can filesets be stored in a properties file?
hi folx,
is it possible to use the refid of a fileset that is stored in a properties
file? if so, how??
i am new to ant and to java. i have successfully created a build that uses
one of two properties files based on a variable that is passed at the
command line via -D option. now i would like to move my fileset to the
properties files, but when i do, the refid no longer works.
thanks...

if that's all you need, you can use <echo> task combined with the
${toString:NameOfYourID} property, i.e.
<fileset id="myfileset" dir="C:/Test" includes="**/*.xml"/>
and later
<echo file="fileset.txt">${toString:myfileset}</echo>
write the files in a separated list to a file.
if you need another format, i.e
file1
file2
file3
...
you can go via antcontrib =
http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/
pseudocode, see examples in the manual of antcontrib =
http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/tasks/tasks/for.html
<for param="file">
<path>
your fileset
</path>
<sequential>
echo @{file}${line.separator}
...

If you know that you only have a finite number of
filesets, here typicalTableSQL and typicalTabStorage,
it shouldn't be too difficult. You should be able to
add some properties to generic.properties or another
properties file to handle what you need. Here's what
I would probably do:
#new file e.g. "filesets.properties":
typicalTableSQL.dir=sql_def/tables
typicalTableSQL.includes=**/*.tmplt
typicalTableSQL.excludes=a.tmplt,b.tmplt,${EXCLUDE01}.tmplt
typicalTabStorage.dir=sql_def/storage
typicalTabStorage.includes=${DBMS}_typtab_storage.tmplt
#end
Then add to your buildfile, after you've loaded
generic.properties:
<property file="filesets.properties" />
<macrodef name="createFileset">
<attribute name="assignid" />
<sequential>
<!-- default includes and excludes -->
<property name="@{assignid}.includes" value="**/*"
/>
<property name="@{assignid}.excludes" value="" />
<fileset id="@{assignid}" dir="${@{assignid}.dir}"
includes="${@{assignid}.includes}"
excludes="${@{assignid}.excludes}" />
</sequential>
</macrodef>
<createFileset assignid="typicalTableSQL" />
<createFileset assignid="typicalTabStorage" />
... finally, of course, remove your old fileset
definitions.
Good luck,
Matt

hi matt, thanks for your reply...here you are ant folx:
my requirement is to produce sql using ant. i am enjoined not to use
velocity, groovy, or anything but ant.
as such, what i am trying to replicate is shell script logic because those
are my marching orders. i mention this because i'm sure real application
developers will object to this egregious misuse of ant...
:arguing:
regardless, what i did was create a working build ...all i really need to
understand is how to move the fileset to an external file that will then be
used based on the DBMS property which value is passed at the command line.
thanks in advance for your help ant folx!
