Creating CallTarget in BSH to make a antcall

["Jan, Andersson" <Ja...@agriculture.gov.ie>]

Hi!
I'm trying to do an antcall in BeanShell as an alternative to project.executeTarget("X"). This to be able to pass in parameters.
This is the way I tried to do it:

<script language="beanshell"> <![CDATA[
	xyz = project.createTask("CallTarget"); 
	xyz.setTarget("apply.patch_file"); //xyz seems to be null here...
	xyz.execute();
}
   ]]> </script>

I was thinking this should work since this works fine:
	 echo = project.createTask("echo");
       echo.setMessage("Message");

But an exception is thrown:
"file:C:/dev/IMAP_DEV/Tests/build.xml:50: com.ibm.bsf.BSFException: The applicati
on script threw an exception: java.lang.NullPointerException BSF info: <ANT> at
line: 0 column: columnNo
        at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.Script.execute(Script.java:143)"

Does anyone know about this or might be able to point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Jan

Sure it is.  createTask takes the name of the task, not the name of
the class implementing the task.

xyz = project.createTask("antcall"); 

should work.
