http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40561 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-09-21 12:42 ------- (In reply to comment #3) Stripping the prefix did not work because there is another bug or lack of documentation (I forgot to mention it, sorry). Peter's example works only if properties values have not been set previously. So it works with given snippets. But, like in my case, if some property values have been set previously (by another property file or by the build), then property values are not evaluated properly like in following example with a slightly modified build. build.xml (modified snippet) ========= <property name="project.factories.package" value="foo" /> <property file="default.properties" prefix="project" /> <echo>factories.format=${project.factories.format}</echo> Output (with peter's proposal) ====== factories.format={1}.factory.{2}BOFactory The correct output should be: factories.format={1}.foo.{2}BOFactory Property file local values take precedence and hide any previous property value. It act like if properties (project.factories.package) were mutable ! In our case, users should be able to override these default values. So, Peter's proposal did not work for me. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
