I am playing around with using an xml file to load properties into my build
file. The xml properties are as follows ....
<environments>
<env name="u03">
<server.app.hostname>caix01</server.app.hostname>
<server.app.username>root</server.app.username>
<server.app.password>root</server.app.password>
<server.app.rootdir>/clearstage/env/u03</server.app.rootdir>
<billers>amexc,barcc,brgas,brtel,gfish,mbnac,mnsfs,morst,jlpac,onetl,orang,t
elew,tmobl,virgc,virge,vodaf</billers>
<debug>on</debug>
</env>
<env name="u02">
<server.app.hostname>caix01</server.app.hostname>
<server.app.username>root</server.app.username>
<server.app.password>root</server.app.password>
<server.app.rootdir>/clearstage/env/u02</server.app.rootdir>
<billers>amexc,barcc,brgas,brtel,gfish,mbnac,mnsfs,morst,jlpac,onetl,orang,t
elew,tmobl,virgc,virge,vodaf</billers>
<debug>on</debug>
</env>
</environments>
My ant code looks like:
<project name="play" default="init" basedir=".">
<target name="init">
<property name="env" value="u02"/>
<xmlproperty file="${basedir}/env.xml"
keeproot="false"/>
<echo>server.app.hostname=${env.server.app.hostname}</echo>
<echo>server.app.username=${env.server.app.username}</echo>
<echo>server.app.password=${env.server.app.password}</echo>
<echo>server.app.rootdir=${env.server.app.rootdir}</echo>
<echo>billers=${env.billers}</echo>
<echo>debug=${env.debug}</echo>
</target>
</project>
In a similar example in the book by Steve Loughran/Erik Hatcher, on page 76
it says that a customer property (aka my env property) can be overridden at
the command line like: ant -Dcustomer=joes_garage. However, further in the
text it describes a limitation of xmproperty - it handles only the first of
duplicate elements.
So does this mean that my example cannot successfully load the correct
properties based upon the command line, eg. ant -Denv=u02 or ant -Denv=u03?
Certainly i only get the first sibling element, ie. u03 nomatter what i
specify the env property to be ....
