLASSPATH=/opt/bea/weblogic91/server/lib/weblogic.jar export CLASSPATH)

But is is not working if I add this in my build.xml as follows:

<target name="GenerateWarFiles">   
<path id="lib.jwsc.id">  
<pathelement path="/opt/bea/weblogic91/server/lib/weblogic.jar"/>  
</path>  
<taskdef name="jwsc" classname="weblogic.wsee.tools.anttasks.JwscTask" classpathref="lib.jwsc.id"/>  
<jwsc srcdir="${src.java.dir}" destdir="${build.war.file.dir}" verbose="on" debug="on" classpathref="lib.jwsc.id">  
<jws file="sep/com/bt/prf/jws/TypeImpl.java" compiledWsdl="${ivy.lib.dir}/WSDLC/Jwslib-8.0.jar" />  
</jwsc>   
</target>

I am getting the following error.

[AntUtil.deleteDir] Deleting directory /var/tmp/_927vxb

I'm betting that in your deployment target (Which isn't posted here) is trying to 'clean' up the deployment directory, and is failing when it can't find the file called /var/tmp/_927vxb/web.xml

3 suggestions:

1. Run touch /var/tmp/_927vxb/web.xml from the command line and try to run the build/deployment again. This will create an empty file that will at least let you get past the file not found on delete error. This is not a long term solution, but rather an attempt to expose the real issue.

2. Look at line 231 in your /wls_domains/CIT/cruisecontrol-bin-2.8.3/util/Ivy/build.xml file. Perhaps there is a delete ant task that is failing on error. If this is the case, add `failonerror="false" to the ant task that is causing the issue.

3. Post more of your build file here. Being able to align the line numbers in the file with the error will help in decoding the issue.
