We ran into an issue when we changed the default dita.temp.dir property

(in conductor.xml) from the default "${basedir}${file.separator}temp" to

a directory on a mapped drive, and deleted the temp directory from the

DITA-OT1.1.2.1 directory tree.



FYI - the mapped drive is different for each user.



Everything was fine except that the "property.temp" file was still being

written to the 'default' DITA-OT/temp directory (and the temp directory

was being created), rather than to the directory on the mapped drive.



This created a problem from a permissions point of view in that a user

who couldn't write to the 'default' DITA-OT/temp directory couldn't run

any transforms - even though he had permission to the new temp directory

on the mapped drive, he had no write permissions to the 'default'

directory where DITA-OT was installed. He now has to have permission to

write here.



As a temporary fix, I make sure to delete the 'default' DITA-OT/temp

directory after every transform - but this still presents a problem

because different users could potentially overwrite (or delete) each

other's property.temp file because that file always get written to the

same place.

Jerry,

If possible, can you have a try on the latest release of DITA-OT. I

tested on release 1.2 and believe that this bug is fixed on release

1.2  . Thanks.



Best Regards,

Stephen Zhang

Stephen,

No, the same issue also exists in release 1.2.

Here is my test for DITA-OT1.2:

Change the dita.temp.dir property in conductor_template.xml from the default "${basedir}${file.separator}temp" to C:${file.separator}temp.

Delete the DITA-OT1.2\temp directory

Run an xhtml transform from the commandline.

As the transform is running, watch the DITA-OT1.2 directory – you will see a temp directory be created.

Watch the c:\temp directory - you will see all of the other temp files populate this temp directory.

After the transform is finished, open the DITA-OT1.2\temp directory – the property.temp file will have been created here, rather than in the c:\temp directory.

There is one difference between DITA-OT1.1.2.1 and DITA-OT1.2. For DITA-OT1.2 I must edit the conductor_template.xml, whereas in DITA-OT1.1.2.1 I edit conductor.xml. The conductor.xml is rewritten each time a transform is run in DITA-OT1.2.

FYI – I was unable to actually complete a transform in DITA-OT1.2. I added the DITA-OT1.2 dost.jar to my CLASSPATH, but did not install Sun JDK 1.5. (I get the “Unable to instantiate specified logger class org.dita.dost.log.DITAOTBuildlogger” error.)

Will DITA-OT1.2 *only* run in Sun JDK 1.5.x? If so, this needs to be spelled out more clearly in the release notes.

Even though my transform failed, the DITA-OT1.2\temp directory is created and populated with the new property.temp file in DITA-OT1.2.

Stephen,

If I add the dita.temp.dir property to the ant script and process a transform through ant, my temp files end up in c:\temp where I expect them.

If I change the conductor_template.xml dita.temp.dir property to C:${file.separator}temp and run a transform through ant, my temp files end up in the c:\temp directory where I expect them.

I am still not able to run a transform through the java command line with dita-ot1.2. I can’t get past the “Unable to instantiate specified logger class org.dita.dost.log.DITAOTBuildlogger” even though all of my install directories and environment variables match the 1.2 install docs.

Hi Jerry,



To change the temp directory through Java command, you need to set the

"/tempdir" parameter in the Java command.



About the logger problem, it seems that the Logger class can't be

found, please ensure that you have put the "dost.jar" into the CLASSPATH.

Charlie

Subject: Unable to instantiate specified logger class org.dita.dost.log.DITAOTBuildlogge davidlasvega...

Jerry,

I'm new to this group, having attended the User Group conference in

Raleigh this May 2006. I've downloaded the toolkit (1.2) and installed

the tools. I too am stuck at the "Unable to instantiate specified

logger class org.dita.dost.log.DITAOTBuildlogger". I've run it from

the command prompt with the following. "java -jar lib/dost.jar

/i:samples/sequence.ditamap /outdir:out /transtype:xhtml".

I haven't changed any of the provided XML files and am just working on

trying to understand the calls. Your message thread below implies that

I should be using the Java SDK 1.5. I've installed and am using

version j2sdk1.4.2_08 (installed at the C: root). So.....

1. What do you (or anyone in the DITA group)suggest for

troubleshooting this step?

2. Does anyone have any (good) experience using the SDK1.5 version?

3. I know I'm missing something but I don't know where to look next.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

David Oliver

David,

In order to fix the problem you have, you need to set that jar file

lib\dost.jar in DITA-OT directory into your CLASSPATH.

In windows, please use set CLASSPATH=<DIT-OT DIR>\lib\dost.jar

In linux, please use export CLASSPATH=<DIT-OT DIR>/lib/dost.jar

Stephen

BTW, David

The change of include dost.jar into classpath is listed in the

download page section "Error handling and logging system".

http://dita-ot.sourceforge.net/SourceForgeFiles/doc/download.html

You can refer to that before your download next time.

#2374 From: "Jerry Kimmel" <jkimmel@...>

David,

No, I have not had any luck running any version of the DITA-OT with Java 1.5.

The Java 1.5 comment is in response to the release notes (relnotes.txt) for DITA-OT1.2 where the following is found:

3. SF RFE 1331727 Toolkit need to run on JDK 1.5.x(only support to run under Sun JDK 1.5 with saxon in normal case)

To me, this seems to say that this version of the toolkit (DITA-OT1.2) will only run in Java 1.5, and not in 1.4.2_x.

In my experience, this is not the case. My problem is that I cannot run any toolkit transformations from the Java commandline for DITA-OT1.2

An Ant script transform runs just fine under Java 1.4.2_xx with DITA-OT1.2

Have you had any luck?

Stephen,

I am still unable to run a transform from the Java command line in DITA-OT1.2

My classpath currently reads: CLASSPATH=C:\DITA-OT1.2\lib\dost.jar

which seems to match your instruction just fine: CLASSPATH=<DIT-OT DIR>\lib\dost.jar

Even though I seem to have my environment set up correctly, and transforms run correctly in Ant, I still get the:

"Unable to instantiate specified logger class org.dita.dost.log.DITAOTBuildlogger" when running from the Java commandline.

The "need to" in the description meant "ought to" as a new requirement, not

"must" as a limitation:

3. SF RFE 1331727 Toolkit need to run on JDK 1.5.x(only support to run

under Sun JDK 1.5 with saxon in normal case)

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1331727&group_id=132728\

&atid=725077



The toolkit continues to run fine on the long-tested Java 1.4.2 base. In

the full discussion for this bug (see the link), I see that the developers

discovered that Sun JDK 1.5 will not work with the default Xalan processor,

but will work with saxon 6.5.4 using either IBM SDK or Sun JDK 1.5.  I'll

ask the tools team to update the Tested Platforms and Tools document

(http://dita-ot.sourceforge.net/doc/DITA-tested.html)  with this latest

information.

David,

No, I have not had any luck running any version of the DITA-OT with Java

1.5.

The Java 1.5 comment is in response to the release notes (relnotes.txt) for

DITA-OT1.2 where the following is found:



3. SF RFE 1331727 Toolkit need to run on JDK 1.5.x(only support to run

under Sun JDK 1.5 with saxon in normal case)



To me, this seems to say that this version of the toolkit (DITA-OT1.2) will

only run in Java 1.5, and not in 1.4.2_x.

In my experience, this is not the case. My problem is that I cannot run any

toolkit transformations from the Java commandline for DITA-OT1.2

An Ant script transform runs just fine under Java 1.4.2_xx with DITA-OT1.2



Have you had any luck?



Stephen,

I am still unable to run a transform from the Java command line in

DITA-OT1.2

My classpath currently reads: CLASSPATH=C:\DITA-OT1.2\lib\dost.jar

which seems to match your instruction just fine: CLASSPATH=<DIT-OT

DIR>\lib\dost.jar



Even though I seem to have my environment set up correctly, and transforms

run correctly in Ant, I still get the:

"Unable to instantiate specified logger class

org.dita.dost.log.DITAOTBuildlogger" when running from the Java

commandline.

BTW, David

The change of include dost.jar into classpath is listed in the

download page section "Error handling and logging system".

http://dita-ot.sourceforge.net/SourceForgeFiles/doc/download.html

You can refer to that before your download next time.

Don,

Thank you!

Cool. That’s what I thought. It’s the 3^rd party tools that don’t play nice with Java 1.5 – and I should have spelled that out more clearly in my last post.

I’ve all but given up on using Java 1.5 (despite Unicode support for surrogate code points) for the time being until the entire suite of tools work correctly with Java 1.5.

Glad to see this disclaimer since I was still up in the air on the issue.

run correctly in Ant, I still get the:
"Unable to instantiate specified logger class
org.dita.dost.log.DITAOTBuildlogger" when running from the Java
commandline.

BTW, David
The change of include dost.jar into classpath is listed in the
download page section "Error handling and logging system".
http://dita-ot.sourceforge.net/SourceForgeFiles/doc/download.html
You can refer to that before your download next time.

Best Regards,
Stephen
