Ant Task for SBO Jar file creation?

Has anyone figured out a way to create an ant task to dynamically create jar files for your BOF modules?

This is an example of what I have:

<jar destfile="${jars}/DocumentSBOImpl.jar">          <fileset dir="bin" excludes="gov/nasa/msfc/repository/sbo/,gov/nasa/msfc/repository/sbo/impl/*.class,gov/nasa/msfc/repository/sbo/objects/*.class" />          <fileset dir="bin" includes="gov/nasa/msfc/repository/sbo/impl/DocumentSBOImpl.class,gov/nasa/msfc/repository/sbo/objects/DQLQueryObject.class" /></jar><jar destfile="${jars}/IDocumentSBO.jar">        <fileset dir="bin" excludes="gov/nasa/msfc/repository/sbo/*.class,gov/nasa/msfc/repository/sbo/impl/,gov/nasa/msfc/repository/sbo/objects/" />          <fileset dir="bin" includes="gov/nasa/msfc/repository/sbo/IDocumentSBO.class" /> </jar>

This works well but I have to keep it up-to-date. I'd like to not have to update this file for every new SBO that gets created. I've considered just creating one monlithic SBO jar file and using it in every module configuration but I don't even know if that would work though I do know it would be an ugly workaround even if it did.

It's not ugly, it's the only way. Otherwise (i.e. maintaining different jars for every module) you will get a jar ****, except that separate some jars on methods, simple modules, SBO, TBO, LyfeCycle would be a good idea.

In my view, i would suggest to keep separate JARs module-wise or some sort of logical grouping. That will help you deploy only the selected & changed ones instead of deploying the whole set.

Moreover, if you want to do hot deployment, having separate jars would be comfortable. You can just deploy the specific implementation jar on the fly and test only that piece, instead of testing the functionality of all the BO's.

And it is good to separate out the Implementation and Interface jars. When the implementation alone changes, you can deploy the impl., jar without restarting (hot deployment).

in build.properties

# BOF Module packagingbof.1.impl.jar.darfile=${dar.content.dir}/jar/AutoNumberGeneratorService.jarbof.1.interface.jar.darfile=${dar.content.dir}/jar/IAutoNumberGeneratorService.jarbof.1.package=com/bob/documentum/sbo/numbergenerator/

got up as far as 35!!! Had one BOF project

see attached for extract of build.xml

This layout assumed that all files for a module were in one package and all Interface files started with I

I guess I could have made it smarter but it was almost enough for that project.... almost.... one developer did add a macrodef to insert a font library for his pdf stuff

I think I have a fairly good solution but maybe someone out there can help me refine it.

Going from this SO answer:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3056395/how-can-i-iterate-over-properties-from-a-file

I came up with this:

1. create a properties file with your SBO interface/implementations, or at least a name based on how they will be packaged with your modules. The one I created is called bof.properties and looks like this:

Document=DocumentFolder=FolderObject=ObjectUser=UserAttribute=Attribute

2. Add ant-contrib to your project

3. Use something similar to the following target definition to jar your SBOs. Of course, changing packages and class names, etc.

<target name="jar" depends="compile">   <property file="bof.properties" prefix="interface." />   <propertyselector property="interfaces" match="interface\.(.*)" select="\1" />   <property file="bof.properties" />        <for list="${interfaces}"  trim="true" param="interface">           <sequential>                 <jar destfile="${dist}/I${interface}SBO.jar">                    <fileset dir="bin" excludes="gov/nasa/msfc/repository/sbo/*.class,gov/nasa/msfc/repository/sbo/impl/" />                    <fileset dir="bin" includes="gov/nasa/msfc/repository/sbo/I${interface}SBO.class" />                 </jar>            </sequential>       </for>   <property file="bof.properties" prefix="implementation" />  <propertyselector property="implementations" match="implementation\.(.*)" select="\1" />  <property file="bof.properties" />      <for list="${implementations}" trim="true" param="implementation">           <sequential>              <jar destfile="${dist}/${implementation}SBOImpl.jar">                    <fileset dir="bin" excludes="gov/nasa/msfc/repository/sbo/,gov/nasa/msfc/repository/sbo/impl/*.class,gov/nasa/msfc/repository/sbo/*.class" />                   <fileset dir="bin" includes="gov/nasa/msfc/repository/sbo/impl/${implementation}SBOImpl.class,gov/nasa/msfc/repository/sbo/DQLQueryObject.class" />             </jar>           </sequential>    </for>   </target

Unfortunately, it loops one too many times and I can't figure out why.

Thanks,

I think I have this more or less solved now. For the record, should it help someone else, I'm posting what I have here:

There is a properties file that contains the SBO names:

Document=Document

Folder=Folder

Object=Object

User=User

Attribute=Attribute

This works fine as is but I'll continue improving and refining it since there is still a lot of room for improvement.
