scriptdef documentation - usage examples

[Mark Lybarger <Ma...@CBC-Companies.com>]

i'm looking for examples of the scriptdef task usage.  my desire to use this task is that i have a need to loop through all the beans in a directory and call a deploy ant task.  is this possible with the scriptdef?  what i'm looking for is a way to call another local task from w/i the scriptdef. and how to pass values to that task.  i'm familiar with java script, but could give another scripting a whirl if it's more suited.

thanks!

Something like this:

    <scriptdef name="deploybeans" language="beanshell">
       <element name="beans" type="path"/>
     <![CDATA[
      files = elements.get("beans").get(0).list();
      for (i = 0; i < files.length; ++i) {
         t = project.createTask("echo");
         t.setMessage("File is " + files[i]);
         t.execute();
      }
    ]]></scriptdef>
    <deploybeans>
      <beans>
        <fileset dir="." includes="*.bean"/>
      </beans>
    </deploybeans>

Or use <for> from antcontrib

<ac:for param="file" xmlns:ac="antlib:net.sf.antcontrib">
   <ac:path>
     <ac:fileset dir="." includes="*.bean"/>
    </ac:path>
    <ac:sequential>
        <echo>File is @{file}</echo>
    </ac:sequential>
</ac:for>
