I have been playing with the Servicemix Ant tasks, with good luck so far. I was wondering whether there's any reason not to make the install tasks accept URLs (as an alternative to File paths).
Take the install-component task as an example. If I'm reading the code correctly (big if!), a small change to the InstallComponentTask.doExecute method would do the trick: 1) don't throw an exception if !archive.isFile() 2) if "file" is not a file, assume it's a URL and pass it through to acs.installComponent instead of archive.absolutePath I'm basing my assumption that this would work on the logic in AutoDeploymentService.unpackLocation, which I believe is where we end up, stepping through acs.installComponent -- logic that tries to treat the 'location' string parameter as a URL if it doesn't look like a file... exactly what I want. Thanks for any advice, John Muth __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
