Hi,
Hopefully someone can help me or point me in the right direction here.
I have a custom Ant task which I want to use to invoke another command
which isn't known at compilation time. It uses an approach very similar
to Ant itself, in that it builds the command from RuntimeConfigurables/
UnknownElements. This all works but for running commands which have a
prefix (such as my other custom commands).
I want to be able to translate the prefix to a namespace uri that I can
make the correct UnkownElement.setNamespace( uri ) call.
For clarity, this is a simplified form of what I want to do. (I realize
the example doesn't make a great deal of practical sense in this form;
this is just for illustrative purposes, please humor me :) ).
<project name="example"
xmlns:myprefix="http://some.uri";
>
<taskdef resource="some/path/task.properties"
uri="http://some.uri";
classpath="mylib.jar"
/> <!-- Supplying 'mytaskname' and 'taskrunner' -->
<!-- Regular execution; example -->
<myprefix:mytaskname ... />
<!-- Task runner; what I want to do -->
<myprefix:taskrunner>
<atask name="myprefix:mytaskname">
...
</atask>
</myprefix:taskrunner>
</project>
Taskrunner is what I'm trying to get working, so it executes the task
just as Ant would when parsing the xml form above it. I am parsing the
'myprefix' from the task name (atask's name attribute), but I don't
know how to get the namespace 'http://some.uri' programmatically at
this point.
Is there a way to access the namespace mappings defined in the build
script that invokes taskrunner?
(I'm currently using Ant 1.7.0)
Thanks in advance.
