Deploy Session Bean using ejbjar task

[Pratik Lohia]

HI
I am trying to deploy session beans usinn an ant script
I am using WSAD 5.1 and Ant 1.6.2. The JDK is 1.31.e the one supplied with Websphere.
An exerpt of my script is as follows:




<path id="ejbdeploy.classpath">
<pathelement location="D:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere Studio\Application Developer\v5.1\runtimes\base_v5\lib\deployutils.jar"/>
<pathelement location="D:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere Studio\Application Developer\v5.1\runtimes\base_v5\lib\wsanttasks.jar"/>

<pathelement location="D:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere Studio\Application Developer\v5.1\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime_2.1.1\runtime.jar"/>

</path>



<target name="init">
<ejbjar
srcdir="${srcDir}\strideEJB\ejbModule"
destdir="${srcDir}\strideEJB"
descriptordir="strideEJB\ejbModule\META-INF"


>
<websphere dbvendor="DB2UDBWIN_V71"
ejbdeploy="true"

destdir="${srcDir}\strideEJB">



<classpath>
<path refid="ejbdeploy.classpath"/>
</classpath>
</websphere>


<dtd publicid="-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Enterprise JavaBeans 2.0//EN"
location= "D:\stride\vfcstride\strideEJB\ejbModule\META-INF\ejb-jar_2_0.dtd" />

<include name="**/*ejb-jar.xml"/>
<include name="**/*ibm-ejb-jar-bnd.xml"/>
</ejbjar>
</target>




On Execution of the script i get the following error:



Buildfile: build.xml

init:
[ejbjar] building ejb.jar with 41 files

[ejbdeploy] Class "com.ibm.etools.ejbdeploy.plugin.EJBDeployPlugin" must not be on the classpath

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

I am just not able to figure out the reason for this as i have set the classpath for ejbdeploy.jar which has the EJBDeployPlugin.class file.
When this did not work, i copied the jar file to the lib directory...and of course... neither did that help.

If you are running your ANT script from WASD, you can do like this. Right click your build.xml and then external tools. In classpath tab, add ejbdeploy.jar and run it.
If you are running from command prompt, add your ejbdeploy jar to class path and run it.

Some reason it's not finding through pathelement.

Thanks.
