can we use an ANT property in the DOCTYPE settings?

Hey everyone,

can we use an ANT property in the Doctype settings?

I basically want to do:
<!DOCTYPE project [
  <!ENTITY service   SYSTEM "modules/${service}">
]>

regards,
Nagender

No you cant.
That section is processed while xml parsing and therefore before Ant can do anything.

But have you had a look at <import>?

I don't think it's possible. Maybe you should generate another ant file from
main build and call the subbuild from there. Maybe generating
subbuild.xmllike this:

<filter token="service" value="${service}"/>
  <copy file="subbuild-src.xml "tofile="subbuild.xml" filtering="true" />
</filter>

After copying/filttering you can then call it via
<ant antfile="subproject/subbuild.xml" target="compile"/>

subbuild-src.xml should contain something like this:

<!DOCTYPE project [
  <!ENTITY service   SYSTEM "modules/@SERVICE@">
]>

Not tested this actually, but I thin :) it should work..
