Problem installing dar file

Hello,

I'm trying to install a dar file using headless composer. I don't have the installer so I'm doing it programatically. This is on Windows XP SP2

Here is my build.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="install" default="install">
<target name="install">
<emc.install
dar="C:/Composer/mydar.dar"
docbase="docbasename"
username="username"
password="password"
domain=""/>
</target>
</project>

Here is my install.bat file:

java -cp C:/Composer/ComposerHeadless/startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main -data C:/Composer/installworkspace -application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner -buildfile C:/Composer/build.xml

Every time I run "install.bat" I get this error:

BUILD FAILED

C:\Composer\build.xml:9: Problem: failed to create task or type emc.install

Cause: The name is undefined

I've looked at the log and there are a lot of unresolved class calls. Somehow it looks like whatever file contains "emc.install" is not being resolved.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Rick Slater

Use the headless composer is installed as part of Content Server, from D65 up (maybe earlier versions also). The dfc.properties of this install will be already correctly configured
The core of my launch command is

set CMD_P1=java -cp %ECLIPSE%\startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main -clean
set CMD_P2=-data %COMPOSER_WORKSPACE%
set CMD_P3=-application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner -buildfile %ANT_SCRIPT%

Google Headless Eclipse for more details

Thanks for the link.

I think I found one of the problems. First I had not saved the build file as UTF-8. After that I got a new error which was tracable to using the wrong JRE.

Now it runs without error but I don't see the new object/method/job in the docbase. I'll keep looking.

Is this a custom method/jar or existing one? Also, where are you looking to see the new objects?

I'm installing dmwebdav.dar. It's supposed to create a a type; "webdav_lock", a method; "davLockCleanup", and a job; "dm_davLockCleanupJob.

I installed webdav on the web server (weblogic) under the base domain. I did not create a separate weblogic domain for webdav. The app name is dmwebdav as per the manual.

Thanks for your help.

Please post the DAR installation log file.

Hi,

I discovered an error in my PATH environment variable. The install appeared to run correctly and I got a "BUILD SUCCESSFUL" message.

Looking in the Administrator on the repository I see the type and the job have been created but not the method. At least I couldn't find the method.

I've attached the log file.

Thanks

Thanks for your help. Everything worked after all. I found the "missing" method.
