ANTS query

["christos Tsarouchis" <christos.tsarouchis@hitachi-eu.com>]

Hello everyone!!

 We are a team from Hitachi Europe Ltd based in Cambridge(UK), and we
have undertaken the task of officially evaluating the Openet platform.
This evaluation is part of a complete evaluation process of various AN
platforms, done by Hitachi Europe and other parties in the context of
the FAIN project. (www.ist-fain.org)
We have therefore, set up a test bed consisting of 4 PCs, 3 of them
running Linux Redhat 6.2 and one running Windows NT.(At this stage we
have no Accelar).
Our testbed looks like this:

 _________                   ------------             ________
    Linux                               Linux                      Linux

     Ants          ---------- Ore ANTS --------    ANTS
_________        |          ------------              ________
 source               |               router
destination
192.168.74.2     |            192.168.74.3          192.168.77.4
                          |            192.168.77.3
                          |
           -------------
             NT HTTP
             server
           ------------
           192.168.74.20

We are trying to run ANTS as a service.
We have modified the ants.config and ping.routes files to match the
above structure and they are residing in the NT server.
We also made changes in the AntsNodeServiceImpl.java.(we chose not to
support getLocalHost()  (lines 76,77(?),88(?) are commented).
The OREROOT variable points to our ORE distribution, The CLASSPATH
variable points to .../ore-ants/accelar/ants and our Java is Sun 1.2.2.

However, when we try to "make" to produce the ANTS.jar we get the
following message:
java.io.IOException: invalid header field
 at java.util.jar.Attributes.read(Attributes.java:349)
 at java.util.jar.Manifest.read(Manifest.java:155)
 at java.util.jar.Manifest.<init>(Manifest.java:55)
 at sun.tools.jar.Main.run(Main.java:120)
 at sun.tools.jar.Main.main(Main.java:774)
make: *** [ants.jar] Error 1

Probably it is an IOException as the configuration cannot be accessed.
How can that be?

We are looking forward to your comments.Thanks in advance.

Regards
Christos
