Weird behavior with mixing antcall with input
Hey Guys (and gals),
I am having some trouble with trying to use antcall with input tasks.
See attached build file (called whats_up.xml).
The two targets that don't work (realwork1 and realwork2) both use helper targets that use <antcall> tasks to invoke the <input> tasks, while the third target (realwork3) seems to work okay and so that why it think it is related to my usage of <antcall> task and not the <input> task.
The first target (realwork1) asks for the import.user name but is unable to expand its value in the messge for the input password.
The second target (realwork2) asks for the import.user the first time, and asks for it again the second time (due to a intentional typo) even though it should not.
Any ideas as to why the <antcall> invoked input tasks do not seem to honor the property set by previous <antcall> tasks

Xerces problem with JDK 1.5 and Ant 1.6.2
Posted by ram <ra...@curvesoft.com>.
Hi,
I'm having a problem running a small test program that calls
DocumentBuilderFactor.newInstance() and prints out the name
of the actual factory class.
If I run it by invoking java (1.5) directly on the commandline,
it works fine and reports the factory as:
factory is: com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl
If I run it with ant (1.6.1 or 1.6.2), I get this error:
[java] javax.xml.parsers.FactoryConfigurationError: Provider
com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl could not be instantiated
In both cases I'm adding nothing to the classpath beyond
the current directory (.).
Thanks for any help.
Ram

Properties set in the target run by <antcall> do not get passed back to
the calling target. I would suggest you investigate antcontrib's
