Hi,
This approach is working really well!
I've found that the target executing <antcall> contains a lot of repeated
code, though; is it possible to nest parameters?
For example, I have:
<target name="get-docs-all">
<antcall target="get-docs">
< param name="questions" value="QA2006_testset.xml" />
< param name="engine" value="Terrier (AQUAINT)" />
< param name="output" value="QA2006_terrier" />
< param name="maxdocs" value="200" />
</antcall>
<antcall target="get-docs">
< param name="questions" value="QA2006_testset.xml" />
< param name="engine" value="Lucene (AQUAINT)" />
< param name="output" value="QA2006_lucene" />
< param name="maxdocs" value="200" />
</antcall>
<antcall target="get-docs">
< param name="questions" value="QA2006_testset.xml" />
< param name="engine" value="Indri (AQUAINT)" />
< param name="output" value="QA2006_indri" />
< param name="maxdocs" value="200" />
</antcall>
</target>
Though something like the following would be preferred (the syntax is
utterly wrong):
<target name="get-docs-all">
< param name="questions" value="QA2006_testset.xml" />
< param name="maxdocs" value="200" />
<antcall target="get-docs">
< param name="engine" value="Terrier (AQUAINT)" />
< param name="output" value="QA2006_terrier" />
</antcall>
<antcall target="get-docs">
< param name="engine" value="Lucene (AQUAINT)" />
< param name="output" value="QA2006_lucene" />
</antcall>
<antcall target="get-docs">
< param name="engine" value="Indri (AQUAINT)" />
< param name="output" value="QA2006_indri" />
</antcall>
</target>
Is this kind of structure achievable?
Thanks again for all your help!
All the best,
Leon
