- <h1>Ant-Contrib Server Tasks</h1>
-
- <p>The following tasks exist for running Ant server on one machine, and
- calling that server from another (or possibly the same) machine, to
- execute tasks.</p>
-
-
- <hr width="100%" />
-
- <h1>AntServer</h1>
-
- <p>
- Starts an ANT server in current process. This server will wait for
- client connections, and when received, it will execute the commands
- that the client has sent. NOTE: This is a blocking call, and this
- task will not return until someone sends the server a shutdown command.
- </p>
-
- <h2>Parameters</h2>
-
- <table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
- <tr>
- <th>Attribute</th>
- <th>Description</th>
- <th>Required</th>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td valign="top">port</td>
- <td valign="top">The port on which the server will listen.</td>
- <td align="center" valign="top">No. Defaults to 17000</td>
- </tr>
- </table>
-
- <h2>Example:</h2>
-
- <pre>
- <code>
- &lt;antserver port="12345" /&gt;
- </code>
- </pre>
-
-
- <h1>RemoteAnt</h1>
-
- <p>
- Sends command requests to a running instance of an AntServer which
- was started using the &lt;antserver&gt; task.
- These commands are executed in the space of the server, and therefore
- have no access to any variables or references in the currently executing
- project.
- </p>
-
- <h2>Parameters</h2>
-
- <table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
- <tr>
- <th>Attribute</th>

- <th>Required</th>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td valign="top">machine</td>

- <td align="center" valign="top">No. Defaults to "localhost"</td>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td valign="top">port</td>
- <td valign="top">The port on which the server is listening.</td>
- <td align="center" valign="top">No. Defaults to 17000</td>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td valign="top">persistant</td>
- <td valign="top">Should we execute all commands, regardless of whether
- or not one of them fails. If false, as soon as a failure is encountered,
- we will stop execution.</td>
- <td align="center" valign="top">No. Defaults to false</td>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td valign="top">failonerror</td>
- <td valign="top">If any of the sent commands encounters a build failure on
- the server, should we fail this task.</td>
- <td align="center" valign="top">No. Defaults to true.</td>
- </tr>

-
- <h2>Parameters Specified as Nested Elements</h2>
-
- <p>
- The commands to send are represented as nested elements as described
- below
- </p>
-
-
- <h3>runtarget</h3>
-
- <p>Runs a target which is contained in the same buildfile where the
- &lt;antserver&gt; task was called. This element may contain nested
- &lt;property&gt; elements for sending parameters to the target, and
- nested &lt;reference&gt; elements for sending references to the target.</p>
-
- <h4>Parameters</h4>
- <table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
- <tr>
- <th>Attribute</th>
- <th>Description</th>
- <th>Required</th>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td valign="top">target</td>
- <td valign="top">The name of the target to run.</td>
- <td align="center" valign="top">Yes.</td>
- </tr>
- </table>
-
- <h3>runant</h3>
-
- <p>Runs a target in an arbitrary buildfile on the machine where the
- &lt;antserver&gt; task was called. If a relative pathname is given,
- then the path of the buildfile is relative to the base directory of
- the project where the &lt;antserver&gt; task was called. This element
- may contain nested &lt;property&gt; elements for sending text parameters
- to the target, and nested &lt;reference&gt; elements for sending references
- to the target.</p>
-
- <h4>Parameters</h4>
- <table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
- <tr>
- <th>Attribute</th>
- <th>Description</th>
- <th>Required</th>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td valign="top">antfile</td>
- <td valign="top">The path of the ant file to run (if relative, then
- the filename is computed relative to the buildfile of the server
- task's base directory</td>
- <td align="center" valign="top">No. Defaults to "build.xml" in the
- directory where the buildfile is to execute (specified by the dir
- attribute)</td>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td valign="top">target</td>
- <td valign="top">The name of the target to run.</td>
- <td align="center" valign="top">No. Defaults to the default target of
- the specified antfile.</td>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td valign="top">dir</td>
- <td valign="top">the directory to use as a basedir for the new Ant project. Defaults to
- the server project's basedir, unless inheritall has been set to false, in which
- case it doesn't have a default value. This will override the basedir setting of
- the called project.</td>
- <td align="center" valign="top">No.</td>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td valign="top">inheritall</td>
- <td valign="top">Should the target task inherit all of
- the server's properties. This is equivalent to the flag of
- the same name on the &lt;ant&gt; task.</td>
- <td align="center" valign="top">No. Defaults to false</td>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td valign="top">inheritrefs</td>
- <td valign="top">Should the target task inherit all of
- the server's references. This is equivalent to the flag of
- the same name on the &lt;ant&gt; task.</td>
- <td align="center" valign="top">No. Defaults to false</td>
- </tr>
- </table>
-
-
- <h3>shutdown</h3>
-
- <p>Instructs the &lt;antserver&gt; task to shut itself down. Control
- will return to the ANT engine and will procede as necessary in the
- server's buildfile.</p>
-
-
- <h2>Example:</h2>
-
- <pre>
- <code>
- &lt;remoteant machine="localhost" port="12345"&gt;
- &lt;runtarget target="execute.build"&gt;
- &lt;property name="build.type" value="full" /&gt;
- &lt;/runtarget&gt;
- &lt;runant dir="tests" target="build.tests"&gt;
- &lt;property name="build.type" value="full" /&gt;
- &lt;reference refid="my.ref" torefid="inherited.ref" /&gt;
- &lt;/runtarget&gt;
- &lt;/remoteant&gt;
- </code>
- </pre>
-
-
- <p>
- would be the equivalent of running the following directly on
- the server machine, from within the same buildfile where the
- &lt;antserver&gt; task was run
- </p>
-
-
- <pre>
- <code>
- &lt;antcall target="execute.build"&gt;
- &lt;param name="build.type" value="full" /&gt;
- &lt;/antcall&gt;
- &lt;ant dir="tests"&gt;
- &lt;property name="build.type" value="full" /&gt;
- &lt;reference refid="my.ref" torefid="inherited.ref" /&gt;
- &lt;/antcall&gt;
- </code>
- </pre>
-
- <h3>sendfile</h3>
-
- <p>Sends a file from the client to the server</p>

- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td valign="top">tofile</td>
- <td valign="top">The directory where the file is to be stored
- on the server, if a relative path, then it is stored relative
- to the server project's base directory. The name of the file
- will be the same name as the source file</td>
- <td align="center" valign="top">No. If tofile is specified</td>
