Thanks brian for your quick replies and making me understand ...
I shared the whole example , build-configuration.xml , my source and
destination file are the same i.e. test1.xml, build.xml file that has the
xml tasks and error.. Sorry the trouble caused in chopping the content .. i
pasted the whole set so that the problem can be really understood....
I changed as per your inputs .. i added a new node in my test1.xml file --
<init-param>
<param-name>parameter 1</param-name>
<param-value>value for parameter 1</param-value>
</init-param>
and i tried using the copy xml task in build.xml ---
<target name="repeattask">
<xmltask source="${weblogic.home.cfgfile}" >
<copy path="count(/log4j:configuration/init-param)"
property="nooftimes"/>
</xmltask>
<echo>Building ${nooftimes}</echo>
<if name="count" value="0">
<antcall target="doUnitTests"/>
<else>
<echo>this won't happen</echo>
</else>
</if>
</target>
<target name="doUnitTests">
<xmltask source="${weblogic.home.cfgfile}"
dest="${weblogic.home.cfgfile}" failWithoutMatch="true">
<insert path="/log4j:configuration/root" position="after" >
<![CDATA[ <category name="com.bea.wli.event">
<priority value="debug" />
<appender-ref ref="RDBMS_EG_LOGFILE_DEBUG"/>
</category> ]]>
</insert>
</xmltask>
</target>
It worked and it didnt execute the doUnitTests.. which looks fine.. But my
concern was to look for the category with a particular name , if it exists
.. then it shouldnt write again...
this worked ..??
<copy path="count(/log4j:configuration/category/[...@name='Category3'])"
property="count"/>
