http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32142 [PROPOSAL, PATCH] External public entity and new system entity IDs. ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-11-11 03:16 ------- Right, I spent a good deal of time considering whether antlib provided an alternative implementation. I finally decided that they are orthoginal. The main point being that this patch simply provides streams to a wider range of URLs. I use it to define external entities. Other people may use those URLs with any task that accepts a URL. I also thought that it would be interesting to modify import to accept a URL. It's essentially a free-be as all that is needed is to add an new attribute to the task and then open the URL provided by that attribute. Another interesting idea is that if you embed Ant into another product, then that product could provide an EntityResolver that resolves a set of public entity Ids. If your ant task uses one of these Ids as a URL, you'd get a stream that connects to the encapsulating product rather than a physical file.
