Usage of antcall

[pr...@wipro.com]

I am trying to use antcall, I had a property file called admin.size in
which value admin=136374, I can't put this property file admin.size
ouside of create-zip target.

<target name="create-zip" description="Generates the zip files">
	
		<property file="admin.size"/>
		<move file="Admin.zip"
tofile="${common.name}${today.date}${admin.name}${admin}.zip"/>
		<mkdir
dir="${today.date}/${common.name}${today.date}${admin.name}${admin}"/>
	
	</target>
	<target name="splitte-zip">
		<antcall target="create-zip"/>
		<java classname="Helper" fork="yes" failonerror="true">
			<arg value="-break[10240]"/>
			<arg
value="${common.name}${today.date}${admin.name}${admin}.zip"/>
			<arg
value="${today.date}/${common.name}${today.date}${admin.name}${admin}"/>
		</java>
	</target>


gives error:
     [java] Error opening input file: java.io.FileNotFoundException:
OCC_20051020_PAdmin_${admin}.zip (The system cannot find the file
specified)

   can anyone guess what I am doing wrong, and how I should use antcall,

The short answer is to not use <antcall>, but target dependencies
instead, and more specifically, the depends attribute of <target>.

The slightly longer answer...

The problem is that at a high-level every <antcall>
invokes an new private "ANT" environment.  Any
properties that are defined inside that new private
"ANT" enviroment are not copied back out to the
orignating "ANT" enviroment.

Your property ${admin} is loaded inside a private
"ANT" enviroment and so its visible/lifetime is
limited to that enviroment.

By using a depends= attribute (or a <macrodef>
technique) on starting target you retain the original
ANT enviroment through all the ANT targets and so all
properties definitions are retained.

Hope that helps
