PI46797: CANNOT COMPILE JAVA ADAPTERS USING ANT TASK: ADAPTERBUILDERTASK

IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation Interim Fix README for 7.1
IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation Interim Fix README for 7.0

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The adapter-builder Ant task
  (com.worklight.ant.builders.AdapterBuilderTask) failed to
  compile Java adapters that reference codes defined on the server
  side (WAR file).  The Java adapters do not compile because the
  server Java code is not part of the classpath. This works well
  when build these Java adapters in MobileFirst Studio.
  

Local fix

• To work around, add the bin/classes to the classpath as shown
  below:
  
   // Add classpath to compile adapters
      ant.path(id: 'adapters.classpath') {
         ant.pathelement(path:
  "$mfpJarsDir/worklight-jee-library.jar")
         ant.pathelement(path: "$mfpProjectFolder/bin/classes")
     }
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * Users that use MFP ant tasks to build Java adapters          *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * If the path to serve/lib, adapter/lib and bin/classes is not *
  * added to the classpathref in the build.xml, the adapter will *
  * not compile                                                  *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * -                                                            *
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• It is no longer required to add the path to serve/lib,
  adapter/lib and bin/classes in the classpathref.
