"error: webxml attribute is required" but update=true !

[DannyKage]

Hi,
I am trying to create a war file and I get this error

BUILD FAILED
C:\temp\buildant.xml:5: webxml attribute is required

Here is my script:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<project name="test" default="main">
<target name="main">
<war update="true" destfile="test.war" basedir="c:/temp/test" >
<include name="*.DOC"/>
</war>
</target>
</project>

From the documentation for war:

webxml is required "unless update is set to true", which in my script it is. I'm using ant version 1.6.5

 

[arrgh]

Did you previously run the script using the webxml attribute? I do not know but I would gues there is no pre-existing web.xml file referenced which is why you are getting that message.
