parsing a task output for further processing

[Marc Logemann <de...@logemann.info>]

Hi,

i need a possibility to do actions based on some output of a task.
For instance, i have the tomcat_list task (which prints out the
installed applications and their status) and want to stop a specific
application only if the application is allready running.

If this is not possible, how can i achieve that ANT doesnt end
processing on an error of a task.

At the moment i have a application_stop task that breaks when the
application is not running at all. It would be nice if i could control
that the error behavior.

I read through the docs but couldnt find the correct spot.

Thx.

Marc

Maybe writing a BuildListener for this is an option.

Don't throw exceptions on failure 8-)

Another option is the TryCatch task from SourceForge's ant-contrib
project.

What does the output look like, and how are you running 'tomcat_list'?
