#48 IllegalAccessError while running ctl task

[Rijesh]

The following task is run: <ctl
connect="localhost:47658"><command
name="coverage.dump"
args="${report.folder}/coverage.ec" /></ctl>

Then an error as shown below is coming:
java.lang.IllegalAccess
Error: tried to access method
com.vladium.emma.ctl.ctlCommand.tokenize(Ljava/lan
g/String;Ljava/lang/String;Z)[Ljava/lang/String; from class
com.vladium.emma.ctl
.ctlTask$commandElement

The emma version is 2.1.5320
Java version is 1.4.1_01
Ant version is 1.6.2

Same problem experienced running an application under
Weblogic 8.1 SP 2 with bundled BEA JDK 1.4.1_05.

I also encountered this problem using Weblogic 8.1 SP5
(Linux) application with bundled JDK 1.4.2_05.

How else to get the coverage data from a live server???

I couldn't reproduce this in jrockit 1.4.2_08, but I believe
I have a good idea what caused this. The fix will be in the
next stable build.

I'm getting the identical error, and this is using emma version 2.1.5320, the IBM JDK 1.4.2 and the running code that I'm trying to get coverage is in WAS 6.0. I get this with the coverage.get command.

Is there any way around this? I do notice that if I completely leave off the "args=..." attribute of the task, then it writes to coverage.ec in the default directory and doesn't produce the error. Every other combination of things I've tried produces the error.

I found a workaround already; if I stop trying to use the <emma> Ant task and instead use the <java> task to execute emma commands, everything is then fine. Its a bit of a shame not to be able to use the <emma> task, but its a minor problem that I can easily live with.
