Thanks Brian,
Yes, I agree with you. I can understand why it is happening. I
couldn't tell you why installanywhere does it the way it does. But, if
that xml is allowed to be changed, then it breaks the compile. So, it
is a problem.
But, I have figured out the solution. I can use the 'replace' and
'fixcrlf' tasks to fix the file after the xmltask completes:
<fixcrlf srcdir="." includes="tmp.iap_xml" eol="lf" eof="remove"/>
<replace file="tmp.iap_xml" token="<string/>"
value="<string><![CDATA[]]></string>"/>
Thanks for the help.
-Jeff

Hi -
The linefeed issue sounds rather peculiar. I will have a look at that.
wrt. the empty strings, <string><![CDATA[]]></string> is being converted
to <string/> by the round tripping of the XML through file->DOM->file
conversion.
<string><![CDATA[]]></string> is (I suspect) equivalent to
<string></string> and thus to <string/> so I'm not surprised that this
occurs. I'm not sure that InstallAnywhere is really doing the right
thing
?
