| <tstamp > task error | <tstamp > task error 2004-01-12 - By Conelly, Luis (PS, GNF, Contractor)
Hi all,
This must be such a simple error, but it seems I can't find the way to fix it.
I am trying to set the format for <tstamp> task. I just copied from the manual
the next snippet of code:
<target name="initFormatted" description="Initializes Time / Date feature
Formatted">
<tstamp>
<format property="time.formatted" pattern="MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm aa" unit=
"hour"/>
</tstamp>
</target>
I need prior target executed to update just the classes recently compiled,
from my workdir to my tomcat home, as showed in the snippet below:
<target name="updateCompiled" description="update *.class files to $
{jBanking.classes.tomcat.home}" >
<copy todir="${jBanking.classes.tomcat.home}">
<fileset dir="${build}" includes="**/*.class">
<date datetime="${tbf}" when="after"/>
</fileset>
</copy>
</target>
I call this target by using <antcall> call from other target, as showed
below:
<target name="updateAll">
<!-- other stuff here-->
<antcall target="updateCompiled">
<param name="tbf" value="${time.formatted}"/>
</antcall>
<!-- other stuff here-->
</target>
When I try to execute this code, I got following error:
---------
BUILD FAILED
C:\Projects\xxx xxx\jBanking\build.xml:71: Date of ${time.formatted} Cannot be
parsed correctly. It should be in MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM AM_PM format.
---------
I assumed something was not OK with the format. I changed the format as the
error message shows, then the 'initFormatted' target was like:
<target name="initFormatted" description="Initializes Time / Date feature
Formatted">
<tstamp>
<format property="time.formatted" pattern="MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM AM_PM" unit=
"hour"/>
</tstamp>
</target>
But other error came up:
------------
BUILD FAILED
C:\Projects\xxx xxx\jBanking\build.xml:38: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:
Illegal pattern character 'Y'
------------
Then, I took a look at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/util
/logging/SimpleFormatter.html to check the params used for java.text
.SimpleDateFormat class. I found that the params I was using in the first sample
of 'initFormatted' were not wrong, but not in the order showed up, neither in
the Ant manual, nor in the first error message.
Finally, I tried:
<target name="initFormatted" description="Initializes Time / Date feature
Formatted">
<tstamp>
<format property="time.formatted" pattern="MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm a" unit="hour
"/>
</tstamp>
</target>
But I got the same error, as shown below:
---------
BUILD FAILED
C:\Projects\xxx xxx\jBanking\build.xml:71: Date of ${time.formatted} Cannot be
parsed correctly. It should be in MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM AM_PM format.
---------
I used -debug to look what's happening and I got zillions of lines with lots
of info, regarding on how the java files were compiled and the properties used
/ overriden in the <javac> task.
With -verbose was pretty much the same thing.
Those are my settings,
-----------------
Apache Ant version 1.6beta2 compiled on October 16 2003
Buildfile: build.xml
Detected Java version: 1.4 in: C:\DevTools\Java\DevEnv\JBuilder9\jdk1.4\jre
Detected OS: Windows 2000
-----------------
Any clue / info / direction will be greatly appreciated. Hope the solution don
't involves any upgrade of ant version.
Thanks for your help and support
-Regards
PS. Sorry for the long mail.
