Hi gilbert, Thanks for your replies.
This is what i am trying to acheive from within an Ant script: Hit a URL say http://host/environment?name=test ,from which a get a response a containing key-value pairs containing data about the environment.(could this be done without writing the key-value data to a properties file by just reading response with Ant?) Next step is to set the key value pairs obtained as system env variable key=env variable name and value=env variable value so that next time when i run a command for ex: say wssmoke which needs these variables would pick them up from environments variables rather than passing explicting to the command as parameters.
