We are building a piece of software which has a number of Java properties files in xml format (the kind which are read with Properties.loadFromXML). An example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd";> <properties> <entry key="appName">Name</entry> <entry key="startBean">Something</entry> <entry key="versionNumber">2.5</entry> </properties> I would like to be able to read these files and use their properties from within ant. The property task doesn't seem to handle properties files in xml so I have been trying to use the xmlproperty task: <xmlproperty file="temp.properties.xml" prefix="temp" /> But then all the values get thrown into the temp.properties.entry property: <echo> using Prop=${temp.properties.entry} </echo> gives: [echo] using Prop=Name,Something,2.5 I assume that this should be trivial but I can't find a good solution to get it to do the obvious thing (load three separate properties). Suggestions? Second question, since the Sun dtd specifies SYSTEM (not a publicid), is it possible to use xmlcatalog?
