Maybe the try/catch/finally custom task in ant-contrib on sourceforge would help. --DD

Basically I'm looking for suggestions on the easiest way to implement an task or target error handler. In other words, I have a couple of targets that invoke an 'exec' task. If a particular task fails, I may need to do some clean-up before exiting the build script. One solution is to write a task subclass that overrides the 'execute()' method, catches 'BuildException', calls the specified error handler and then rethrows the exception. Not too complicated but I'm sure someone out there has come up with a technique to handle this situation within the build script itself. Perhaps a clever combination of dependencies and property setting. If so, I'd like to hear about it. - Mike ---------- Mike Sexter (650)633-8603 Principal Member of Technical Staff <http://www.oraclemobile.com/>OracleMobile - Online Studio http://msexter.tripod.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
