Web Services on Drugs

Just realized as I am working on some sample code with JDeveloper 10.1.3 and the WSA ant targets that there is a warning that can be missleading to new users. Here is what you see in the 'Apache Ant - Log' window: Buildfile: C:\dev\howto\xml-client\build.xml genproxy: Failed to find wsa.jar. BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 11 seconds In my environment, with the build.properties file generated by JDeveloper, the issue was that the environment variable used a relative path. #Wed May 31 23:39:13 PDT 2006 javac.debug=on oracle.home=../../../opt/jdev/ ... WSA is looking for oracle.home or oc4j.home to locate oc4j.home/webservices/lib/wsa.jar Using an absolute path is all it takes to get ride of the extra warning. #Wed May 31 23:39:13 PDT 2006 javac.debug=on oracle.home=/opt/jdev/ ... For more details, see 'Setting Up Ant for WebServicesAssembler' No big deal, just noise.
