scriptdef context

[Arthur Allen <ar...@hotmail.com>]

I'm trying to reference a task or target from a beanshell scriptdef.
There appears to be a difference between the context of an inline script and 
a scriptdef with respect to access to such objects. In the former case, i 
can use constructs like

theEcho.setMessage(...);

where theEcho serves as the id of an existing task, and in the latter case I 
cannot:
theEcho comes up as undefined!

What should I do?

Thanks, Arthur

Use the getReference() method on the project object to get the reference.

project.getReference("theEcho").setMessage(...)

should do it.
