.. topic:: Introduction
`Apache Ant`_ is a Java-based build tool. Ant build files are created
using XML but it also support Python scripts using Jython_.
This howto was tested with Jython 2.5.0 standalone, PyAMF 0.5,
Ant 1.7 and Java JDK 1.6.0_13 on Mac OSX 10.5.7.

About JSR-223
=============
There are 2 ways to execute Python scripts in Ant:
- using JSR-223_
- utilising_ the ``PythonInterpreter``
JSR-223 enables dynamic languages to be callable via Java in a seamless
manner, which is supported in Jython 2.2.1 and newer. This howto will
show you how to make use of the ``PythonInterpreter`` class directly.
This style of embedding code is very similar to making use of a
scripting engine, and it has the advantage of working with Jython 2.5
and newer. The JSR-223 requires the unreleased Jython 2.5.1 or newer.
In order to make use of the ``PythonInterpreter`` technique, you only
need to have the standalone ``jython.jar`` in your classpath, there
is no need to have an extra engine involved.
Application Setup
=================
Start out with checking whether Apache Ant is working:
.. code-block:: bash
ant -version
Returns the version number::
Apache Ant version 1.7.0 compiled on May 21 2009
Make a project folder::
mkdir jython-ant
cd jython-ant
Grab a copy of PyAMF and it's documentation from Git:
.. code-block:: bash
git clone git://github.com/hydralabs/pyamf.git
cp -R pyamf/doc/tutorials/examples/jython/ant/embedded/* .
Copy ``jython.jar`` from your Jython 2.5 distribution folder
into the project's ``jython`` folder. Make sure you installed
Jython 2.5 in standalone mode which produces a ``jython.jar``
file that contains all necessary files for your application
to run without any other Jython dependencies:
.. code-block:: bash
mkdir jython
cp /path/to/jython2.5.x/jython.jar jython/
This ``jython`` folder is on the classpath of your application
so any other ``.jar`` files you may have go in here as well.
Now copy the PyAMF source and put it in the ``jython/Lib``
folder:
.. code-block:: bash
mkdir jython/Lib
cp -R pyamf/pyamf jython/Lib/
Run Application
===============
Run Ant from the project's base folder:
.. code-block:: bash
ant
This will do the following for you:
- clean the ``build`` folder
- compile the ``src/java/org/pyamf/HelloWorld.java`` class
containing the ``PythonInterpreter``
- create a file called ``HelloWorld.jar`` in
``build/classes/org/pyamf`` containing the compiled Java
``.class`` file
- run the ``HelloWorld.jar`` application
- try to load the ``src/python/server.py`` script that contains the
PyAMF remoting gateway for WSGI
It should print the build progress and application output::
Buildfile: build.xml
clean:
compile:
[mkdir] Created dir: /path/to/jython-ant/build/classes
[javac] Compiling 1 source file to /path/to/jython-ant/build/classes
jar:
[mkdir] Created dir: /path/to/jython-ant/build/jar
[jar] Building jar: /path/to/jython-ant/build/jar/HelloWorld.jar
run:
[java] *sys-package-mgr*: processing new jar, '/path/to/jython-ant/jython/jython.jar'
[java] *sys-package-mgr*: processing new jar, '/path/to/jython-ant/build/jar/HelloWorld.jar'
...
[java] Running AMF gateway on http://localhost:8000
The first time you run Ant it also includes some caching messages from Jython
that start with ``*sys-package-mgr*: processing new jar``.
The default folder where these cache files are stored is ``jython/cachedir``.
The final line shows your AMF gateway is up and running.
Clients
=======
Python
------
Run ``client.py`` in ``src/python/`` which should print:
.. code-block:: bash
2009-07-20 00:00:32,669 INFO [root] Connecting to http://localhost:8000
2009-07-20 00:00:32,783 INFO [root] Hello world!
And the server running in Ant should show some debug information::
[java] 2009-07-19 23:48:59,756 DEBUG [root] remoting.decode start
[java] 2009-07-19 23:49:00,190 DEBUG [root] Remoting target: u'echo.echo'
[java] 2009-07-19 23:49:00,223 DEBUG [root] remoting.decode end
[java] 2009-07-19 23:49:00,232 INFO [root] AMF Request: <Envelope amfVersion=0 clientType=0>
[java] (u'/1', <Request target=u'echo.echo'>[u'Hello world!']</Request>)
[java] </Envelope>
[java] 2009-07-19 23:49:00,323 INFO [root] AMF Response: <Envelope amfVersion=0 clientType=0>
[java] (u'/1', <Response status=/onResult>u'Hello world!'</Response>)
[java] </Envelope>
[java] 127.0.0.1 - - [19/Jul/2009 23:49:00] "POST / HTTP/1.1" 200 44
Flash
-----
The :doc:`Hello World <../general/helloworld/index>` examples should all work with this
example's ``server.py``.
