Newbie: Server publish not including extra RMIC stubs [message #224644] Wed, 03 December 2008 12:23 Go to next message

Hi All,

I am trying to deploy a JEE Dynamic Web App to a Tomcat 4.1 server using
server tools. Part of the web app uses RMI, so I have added an ant builder
to the project builders to run RMIC to generate the stubs. The order in
which the project builders run is

JavaScript Builder,
Java Builder
New_Builder (the ant build.xml I added to compile the stubs for 5 classes)
Faceted Project Validation Builder
Validation

When the project is built in eclipse, the correct .classes are generated,
including the RMI stubs. However, when I deploy the project to the server,
the web app is deployed correctly, apart from the RMI stubs which are not
deployed. If I copy the stubs manually into the appropriate directory
(under .metadata) the application works.

Does anyone know why are the stubs not being deployed. Do I need to add
the RMI compile task somewhere in the deploy process?

If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be most grateful,

Jonathan

Where exactly are the RMI stub classes created in the project? Creating
them in the same output folder as the Java source folder for the project
is a location I would expect to work. Also, does your RMI ant build
refresh appropriate folders in your workspace so those files become
visible to the workspace? They have to be visible to the workspace
before they would be included when the project is published to the
server. You can use the Navigator view to see what is visible for any
project folder.

Cheers,
Larry

Hi Larry, thanks for your response. My project folder is as follows (from
the project explorer) :

eurokom6
Deployment Descriptor
Java Resources : src
JavaScript Support
ant_rmi (this just contains build.xml for building the rmi stubs)
build (where the .class files are put, including the stubs)
web content
WEB-INF



My .java files are all in src. The corresponding .class files are in
/build, including the RMI stubs.


Also, does your RMI ant build

I cannot see the stubs in the /build folder using the navigator view so
this is the problem. What is the difference between the navigator view and
the project explorer? How do I get the RMI ant build to refresh
appropriate folders to make them visible to the workspace? Does this mean
deleting folders and re-creating them?



The build.xml is as follows :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="rmi_compile" default="rmic" basedir="..">


<!-- Standard Directory Identifiers-->
<property name="java.dest.dir" value="${basedir}\build\classes"/>


<!-- RMI Target -->
<target name="rmic" >
<rmic base="${java.dest.dir}"
classname="ie.eurokom.opentools.PmasListFilesRemote" stubversion="1.2" />
<rmic base="${java.dest.dir}"
classname="ie.eurokom.opentools.MailQueue" stubversion="1.2" />
<rmic base="${java.dest.dir}"
classname="ie.eurokom.opentools.MailFilter" stubversion="1.2" />
<rmic base="${java.dest.dir}"
classname="ie.eurokom.opentools.BlockListRemote" stubversion="1.2" />
<rmic base="${java.dest.dir}"
classname="ie.eurokom.opentools.QuarantineRemote" stubversion="1.2" />
</target>


</project>


Many thanks for your help,
Jonathan

Unlike other "navigator" views, such as the Project Explorer view, I
don't believe the Navigator view filters the tree in any way and doesn't
try to present any info in a special fashion, like the "Deployment
Descriptor" in the Project Explorer. You see just what the "workspace"
sees.

Since "build/classes" is an output folder, the Project Explorer view
will filter it from the tree. Since the "build" folder isn't an output
folder, it is visible in the tree, but you won't be able to see the
"classes" folder beneath it.

On the Builders page of the eurokom6 project's properties dialog, select
the New_Builder and click Edit. On the Main tab, feel free to improve
the name of the builder. :) On the Refresh tab, enable the "Refresh
resources upon completion" option. Under that, select the "Specify
resources" radio button and click Specify Resources. Select the
"eurokom6/build/classes" folder and click Finish and OK twice to exit
the properties dialog. Since this change doesn't trigger a rebuild,
force one using Project -> Clean. Now each time the builder runs, the
"build/classes" folder will be "refreshed", making the generated files
visible to the workspace. Note: you can always manually "refresh" a
folder by right-clicking the folder and selecting Refresh.

Cheers,
Larry

Thanks Larry - that worked great. Now all the stubs are published
automatically with the rest of the .classes.

Many thanks!
Jonathan
