ANT to Remote Tomcat Deployment gets 500 - java

So I made an ANT target to deploy our app to Tomcat on a remote development server. The ANT deploy to tomcat target works 100% perfect on a local Tomcat instance. When I deploy to the remote server I get a fat 500 error but the application actually deploys to the server and we can view and use it just fine as if there were no errors.
Super cool that it works but the 500 error causes the ANT target to say the build failed. If ANT says the build failed, so will Hudson our build server, which means we will have sad red dots instead of happy green ones.
We are using the latest and greatest ANT with Tomcat v9.
Below is the error I get when I execute my "ant deploy-dev" target.
[username#localhost app.directory]$ ant deploy-dev
Buildfile: /home/username/git/app.directory/build.xml
Trying to override old definition of datatype resources
deploy-dev:

Anyone have any idea why the deploy to remote works but still returns an error? The error I get is kind of vague so I don't know what I could do to debug it.

The problem was the server was taking too long to deploy the app. Somewhere the Tomcat Deploy target is waiting for a response from the server saying the app was deployed. Unfortunately the only error is the 500 and there is nothing else to go on.
The solution, I simply re-installed Tomcat with Version 9, up from 8, and everything turned on much faster and the build was successful.
I can't really say this is the best answer but I got everything working.Hopefully someone has a better solution one day.

SonarQube Ant task, failed to download the file

I am running a simple Ant script for SonarQube and have the following error:
FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\c5187668\sap\simpleAnt.sonar\batch\sonar-batch-maven-compat-5.1.2.jar|99845a2f47eaef85b29978725f82c50c"

P.S. by question marks ????? I hide real server name and credentials.
Your Ant Task version (2.0) is not compatible with your SonarQube version. This compatibility matrix shows that v2.2 is a minimum requirement since SonarQube 3.7 (2.4 being the best choice for SonarQube 4.5+).
You should upgrade your SonarQube Scanner for Ant and also use a supported version of Java.
You told Ant that your SonarQube server is running at http://?????? , the script therefore fails (quite understandably) to download the resources it needs from the server.
Fix this:
<property name="sonar.host.url" value="http://??????" />
The value should be the URL you use to browse your SonarQube server's homepage.
P.S.: you'll also have to fix sonar.jdbc.username and sonar.jdbc.password

HtmlUnitDriver is throwing java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

I am writing an ant task which uses below code :
public class Klazz extends Task{
public void execute() throws BuildException{
HtmlUnitDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();
driver.get("file:///C:/sample/alltests-fails.html");
}
In eclipse the project named is "test-project" and used "libs" folder which contains the jars (ant.jar, selenium-server-standalone-2.44.0.jar) to be added in the classpath . If I run the code in Eclipse its working fine but while running as an ant task it throws java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError . Below is the build.xml snippet to create the jar(named custom-task.jar) file which needs to be put in the %ant_home%\lib folder.
<target name="jar" depends="compile" >
<mkdir dir="build/jar" />
<jar destfile="${env.ANT_HOME}/lib/custom-task.jar">
<fileset dir="build/classes" />
<restrict>
<name name="**/*.class" />
<archives>
<zips>
<fileset dir="${basedir}/libs/" includes="**/*.jar" />
</zips>
</archives>
</restrict>
</jar>
</target>
May be the external jars/classes not added properly in the class path while creating the jar through the "jar" task above, resulting some missing class files causing the ExceptionInInitializerError.
Advance thanks for any help on this .

Should there have been any class loading difficulties, I would assume a NoClassDefFoundError or a ClassNotFoundException would occur
The ExceptionInInitializerError is usually not what should draw attention, because it only says "Hey, programmer, an exception happened inside an initialization block"
More about initialization blocks here
Therefore, dealing with the NPE will fix the issue, but unfortunately I've no access to the code that could've caused this. Let me know and I shall edit the answer.
#Vlad Ilie thanks for having a look , its solved now.. the problem is with jar creation ant script .
The earlier ant task for the jar creation is not able to club all the jars in the class path and resulting... classnotfoundexception which in turn caused the ExceptionInInitializerError and NullPointerException .
Below is the fixed "jar" task which is successfully able to add all the jars in the class path .
<target name="jar" depends="compile">
<jar destfile="${env.ANT_HOME}/lib/custom-task.jar" basedir="build/classes" >
<zipgroupfileset dir="${basedir}/libs/" includes="*.jar"/>
</jar>
</target>
Above I used zipgroupfileset which is very handy .

When I tried to find the class Base64 in the package org\apache\tomcat\util\codec\binary\ which is in tomcat-util.jar, and it is in the classpath which I've verified by an echo in Ant build file.
I'm not able to solve the issue.
Just in case someone runs into the same problem I was having:
I was following the tutorial on the Tomcat website and I ran into the same NoClassDefFoundError issue when I tried to run ant install.
The tutorial mentions that you have to copy $CATALINA_HOME/lib/catalina-ant.jar1 (which contains the implementation code for the Ant custom tasks) to the lib directory of your Ant installation.
It does not mention, however, that you need to do the same thing for tomcat-util.jar. As soon as I copied tomcat-util.jar to my Ant directory, things started working (source).
1$CATALINA_HOME is the directory of your Tomcat installation, e.g. /usr/share/tomcat8
Please make sure you have added the tomcat-util.jar in the classpath as below.
<path id="catalina-ant-classpath">
<!-- We need the Catalina jars for Tomcat -->
<!-- * for other app servers - check the docs -->
<fileset dir="${appserver.lib}">
<include name="catalina-ant.jar"/>
<include name="tomcat-util.jar"/>
</fileset>
</path>

Running project java class from ant using maven for dependencies

I am trying to run a Java class as part of the deployment of my project (I want to create some resources at deployment, which can then be read at runtime).
For the most part, I am using maven for the build cycle - in particular for dependency management.
This what I've got to; creating a path (run), and adding the dependencies from maven using the maven ant tasks, and then running a target that calls a java class (MyClass), which has been compiled to ...MyClass.class in the target\src directory, using a classpath of that directory and the run path specified above.
<path id="run" />
<artifact:dependencies pathid="run">
<artifact:pom file="pom.xml" id="my_project" />
</artifact:dependencies>
<target name="runMyClass">
<java classname="...MyClass" fork="yes" maxmemory="512M" append="true">
<classpath>
<pathelement location="target\classes"/>
<pathelement id="run" />
</classpath>
</java>
</target>
I know that the target\classes is correct - if I comment out the addition of the run path, it finds the class, but reports that some of the imports in the class are not available on the classpath.
However, when I run this, I get the following stack trace:

To me, this looks like an exception is being thrown in the ant code in the process of adding the path set to the classpath, but I could be wrong.
Can anyone suggest (any of the following):
how I might go about debugging this?
an alternative approach to do what I'm trying to do (described
above)?
A little further playing gave me a workable solution...
Rather than refering to the maven dependencies as a path, I can refer to them using a fileset:

I don't know what was going on with the other approach, whether it's user error or a bug, so if anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate comments.

Weblogic Ant JWSC task to generate a webservice war file

I am running a jwsc ant task to generate a war file. It is working fine for me if I add the weblogic.jar to classpath before running the ant script (CLASSPATH=/opt/bea/weblogic91/server/lib/weblogic.jar export CLASSPATH)
But is is not working if I add this in my build.xml as follows:
<target name="GenerateWarFiles">
<path id="lib.jwsc.id">
<pathelement path="/opt/bea/weblogic91/server/lib/weblogic.jar"/>
</path>
<taskdef name="jwsc" classname="weblogic.wsee.tools.anttasks.JwscTask" classpathref="lib.jwsc.id"/>
<jwsc srcdir="${src.java.dir}" destdir="${build.war.file.dir}" verbose="on" debug="on" classpathref="lib.jwsc.id">
<jws file="sep/com/bt/prf/jws/TypeImpl.java" compiledWsdl="${ivy.lib.dir}/WSDLC/Jwslib-8.0.jar" />
</jwsc>
</target>
I am getting the following error.
[AntUtil.deleteDir] Deleting directory /var/tmp/_927vxb

I am running weblogic91 in Solaris.
I'm betting that in your deployment target (Which isn't posted here) is trying to 'clean' up the deployment directory, and is failing when it can't find the file called /var/tmp/_927vxb/web.xml
3 suggestions:
Run touch /var/tmp/_927vxb/web.xml from the command line and try to run the build/deployment again. This will create an empty file that will at least let you get past the file not found on delete error. This is not a long term solution, but rather an attempt to expose the real issue.
Look at line 231 in your /wls_domains/CIT/cruisecontrol-bin-2.8.3/util/Ivy/build.xml file. Perhaps there is a delete ant task that is failing on error. If this is the case, add `failonerror="false" to the ant task that is causing the issue.
Post more of your build file here. Being able to align the line numbers in the file with the error will help in decoding the issue.
