I am experimenting with Gradle to build a few jars, rather than maintain a list of classes that hold EJBs so that I can deploy them separately I thought it might be neat to scan the classes when making the jar.
Rather than load the classes and use reflection to get the annotations I thought it may be simpler to scan the classes with asm, hence the chuncky ClassReader in one of the tasks.
I don't think this is the issue so can be ignored, basically I have 2 tasks that I use to define the contents of the jars, both report that different content is going into them via the eachFile print out, however when I look in the publish repository location both files and associated sha1 are identical.
Either Gradle is broken or, more likely, I've done something crazy but can't see what it is, can anyone help?
By the way if I disable the publish of either of the jar files the one that does get created is correct so I think it's something wrong with the publish rather than the jarring up, but could be wrong.
// ASM is used to interpret the class files, this avoids having to load all classes in the vm and use reflection
import org.objectweb.asm.*
task ejbJar(type: Jar) {
//outputs.upToDateWhen { false }
from "${project.buildDir}/classes/main"
eachFile { println "EJB server: ${name}" }
include getEjbClassFiles(project.buildDir)
}
task clientEjbJar(type: Jar) {
//outputs.upToDateWhen { false }
from "${project.buildDir}/classes/main/com/company/core/versioner"
eachFile { println "Client EJB ${name}" }
include '**/*'
}
artifacts {
archives clientEjbJar
archives ejbJar
}
String[] getEjbClassFiles(base) {
def includedFiles = []
def baseDir = project.file("${base}/classes/main")
def parentPath = baseDir.toPath()
if (baseDir.isDirectory()) {
baseDir.eachFileRecurse(groovy.io.FileType.FILES) { file ->
if(file.name.endsWith('.class')) {
//get hold of annotations in there --- org.objectweb.asm.Opcodes.ASM4
def reader = new ClassReader(file.bytes).accept(
new ClassVisitor(Opcodes.ASM4) {
public AnnotationVisitor visitAnnotation(String desc, boolean visible) {
if(desc.equals("Ljavax/ejb/Stateless;") ||
desc.equals("Ljavax/ejb/Stateful;")) {
includedFiles += parentPath.relativize(file.toPath())
}
return null //no interest in actually visiting the annotation values
}
},
ClassReader.SKIP_DEBUG | ClassReader.EXPAND_FRAMES | ClassReader.SKIP_FRAMES | ClassReader.SKIP_CODE
)
}
}
}
return includedFiles
}
publishing {
publications {
mypub(IvyPublication) {
artifact(ejbJar) {
name 'ejb'
}
artifact(clientEjbJar) {
name 'client-ejb'
}
}
}
repositories {
ivy {
name 'personal'
url "${ant['developer.repository']}/"
layout 'pattern', {
artifact "[organisation]/[module]/[artifact]/[revision]/[type]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]"
ivy "[organisation]/[module]/[type]/[revision]/[type]/[type]-[revision].[ext]"
}
}
}
}
I did break the thing down into a simpler form as I thought it may be a Gradle bug.
The simplified form was:
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'ivy-publish'
task bigJar(type: Jar) {
from "${rootDir}/src/main/resources"
include '**/*'
}
task smallJar(type: Jar) {
from "${rootDir}/src/main/resources/A/B"
include '**/*'
}
group 'ICantBeEmpty'
artifacts {
archives bigJar
archives smallJar
}
publishing {
publications {
mypub(IvyPublication) {
artifact(bigJar) { name 'biggie' }
artifact(smallJar) { name 'smallie' }
}
repositories {
ivy {
name 'personal'
url "c:/temp/gradletest"
layout 'pattern', {
artifact "[organisation]/[module]/[artifact]/[revision]/[type]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]"
ivy "[organisation]/[module]/[type]/[revision]/[type]/[type]-[revision].[ext]"
}
}
}
}
}
This results in 2 files in c:/temp/gradletest/ICantBeEmpty/report-bug/biggie/unspecified/biggie-unspecified.jar and c:/temp/gradletest/ICantBeEmpty/report-bug/smallie/unspecified/smallie-unspecified.jar Both of these files are identical, however I think I know why see my later answer.
