Beandoc crashing (on its samples!)

[aaime]

Hi,
I'm trying to run Beandoc on the samples included in the 0.6.2 distribution and I'm getting the following error:

C:\temp\spring-beandoc-0.6.2\samples>runbeandoc-cli.bat beandoc.properties
Sottodirectory o file ..\target\beandoc giÃ* esistente.

I'm using jdk 1.5.0_05. Anybody has ideas?

I'll take a look at it for you. The RegEx is invalid, as noted in the output you posted. Try changing it beandoc.properties for now and see what happens.

[davison]

hmm. It works for me even with the typo in the RegEx (using runbeandoc-cli.sh on Linux though).

Can you enable debug logging and post the output?

I've fixed and committed the RegEx typo, although that's not the issue you're seeing.

I've tried (set DEBUG level on both root logger and beandoc logger in the log4j.properties file) but the output does not changes... it seems no log statements besides the last INFO are executed...

[davison]

you don't have an earlier version of beandoc installed anywhere do you?

[aaime]

Nope, and I don't see where I can download one (http://opensource2.atlassian.com/con...play/BDOC/Home only links 0.6.2)

[davison]

that's ok. Earlier versions had similar error messages that should have been fixed.

What happens if you run the runbeandoc-ant.bat program?

Also, try editing beandoc.properties and changing the input.files entry to use the petclinic files rather than petstore.

Afraid I don't have any windows machines to test this on at present - I'll see if I can get a colleague to try it this afternoon though..

Regards,

I've tried also with petclinic and with my own mapping files, the error is still (exactly) the same...
I'm re-downloading everything again, let's see if the problem is a file curruption.

[aaime]

I've loaded the sources into Eclipse and running the DefaultContextProcessorText I get exactly the same error as above.

I've also tried to run it on jdk 1.5.0_03 but got the same error.
Running on jdk 1.4 does not work, since apparently spring has been compiled with 1.5 without preserving the compatibility with 1.4

I'm investigating.

[aaime]

Ok, found the problem. At line 174 of BeanDocUtils you do a Split using the file separator, that happens to be "\\" under Windows (that's why it works on Linux).

Replacing split(File.separator) with split(File.separator.replace("\\", "\\\\"))
does the trick.

It seems that beandoc users and Windows users have been two separate sets so far ;-)
