Using placeholders in context.xml for builds

Hi,

Anyone know if you can use placeholders in context files, e.g

<Context docBase="ROOT" reloadable="${tomcat.webapp.root.reloadable}" antiJARLocking="tomcat.webapp.root.antijarlocking" antiResourceLocking="tomcat.webapp.root.antireslocking">

Currently I am using Ant to perform replacements on the single quoted values in full, e.g replace reloadable='true' with reloadable='false'

<Context docBase="ROOT" reloadable='true' antiJARLocking='false' antiResourceLocking='false'>

It works but it's not quite elegant,

Cheers, Allistair

Re: Using placeholders in context.xml for builds

Posted by Bob Hall <rf...@yahoo.com>.
Allistair,

You can use ant's <copy/> task with 'filtering'
enabled to accomplish what you want to do.

This can be done uing properties files or with
command line parameters.

foo.properties:
reloadable=true

command line:
$ ant -Dreloadable=true

<copy filtering="true" .....>

  <filterset>
     <filtersfile
       file="${props.src.dir}/foo.properties" />
     <filter token="reloadable"
value="${reloadable}"/>
  </filterset>
</copy>

- Bob




<Context docBase="ROOT" reloadable="@reloadable@"
 antiJARLocking="tomcat.webapp.root.antijarlocking"

antiResourceLocking="tomcat.webapp.root.antireslocking">
