Hi,
i cant just remove lines out of my xml file. this code is shown all in one line in my file. i dont know why it is splitted by a line break in the mailinglist. with using this code: <target name="AenderungApplicationXML" depends="warEntpacken" description="Anpassungen in application.xml"> <xmltask source="${AppXML}" > <copy path="/:application/:display-name/text()" property="dn_value"/> <copy path="/:application/:module/@id" attrvalue="true" property="id_value"/> <copy path="/:application/:module/:web/:context-root/text()" property="cr_value"/> </xmltask> i get the display-name element (EARFILE), i get the context-root (ABCPortlets) but i DONT get the attribute 'id'. what would a proper Path look like to read out the id attribute in /application/module/@id ?

Thats my xml file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <application id="Application_ID" version="1.4" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/application_1_4.xsd"> <display-name>EARFILE</display-name> <module id="WebModule_1213257640343"> <web> <web-uri>ABCPortlets.war</web-uri>> <context-root>ABCPortlets</context-root>. </web> </module> <security-role id="SecurityRole_1220508656187"> <role-name>allAuthenticated</role-name> </security-role> </application> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Xmltask-users mailing list Xmltask-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xmltask-users **************** CAUTION - Disclaimer ***************** This e-mail contains PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).
