task <java ...fork= "true " >: from which directory is the java
command started

2004-01-19       - By Rudolf Nottrott

Hi,

I have an Ant <java...> task that runs a database program named
org.hsqldb.Server, see below.  The argument  to the Server is a database
name, "-database testxyz".  The database testxyz.* is supposed to be taken
from (or created in) the directory you were in when you issued the Java
command that started the database Server.   Now, I didn't start Java -- I
started Ant which started Java.

Here is the task:
<target name="hsqldb" description="Start the HSQLB sample database">
   <java classname="org.hsqldb.Server" fork="true"
failonerror="true"  maxmemory="128m" >
      <arg value="-database testxyz"/>
      <classpath><pathelement location="${lib.home}/hsqldb.jar"/></classpath>
    </java>
</target>

The server starts up ok, but I'm not getting the database I want, testxyz,
and so I'm trying to verify  the directory from which the Java command of
task <java ...> was issued.
Any ideas on how trace this?  Is there perhaps some task like "print
working directory" that I could run in conjunction with the <java ... > task?

Thanks,
Rudolf Nottrott
