Hi Ben,
I have solved the problem. I have changed this line
<jar jarfile="${refLocation}/${warName}.war" basedir="${build.dir}" />
and it works. Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Uma

Firstly, this seems best suited in a macrodef that can set a property
rather than in a custom task.
Secondly, doesn't this already do what you want? :
<basename file="${basedir}" property="warName"/>

Subject: return Substring from java file
Hi,
I wanted to do "substring" and get the resultant string in the build.xml
file. This is my java code
import org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException;
import org.apache.tools.ant.Task;
import java.io.File;
public class AntHelper extends Task {
private String message;
public void execute() throws BuildException {
message =
message.substring(message.lastIndexOf(File.separator)+1,
message.length());
System.out.println("In Java::"+message);
}
public void setMessage(String message) {
this.message = message;
}
public String getMessage(){
return message;
}
public void addText(String message) {
this.message = message;
}
public String createMessage() {
return message;
}
}
And this is my build.xml file
<target name="build" depends="compile" description="compile and
generate
the war file" >
<taskdef name="mytask" classname="AntHelper"
classpath="${antFiles}"/>
<mytask message1="${basedir}"/>
</target>
The reason I am doing this is in my project I am having different
modules
and each module will have a common build.xml file. I wanted to generate
the "base directory" name as the "WAR file name".
I get the value printed in the console, but I need the value in the
build.xml file so that I can set the war file name dynamically
<jar jarfile="${refLocation}/xx.war" basedir="${build.dir}"/>
Any clues please?
Regards,
Uma
