Hi all,
I'm interested in using ${...} property references in
a filter file such that the filter file can supply a
${...} string in the token replcement process and then
the ${...} gets replaced with the value of the
property. It looks like I can't quite get there from
here.
My first attempt was as follows:
<copy file="file1" tofile="file2">
<filterset>
<filtersfile file="filters"/>
</filterset>
<filterchain>
<expandproperties/>
</filterchain>
</copy>
However, the ExpandProperties substitutions occur
before the filtering token replacement so I end up
with ${...} in my file2.
It seems that the FilterChain way to do this would be
to:
1) extend the ReplaceTokens FilterChain to have a
filtersfile option
2) put the ReplaceTokens filter in the chain before
ExpandProperties
3) stop using the <filterset>
Is there something else I should be considering?
Particularly something that is already supported? If
not, I'll have a whack at extending the ReplaceTokens
FilterReader or look for something else to extend.
Thanks,
Rick
