Borland EJB Tasks

## BorlandDeployTool

by Benoit Moussaud (benoit.moussaud@criltelecom.com)

### Description

The BorlandDeployTool is a vendor specific nested element for the Ejbjar optional task.

BorlandDeploymentTool is dedicated to the Borland Application Server 4.5.x and Borland Enterprise Server 5.x. It generates and compiles the stubs and skeletons for all ejb described into the Deployment Descriptor, builds the jar file including the support files and verify whether the produced jar is valid or not.

Benoit Moussaud maintains a separate FAQ for this task at his homepage.

### Borland element

Attribute | Description | Required
destdir | The base directory into which the generated borland ready jar files are deposited | yes
debug | If true, turn on the debug mode for each borland tools (java2iiop, iastool ...) default = false | no
verify | If true, turn on the verification at the end of the jar production (default = false) | no
verifyargs | extra parameter for verify command | no
suffix | String value appended to the basename of the deployment descriptor to create the filename of the Borland EJB jar file. | No, defaults to '-ejb.jar'.
basdtd | Deprecated. Defines the location of the DTD which covers the Borland specific deployment descriptors. This should not be necessary if you have borland in your classpath. If you do not, you should use a nested `<dtd>` element, described in the ejbjar task documentation. | no
ejbdtd | Deprecated. Defines the location of the ejb-jar DTD in the class hierarchy. This should not be necessary if you have borland in your classpath. If you do not, you should use a nested `<dtd>` element, described in the ejbjar task documentation. | no
generateclient | If true, turn on the generation of the corresponding ejbjar (default = false) | no

version

set the Borland Application Version.

- 4 means B.A.S (Borland Application Server) 4.x, target will add ejb-inprise.xml file
- 5 means B.E.S (Borland Application Server) 5.x, target will add ejb-borland.xml file

No, defaults to 4

java2iiopParams | If filled, the params are added to the java2iiop command (ex: -no_warn_missing_define) | no

### Examples

The following build.xml snippet is an example of how to use Borland element into the ejbjar task

        <ejbjar srcdir="${build.classes}" basejarname="vsmp" descriptordir="${rsc.dir}/hrmanager">
            <borland destdir="lib" verify="on" generateclient="on" version="5">
              <classpath refid="classpath"/>
            </borland>
            <include name="**\ejb-jar.xml"/>
            <support dir="${build.classes}">
              <include name="demo\*.class"/>
              <include name="demo\helper\*.class"/>
             </support>
         </ejbjar>

    The borland element will generate into the lib dir an ejb jar file using the deployment descriptor placed into the ${rsc.dir}/hrmanager directory.
    The verify phase is turned on and the generate client phase as well.
