Using Castor from Ant, how it can be done:
Use the ability of Ant to invoke a Java class. Set the arguments and
classpath
correct. Set the arguments:
-i for the input file (xsd)
-dest for the output sdestination
-f for suppression warning / requesting for user input (overwrite
existing
classes).
Set the classapth:
- a local directory (for inclusion of the file 'castorbuilder.properties')
- the classpath to castor.jar
- the classpath to xerces.jar (or other xml parser)
- the classpath to regexp.jar
Tip: First test if Ant can find Castor, remove the comment arround the
argument
'-h' and set comment arround the other two argument. This should print
the
Castor help info through Ant.
Warning: It is not possible to use properties in the castor arguments, they
are
not solved correct, path elements get mixed. At least this is my
experience. Let me know if there is a sollutioin for this.
Oke, a better way would even be to have a Castor task defined for Ant. Maybe
there is some time tomorrow to do that.
