Re: [Wrapper-user] Using ANT scripts to invoke wrapper

[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

You should be able to launch the Wrapper from Ant using the exec task.
When launching the Wrapper, specify all of the properties that you wish
to override on the Wrapper's command line.  The biggest problem is
going to be the classpath as the Wrapper expects it to be broken up
into its individual elements.  But if most cases, your jar files will 
all be in
a specific directory, so you can work around this using wild cards.

Try a command line like the following:

Wrapper -i src/conf/wrapper.conf wrapper.java.classpath.1=src/lib/*.jar 
etc...

Another option is to just include the entire classpath in a single classpath
property.  This should work.   The wrapper breaks them up so that it can
cleanly build the classpaths at runtime based on the current platform.

Other properties can be set in the same way.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Leif
