AntX: $map example from guide fails when key is missing?

[Sagi Mann <sa...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,
I'm trying to adopt example #2 from the $map URI guide:
http://antxtras.sourceforge.net/AntXtras/docs/userguide/valueuris/map.html
http://antxtras.sourceforge.net/AntXtras/docs/userguide/valueuris/map.html 

like so:
For each property in the 'p1' set, I print the value of the same property in
set 'p2'. For testing purposes, I print this TWICE: once by directly
echoing:
${$map:xxx?@(key)} 
and second by assigning the values to variables first, then echo the
variables:

<ax:foreach i="key" list="${$map:p1?keys}" mode="local">
		<echo message="prop ${key}: expected=${$map:p1?@(key)}
existing=${$map:p2?@(key)}"/>
		<ax:assign name="expected" value="${$map:p1?@(key)}"/>
		<ax:assign name="existing" value="${$map:p2?@(key)}"/>
		<echo message="prop ${key} values: expected=${$var:expected}
existing=${$var:existing}"/>
</ax:foreach>

If p1 and p2 contain the same property keys, all is ok. If p1 contains a
property that does NOT exist in p2, the first echo is ok and displays (as it
should):
prop myprop: expected=1 existing=${$map:p2?@(key)}
But the second assign fails with the error:
Syntax error in property: ${key

I need to be able to assign the result to variables (or use it in a domatch
value attribute, which generates the same error). Does someone has any idea
why this does not work properly?

thanks.

Hi, I was unable to get your script to work.
the echo message was literally showing the $prop URI.

the script:

<ax:properties id="p1">
   <ax:property name="prop1" value="xxx"/>
</ax:properties>
<ax:foreach i="key" list="${$map:p1?keys}" mode="local">
   <echo>
   ${key}: p1='${$prop:p1->@(key)}'
   </echo>
</ax:foreach>

the output:

prop1: p1='${$prop:p1->@(key)}'


so I'm still stuck :-)
any ideas?
thanks...

Hi Sagi,

A couple of things:
  1) Try using ${$prop:p1->@(key)} inside the loop instead of $map:
     Less overhead and a bit clearer.
  2) In AntXtras 0.5.x you cannot assign an empty string to a var
     (this is fixed in AntXtras 2.0.0 but that's still in alpha)
     So if the key does not exist in p2, you need a dummy marker
     string like 'MISSING' or something.

I don't completely understand what you're trying to do...but here
is some reworked example script for AntX 0.5.1:

<t:foreach i="key" list="${$map:p1?keys}" mode="local">
   <echo>
   ${key}: p1='${$prop:p1->@(key)}'; p2='${$prop:p2->@(key)?}'"
   </echo>
   <t:assign var="existing" value="${$prop:p2->@(key)?MISSING}"/>
   <t:domatch variable="existing">
     <t:equals value="MISSING"/>
     <t:otherwise>
       [Do you processing here...]
     </t:otherwise>
   </t:domatch>
</t:foreach>


HTH,
The Wabbit
