Compile Servlets with Apache ANT

[Lukas]

hy..

I have a problem with Apache Ant. I write a Servlet and now i want to compile it but I always get a cannot find symbol Class.java!
If i compile a normal Java Project everything goes right but not with the Servlet!? Does anybody knows if i have to do something else between compiling a Servlet or JAva Project? (build.xml?):confused:

thx

Can you show us the code around where you're getting that error?

This is the code of my build.xml:

<project name="MyTask" basedir="." default="Main">

	<property name="src" location="src" />
	<property name="build" location="build" />
	<property name="dist" location="dist" />
	<property name="docs" location="docs" />
	<property name="tomcat.home" location="C:\xampp\tomcat" />

	<target name="clean">
		<delete dir="${build}" />
		<delete dir="${docs}" />
		<delete dir="${dist}" />
	</target>
	
	<target name="makedir">
		<mkdir dir="${build}" />
		<mkdir dir="${docs}" />
		<mkdir dir="${dist}" />
	</target>
	
	<target name="compile" depends="clean, makedir">
		<classpath>
		        <fileset dir="${tomcat.home}\lib" includes="*.jar" />
		</classpath>
		<javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}" />
	</target>

	<target name="jar" depends="compile">
		<jar destfile="${dist}\test.jar" basedir="${build}">
			<manifest>
				<attribute name="Main-Class" value="main.Main" />
			</manifest>
		</jar>
	</target>
	
	<target name="Main" depends="compile, jar">
		<description>Main target</description>
	</target>
</project>

The problem with the cannot find symbol is already solved! I forgot to set the classpath to my tomcat\lib!
But after I did this I get another error now he tells me that:

Problem: failed to create task or type classpath
Cause: The name is undefined.
Action: Check the spelling.
Action: Check that any custom tasks/types have been declared.
Action: Check that any <presetdef>/<macrodef> declarations have taken place.

Does this mean he can not resolve <classpath>? Because when I type it he doesn't give me any suggestions for classpath....:confused:
