ahh, got it! hah
I have this in a filters.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project>
<filterset id="filters">
<filter token="LOGS_DIR" value="${logs.dir}"/>
<filter token="DATABASE_URL" value="${am.db.url}"/>
</filterset>
</project>
this in the build.xml
<import file="filters.xml"/>
and then this in my ant copy tasks:
<copy todir="${war.staging.dir}/WEB-INF" overwrite="true">
<fileset dir="${basedir}/WebRoot">
<include name="*.xml"/>
</fileset>
<filterset refid="filters"/>
</copy>
So in the end, it just happens that the way the filterset is implemented in my
case is "wonky" to say the least.
I imagine, maybe, I could ant.import my filters.xml directly into my
build.gradle,a nd then just refer to the filters redid
maybe :)?
