Constructor Detail

### DDCreator

    public DDCreator()

Method Detail

### execute

    public void execute()
                 throws BuildException

  Do the work. The work is actually done by creating a helper task. This approach allows the classpath of the helper task to be set. Since the weblogic tools require the class files of the project's home and remote interfaces to be available in the classpath, this also avoids having to start ant with the class path of the project it is building.

  Overrides:
    `execute` in class `Task`
  Throws:
    `BuildException` - if something goes wrong with the build

### setDescriptors

    public void setDescriptors(java.lang.String dirName)

  Set the directory from where the text descriptions of the deployment descriptors are to be read.

  Parameters:
    `dirName` - the name of the directory containing the text deployment descriptor files.

### setDest

    public void setDest(java.lang.String dirName)

  Set the directory into which the serialized deployment descriptors are to be written.

  Parameters:
    `dirName` - the name of the directory into which the serialised deployment descriptors are written.

### setClasspath

    public void setClasspath(java.lang.String s)

  Set the classpath to be used for this compilation.

  Parameters:
    `s` - the classpath to use for the ddcreator tool.
