Hi
Disclaimer: this tip assumes that you're using ant 1.7
The xsl task can pass to the xsl the name of the file being processed
(see attributes filedirparameter and filenameparameter)
You can then:
in ant:
- use a fileset to let the xsl task process all of the changes.xml;
- use filedirparameter and/or filenameparameter to let your xsl know
the name of the file being processed;
- pass the name of the output directory as a parameter to the xsl
in xsl:
- derive the name of the output file from the name of the input file
- use xsl extension to redirect the output to a different file
The only downside to this method is that the xsl task will create an
empty output file, which you can delete from ant.
This is the outline of an answer ;-)

Hi,
i have a problem which I don't know if I can solve elegantly with ant.
The problem: I'd like to use the xslt task to transform these inputs
into
the following outputs;
inputs:
v10/changes.xml
v11/changes.xml
v12/changes.xml
outputs:
v10/changes.out
v11/changes.out
v12/changes.out
To clarify: the inputs lie in subdirectories. I would like the xslt/
ant to
send the outputs to "corresponding subdirectories".
In reviewing the xslt docs, it looks like I can only send the xslt
output to
one directory (destdir attribute).
I've looked at using 'subant', but this gets pretty complex and hard
to
follow.
any suggestions?
thanks,
bill
