I found a fragment I may reproduce, it is a very short part but it explain my problems   #each project configure the ears it should deploy (one or n ear) project.A.earliste = ear1,ear2,ear3 project.B.earliste = earb1,earb2,earb3   #each ear configure the j2ee module it contains (one or n) project.A.ear1.moduleList = web1,web2   #until here no pb, only project dependant : i do it with foreach task and propertycopy in my buildfile #and for the properties below i use several properties file (one per projet,env) #so what i need seem to be like that :   #transactionGateway gateway = ${gateway.${projectName}} gateway.A = foo gateway.B = bar   #now we define the directories : depends on env global.distribution = c:\distribution env.location = ${global.distribution}/${env.name} global.dir.bin = ${env.location}/bin global.dir.release = ${env.location}/${gateway}/release   #users user = ${user.${env.name}.${gateway}} user.QA.foo = batman user.QA.bar = batmantoo user.DEV.bar = robin   -----Message d'origine----- De : Emmanuel FELLER [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Envoyé : mardi 12 août 2003 16:05 À : 'Ant Users List' Objet : RE : Recursive expand of properties ( ${${foo}.${bar}} ) I must ask my boss, because the property file contains major information under NDA.   I should be able to prepare something without any major information but I don't know if it will be usable to demonstrate my problem. Thanks for looking my pb Emmanuel -----Message d'origine----- De : Dominique Devienne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Envoyé : mardi 12 août 2003 15:54 À : 'Ant Users List' Objet : RE: Recursive expand of properties ( ${${foo}.${bar}} ) I saw you post on Ant-Dev, please although it contains more info, it still does not convey enough details to clearly understand your goal. Would it be possible for you to post example build or properties file snippets that demonstrate your use case?

You may want to reconsider your use of such properties, and refactor the way you do what you are doing. For example, one can often combine the loading of one of many properties file, with the properties inside that file to 'similar' effect:   <property name="thisone" ... /> <property file="${thisone}.properties" />   Anyways, if maybe you explained what you are doing as opposed to how you planned on doing it, could this list provide alternate ways of achieving the same end, supported natively by Ant.   Regards, --DD   -----Original Message----- From: Emmanuel FELLER [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2003 2:16 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Recursive expand of properties ( ${${foo}.${bar}} )   Hi everybody,   I am searching a way to resolve recursive expand of properties like ${${foo}.${bar}} in a properties file.   I use propertycopy in my build file but i don't know how do this in a clean way for properties file. (I cannot use several properties file, i tried but it causes more issues than it correct.)   Does someone have a solution ? Thanks, Emmanuel
