This was discussed earlier this week. I will paste my comments from
that conversation here. Although my comments are not specific to your
needs I think they will help you figure out what needs to be done. In
your case you would use the input to get the value of ${env} rather than
requiring it on the command line.Here it is.... Try creating a properties file for each environment. dev.properties =============== webpath=http://localhost:7001/cis-7.6.0 qa.properties ============= webpath=http://some-server.com:8185/cis-7.6.0 staging.properties ============== webpath=http://some-server2.com:8185/cis-7.6.0 Then in your build.xml you can load the appropriate properties file based on the value of another property, like ${env} for example. build.xml =========== ... <property file="${env}.properties"/> ... <!-- make sure the user set the env property when running ant --> <fail unless="env">You must specify the env property on the command line. For example: ant -Denv=dev </fail> So based in the value of ${env} you will have a different value for ${webpath}. You can do the same for other environment specific properties as well. I hope this helps. -Rob Anderson > -----Original Message----- > From: Guttula, Mohan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, May 23, 2006 3:48 PM > To: Ant Users List > Subject: How to dynamically initialize a property at runtime > based on the values of other properties initialized using > <input> inside a target? > > Hello All, > > I have some properties that I'm initilizing by using <input> > task in some targets.
