http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23942 Addition of a local property ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-10-21 16:36 ------- The localscope patch uses dynamic scoping (like lisp) and not static scoping (like C) so the result of calling <B/> <echo message="${fooA}"/> is whatever A is set fooA to. fooA is a global property - it has not been shaddowed by a local property. Another example is: <target name="j"> <macrodef name="A"> <sequential> <property name="fooA" value="splatto"/> <property name="fooB" value="splatto"/> </sequential> </macrodef> <macrodef name="B"> <sequential> <localpropertyscope> <localproperty name="fooB" value="XB"/> <A/> </localpropertyscope> </sequential> </macrodef> <B/> <echo message="fooA is ${fooA}"/> <echo message="fooB is ${fooB}"/> </target> Which will generate: fooA is splatto fooB is ${fooB} the use of fooB in macroA will find the local property decalared in macroB and attempt to set it (as properties can only be set once, this will not succeed), and not create a global property fooB. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
