OFBiz Ant Control Task

[Lon F. Binder-2]

Has anyone written ant tasks that control (start/stop/restart, etc.)
ofbiz?

[David E Jones-2]

I don't know that ant is the best tool for this... but I suppose it could be done as pretty much any command line can be run with ant...

It would depend on your OS and deployment goals and such, but have you looked at the rc.ofbiz file that is in the ofbiz home directory?

Should be fairly trivial - just a matter of executing ofbiz.jar classes

I m trying to do the same thing .I used <java jar="(path to ofbiz.jar)">. Whenever I run the build.xml file it shows me the notorious ClassNotFoundException. Here's the output on my Konsole:
[java] Set OFBIZ_HOME to - /home/sjoshi/dev/in2m
     [java] Created OFBiz log dir [/home/sjoshi/dev/in2m/framework/logs]

Surprisingly there is no such class file  there. But when I run the startofbiz.sh script it starts ofbiz. What I found out after digging this script is that it too uses ofbiz.jar . Isnt that strange??
