| Ant support for daemon processes | Ant support for daemon processes 2007-06-06 - By Vladimir Egorov
Hi Ant Users,
I am interested in Ant support for daemon processes, such as servers.
For example, I would like to stop an Exec or Java process on demand -
this is not possible with existing Exec and Java tasks.
Ant manual for parallel task has the following example that "represents
a typical pattern for testing a server application":
<parallel>
<wlrun ... >
<sequential>
<sleep seconds="30"/>
<junit ... >
<wlstop/>
</sequential>
</parallel>
Above <wlstop> is a proprietary task that only works with WL. I am
looking for a generic 'kill' task that can kill a referenced process.
The above example may look like this.
<parallel>
<exec id='myserver'
executable='ServerUnderTest.exe'
...
<sequential>
<sleep seconds="30"/>
<junit ... >
<kill id='myserver'/>
</sequential>
</parallel>
Unlike the WL example, we are not using a proprietary stop mechanism.
The <kill> task is a generic task that calls Process.destroy(), and
works for both Exec and Java processes.
Is there anything in the Ant World on this?
Thank you,
--Vladimir
P.S. Another area is full support for 'spawn' attribute. Right now:
$ ant -version
Apache Ant version 1.6.5 compiled on June 2 2005
$ cat t.xml
<project>
<exec executable="ls" spawn="true" timeout="1000"/>
</project>
$ ant -f t.xml
Buildfile: t.xml
spawn does not allow attributes related to input, output, error,
result
spawn also does not allow timeout
finally, spawn is not compatible with a nested I/O <redirector>
BUILD FAILED
