how to get custom task object?

[Robert Koberg <ro...@koberg.com>]

Hi,

I am trying to create some custom types and tasks, but having a problem 
getting back the custom task object to reset some values. My custom task 
is coming in as an UnknownElement. I then try to cast to my object using 
UnknownElement.getRealThing() (or getTask), but it gives me a null. How 
do you get a custom task object?


Task[] tasks = target.getTasks();

Target clonedTarget = new Target();
clonedTarget.setProject(lsb);

for (int i=0; i < tasks.length; i++) {
     Task task = tasks[i];
     String name = task.getTaskName();
     if (name.equals("xsltransform")) {
         UnknownElement unElem = (UnknownElement) task;

/*
This next line sets xslTransform == null
*/

         XslTransform xslTransform = (XslTransform) unElem.getRealThing();

         //XslTransform xslTransform = (XslTransform) unElem.getTask();

         xslTransform.setOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
     }

     clonedTarget.addTask(task);
}

thanks,

p.s. I created a XslTemplates top-level type that can be referenced by 
an XslTransform task. This allows for two things; a cache of templates 
objects, and the ability to set a URIResolver on the Templates object to 
resolve xsl:import/include and a URIResolver on the Transformer object 
to resolve calls from the XSL document function. If anyone is interested 
I can provide them (though I am sure they would need work...).
