That is the expected behavior. We have the following note in the STAF Ant
User's Guide section 3.2:
Note that since Ant properties are immutable, meaning that they cannot be
changed after being set, to get the correct return code and result value
from the STAF Ant Task, you need to use a unique resultPrefix every time
the STAF Ant Task is used.

[staf-users] STAF Ant resultprefix
Hello,
I Just want to confirm if the resultprefix logic for the STAF Ant addon is
correct or not. I am currently building up an ANT script which will
contains ANT based marcos. The ANT based macros are wrappers for STAF
commands, for example:
This ant macro wraps the STAF variable resolution based on target system
and variable.
<macrodef name="getSTAFVAR">
<attribute name="targetSystem" default="localhost"/>
<attribute name="targetVAR" default="none-provided"/>
<attribute name="stafres" default="none"/>
<sequential>
<staf location="@{targetSystem}"
service="VAR"
request="RESOLVE STRING {@{targetVAR}}"
resultPrefix="@{stafres}"
throwBuildException="1"/>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
Now when I call this macro such as:
<target name="test.staf.1">
<getSTAFVAR targetSystem="localhost" targetVAR="FOOBAR_1"
stafres="foobar"/>
<getSTAFVAR targetSystem="localhost" targetVAR="FOOBAR_2"
stafres="foobar"/>
<echo message="${foobar.result}"/>
<echo message="${foobar.result}"/>
</target>
It seems that the resultPrefix it maintaining the original value and not
be overwritten by the second calling of the ANT macro "getSTAFVAR", as you
can see below:
Please note I have the following set in my STAF.cfg
SET SYSTEM VAR FOOBAR_1=Hello
SET SYSTEM VAR FOOBAR_2=GoodBye
test.staf.1:
[staf] localhost VAR RESOLVE STRING {FOOBAR_1}
[staf] RC=0, Result=Hello
[staf] localhost VAR RESOLVE STRING {FOOBAR_2}
[staf] RC=0, Result=GoodBye
[echo] Hello <--This is from the first call
[echo] Hello <-This is from the second call, yet I was expecting
"GoodBye"
The only way I am currently getting around this is by each call, having a
unique resultPrefix such as:
<target name="test.staf.2" depends="test.staf.1">
<getSTAFVAR targetSystem="localhost" targetVAR="FOOBAR_1"
stafres="foobar"/>
<getSTAFVAR targetSystem="localhost" targetVAR="FOOBAR_2"
stafres="foobar2"/>
<echo message="${foobar.result}"/>
<echo message="${foobar2.result}"/>
</target>
test.staf.2:
[staf] localhost VAR RESOLVE STRING {FOOBAR_1}
[staf] RC=0, Result=Hello
[staf] localhost VAR RESOLVE STRING {FOOBAR_2}
[staf] RC=0, Result=GoodBye
[echo] Hello
[echo] GoodBye
Therefore is this the intended functionality/logic for the resultPefix Or
am I missing something here? As always thanks!
