I have seen a build processs used in petstore example,could not understand.You may easily understood and help me in this regard.
Qtn1. see below example. What is %1,2,3,4? what it is invoking? @echo off set ANT_HOME=../lib/ant set ANT_CLASSPATH=%JAVA_HOME%/lib/tools.jar set ANT_CLASSPATH=%ANT_HOME%/lib/ant.jar;%ANT_HOME%/lib/xml.jar;%ANT_CLASSPATH% set ANT_CLASSPATH=%J2EE_HOME%/lib/j2ee.jar;%ANT_CLASSPATH% %JAVA_HOME%\bin\java -classpath "%ANT_CLASSPATH%" -Dant.home=%ANT_HOME% -Dj2ee.home=%J2EE_HOME% org.apache.tools.ant.Main %1 %2 %3 %4 Qtn2. How do we invoke targets if the build.xml has more than one Target with default as "core"? for example <target name="core" depends="compile_util_classes, compile_classes, customerejbjar" /> <target name="all" depends="compile_util_classes, compile_classes, customerejbjar, javadocs" /> <target name="clientjar" dpends= "compile, compile_classes"/> Qtn3. if we make ant call, does it expand the build.xml file with including other files or does it execute each ant file for each ant file? for example <target name="core" depends="init"> <ant antfile="${tracer.home}/src/build.xml" dir="${tracer.home}/src" target="core" /> <ant antfile="${customer.home}/src/build.xml" dir="${customer.home}/src" target="core" /> <ant antfile="${personalization.home}/src/build.xml" dir="${personalization.home}/src" target="core" /> <ant antfile="${inventory.home}/src/build.xml" dir="${inventory.home}/src" target="core" /> <ant antfile="${signon.home}/src/build.xml" dir="${signon.home}/src" target="core"/> <ant antfile="${shoppingcart.home}/src/build.xml" dir="${shoppingcart.home}/src" target="core" /> <ant antfile="${mail.home}/src/build.xml" dir="${mail.home}/src" target="core" /> </target> Qtn4. How to enable the properties using ant in your solution I am sorry if I am asking more questions,but it is kind of bothering me and I am not understanding,thought you would help me.
