Strange. I've just done: <?xml version="1.0" ?> <project name="xmltask-demo" default="main">
<taskdef name="xmltask" classname="com.oopsconsultancy.xmltask.ant.XmlTask"/> <target name="main"> <property name="test" value="ok?"/> <xmltask dest="rauch-out.xml"> <insert path="/"> <![CDATA[ <root> ${test} </root> ]]> </insert> </xmltask> </target> </project> which works out of the box. Does your property evaluate to XML with a root node ? Brian On Fri, October 5, 2007 15:50, Holger Rauch wrote: > Hi Brian, > > first of all, thanks a lot for your help.
