A little more information ... I have a single XML Schema document (the source file). I'm using Castor on this schema to generate a set of java files. (There are multiple java files created - at least one for each element in the schema. This number is not known at castor-gen time. These java files will marshal and unmarshal information from xml files that comply with the above schema doc.) The java files are segregated into an isolated directory.
Then the procedure finishes with the standard compile routine. They are not jared into a single distributable. So the procedure is: single xml schema to multiple java files to multiple class files. I don't want to run Castor or javac if any of the java files are older then the XML schema document. So, with <uptodate>, I have a situation where I have a single source file (the XML schema document) with multiple target files (the multiple java files). If the relationship were reversed (many source to one target), I wouldn't have a problem as the documentation is very helpful. However, having a one to many relationship is proving a little difficult. Does this background information help? Thanks JDG On 5/16/07, Matt Benson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Jay, <uptodate> should be able to handle what you want to do, but we need a little more information regarding the derivation of your target files. In any event you'll probably end up using a composite mapper (if you're using the <mapper> element it should magically behave as a composite mapper simply by nesting multiple child mappers within it).
