I want to be able to control the value of a string in my source code via XDoclet. This is my existing code: private static final String DEFAULT_CONFIG_PROP = "data/build.properties"; How to I use XDoclet to set DEFAULT_CONFIG_PROP to a value declared in my ant build.xml? I know this should be easy, but so far I'm seeing mostly examples for using XDocet for EJB.s Thanks in advance for your help! _________________________________________________________________ Find what you need at prices you'll love.
