Ant build does nothing after a particular line in some users

[Sandeep Nair, modifié il y a 15 années.]

Hi,

I am using liferay 5.1.2. In some of the machines while running 'deploy' target of extension environment ant stops processing after a particular line.

build-webxml:
     [java] Loading jar:file:/C:/ABOS/liferay-portal-ext-5.1.2/modules/portal-im
pl.jar!/system.properties
     [java] Loading file:/C:/ABOS/liferay-portal-ext-5.1.2/ext-impl/classes/syst

feray-portal-ext-5.1.2/lib/portal/util-java.jar!/[/b]

After the line marked in bold nothing happens. I have seen its not memory issue. Any ideas?

It sounds like there's a non-daemon thread that's not terminating properly, so when the WebXMLBuilder reaches the end of its main() method, it doesn't exit properly.

As a temporary workaround, inside of ext-impl, create "com.liferay.portal.tools.WebXMLBuilder". Take the code from the corresponding file in portal-impl, and add "System.exit(0);" as the last line to the main() method. After you generate and deploy ext-impl.jar, running "ant deploy" from the base directory of your EXT environment should terminate successfully.

You may also run into problems with ThumbnailBuilder and WSDDMerger. If that happens, simply repeat the above process with those classes.

Thanks Minhchau,

But is there no other cleaner way.

I have to change the code thats messy.

Anyone has any other idea on this?

Hi there,

thanks for the workaround it helped for the WSDDMerger.
I had the problem when upgrading an ext environment from 5.2.5 to 5.2.9

This thread is some days old, is there already a better way to fly?
(I'm running win 7 if this matters somehow)

Thanks

I have to correct slightly
It worked for the ext-root-folder deploy target. Not for my build-service target in the ext-impl.

Is there a similar work-around for this?

thanks and happy friday

I haven't seen the issue in any recent releases of Liferay, but if you are still seeing problems, the workaround should apply to other tools as well. Wherever you see it hang, check the Ant target to see what class is being used to run that task.

For example, if it's hanging on the build-service target, you will need to add System.exit(0) to the com.liferay.portal.tools.servicebuilder.ServiceBuilder class.

That said, modifying service builder is tricky, because classes are usually not compiling when you run service builder, but your patched service builder needs to be on the classpath. As a workaround, create a second EXT environment with all the tool changes you'll need, generate ext-impl.jar, and copy it to "custom-tools-ext-impl.jar" in the ext-lib/portal folder.
