Ant Contrib and question

Hello: I'm trying to write a macro to check if a property has been set in a xml property file. If it has not been set then I want to give it a default value. This is running in a loop (using the xmltask's call) to create db property files for several different environments. The loop works great

Append References? (refid question)

Hello: I think I've come up with a better way to ask my last question in a much more generic "how do I" type way. Is there a way to update a reference id within a loop? For example (not working code below but it shows more or less what I'm trying to do):

Dynamically Changing Dependencies

Hello: Sorry if this is the wrong spot to ask this question but while I'm using some 3rd party tasks the overall steps are probably fairly common. I currently have an XML property file that has dependencies defined like the following:

Hello: I'm scratching my head over this one. I need to have the zip file that I'm going to deploy include all the empty folders that the build creates. I have tried manually setting the 'filesonly=false' attribute but that still did not create the zip file with the empty folders. Now I can pla

Comparing Files on Two Servers

Hello: I'm hoping to save some time during deployments by comparing a local zip file against a remote server's zip file. My first thought was to use the checksum task, but the timestamps are deffinately going to be different. The basic idea is this: Perform a local build and zip up the files. Com

Speeding up FileSet Generation?

Hello: First off -- I must say thanks to everyone who has helped me in the past -- I've learned a lot from the users listserv and my answers are always (incredibly!) quickly answered. I'm running into major speed issues when generating a fileset during a copy process which I'm doing to back up fi

XML Parsing Question

Hello: I am trying to figure out how to handle the data being passed to me by my IT department. They finally agreed to send me an xml document (see snippet below) and that should have made my life much simpler. Maybe I should describe what I'm trying to do: I am attempting to stop multiple res

Delete Files and SubFolders
