Heiko, could you please follow up on this? cheers -thomas -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Leonardo Penczek <lpenczek(a)gmail.com&gt; To: thomas.diesler(a)jboss.com Subject: Big problem with WebXMLRewriterImpl.java rename Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2007 12:11:25 -0200 In WindowsNT systems, your modification in these lines doesn't work: FileInputStream stream = new FileInputStream(webXML); String modifyProperty = (String)dep.getProperty("org.jboss.ws.webapp.modify"); // JBWS 1762 if ((modifyProperty == null) || (!modifyProperty.equals("false"))) { String suffix = (String)dep.getProperty("org.jboss.ws.webapp.descriptor.suffix"); if (suffix == null) suffix = ".org"; File orgWebXML = new File(webXML.getCanonicalPath() + suffix); // Rename the web.xml if (webXML.renameTo(orgWebXML) == false) throw new WebServiceException("Cannot rename web.xml: " + orgWebXML); stream = new FileInputStream(orgWebXML); } As you open a FileInputStream over webXML, it can't be renamed to orgWebXML because the stream is open in this point, and Windows blocks te rename operation. It can be solved as below: // WindowsNT correction FileInputStream stream = null; String modifyProperty = (String)dep.getProperty("org.jboss.ws.webapp.modify"); // JBWS 1762 if ((modifyProperty == null) || (!modifyProperty.equals("false"))) { String suffix = (String)dep.getProperty("org.jboss.ws.webapp.descriptor.suffix"); if (suffix == null) suffix = ".org"; File orgWebXML = new File(webXML.getCanonicalPath() + suffix); // Rename the web.xml if (webXML.renameTo(orgWebXML) == false) throw new WebServiceException("Cannot rename web.xml: " + orgWebXML); stream = new FileInputStream(orgWebXML); } else { stream = new FileInputStream(webXML); } Cheers, Leonardo Penczek -- xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Thomas Diesler Web Service Lead JBoss, a division of Red Hat xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
