Okay let me explain a bit more.
I have to read a path from an XML. The XML is constructed by somebody else and he/she knows the path relative to a root dir only.
So the path in the XML can be ${myapp1.dir}/common/jsp.

The build script that reads this XML can resolve this myapp1.dir dir.

So is it possible to use a variable in the XML and resolve the entire path after getting the path from the XML.

Any pointers would be helpful.

Hi
I am trying to read a path from an XML file.
For e.g here is an XML

<a>
   <b src="${myapp1.dir}/common/jsp" target="${myapp2.dir}/common/jsp"/ >
   <b src="${myapp3.dir}/common/jsp" target="${myapp4.dir}/common/jsp"/ >
</a>

And the section of the ant build file looks like this

   <loadproperties srcFile="c:/myappdir/conf/sbm.conf"/>

<xmltask source="myXMLFile.xml"> <call path="a/b" target="package-Resources" inheritAll="true" inheritRefs="true"> <param name="src" path="@src"/> </call>
       </xmltask>

The values of the variables myapp1.dir, myapp2.dir, myapp3.dir, myapp4.dir are available in the sbm.conf file and are loaded correctly. When I read the src from the xml file, the full patch for ${src}doesn't get resolved. The ${src} remains as ${myapp1.dir}/common/jsp. How to resolve this a correct path?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Anand
