Hello,
I am trying to do the following:
Have a session where a user is assigned an ID, then have another
subsequent session where the user accesses that ID.
>From what I can tell, I have to do this in separate Ant projects (I
tried restructuring my entire architecture to have a single top level
project, but then encountered countless other obstacles that would have
necessitated me re-writing the entire suite from scratch -- IIRC because
of what can and can't be nested...).
So, what I'm trying to do is use antWrapper calls as follows:
Session1:
<storeRegEx
description="Remember registry number"
text="gl[0-9]+[a-z]?"
group="0"
property="regNumber"
/>
<storeProperty
description="convert prop type "
name="registryNumber"
value="#{regNumber}"
propertyType="ant"/>
<antWrapper>
<exec executable="touch"> <arg
value="tmp/${registry.accessLevel}.lastName.${registrantLastName.value}"
/></exec>
<exec executable="touch"> <arg
value="tmp/${registry.accessLevel}.regNumber.${registryNumber}"
/></exec>
</antWrapper>
Session2 (separate project):
<antWrapper>
<exec executable="ls" outputproperty="lastName"><arg
value="tmp/protected.lastName.*"/> </exec>
<exec executable="ls" outputproperty="regNumber"><arg
value="tmp/protected.regNumber.*"/> </exec>
<echo message="last name is ${lastName}"/>
</antWrapper>
Note: in the Session1 example, I've tried -- within the antWrapper --
to access the registryNumber both with #{} and ${}.
Also, it might seem a funny way to try to store values (using a
filename, with touch and ls....); I tried to set environment variables,
but to no avail.
I can see in my results that the #{regNumber} does resolve to a value
and gets assigned to registryNumber, however, looking in my tmp
diorectory I have only seen files named
protected.regNumber.${registryNumber}
Or
protected.regNumber.#{registryNumber}
Also, in the echo statement form session2, it echoes 'last name is
${lastName}', without resolving the variable. (looking in the directory,
the variable has been resolved in the "touch" operation, and should be
something like "protected.lastName.Smith")
I suspect that most of this is caused by and variables being reasolved
at compile time, and dynamic variables being resolved at runtime (or in
realtime - forget the phraseology used...), but then I don't understand
how any variable could be converted from Dynamic to Ant as explained in
the docs.
In any event, if anyone has a better way of doing what I'm trying to do,
it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
