Not sure that accomplishes what I need to do. The problem I wish to solve is this:

I have a property that equates to this:

<property name="jdbc.jar" value="C:\Documents and Settings\jweber\Desktop\db2_test\db2jcc.jar,C:\Documents and Settings\jweber\Desktop\db2_test\db2jcc_license_cu.jar"/>

The value of this property is variable.

I then have a couple of tasks that perform the following:

<!-- use filelist to copy the files to a temp dir so we can build a fileset -->
     <copy toDir=".tmp_cp" overwrite="true"  failonerror="false">
        <filelist files="${jdbc.jar}" />
        <flattenmapper/>
     </copy>

   <!-- create a referencable path object to be used in sql task -->
     <path id="sql.cp">
        <fileset dir=".tmp_cp"/>
     </path>*
*
This all works great (although not so straight forward), until there is a space in one of the paths in jdbc.jar property. If you have another approach I'd be willing to try but I dont think your suggest will work for this.

Have you considered using a macrodef and elements?

Maybe something like:

<macrodef name="my-macro">
  <attribute name="id"/>
   <element name="includes"/>
     <sequential>
      <path id="@{id}">
         <includes/>
      </path>
   </sequential>
</macrodef>

Then you can supply whatever you want in <includes> as long as it adheres to <path> allowances....

Hi All,

I have created dozen of custom tasks before, but find myself struggling with this one. I wish to create a task that does the following:

1. Accepts a file attribute to represent the absolute path of a file contains comma separated absolute paths. a. this file name will be read in, parsed and each file found will be added to a fileset object, which in term is added to a resources object.
2.  Accepts a id property
   a.  this id will be the id of the resource created in step 1a.

So essentially I want...

   <csvtofileset file="csv.file.name" id="some.id.name">

I am unclear on how to add the fileset i create in my code to the project. Additionally I am unsure of how to assign this an 'id' that I can reference elsewhere. Basically what I want to be able to do is create a collection of files on the fly which I can reference on the fly. Essentially in the following snippet, the resources element would be replaced by my new task element

<project name="test" basedir="." default="test">

  <!-- old -->
   <resources id="fsd">
<fileset file="c:\temp\db2_test\db2jcc.jar" /> <fileset file="c:\temp\db2_test\db2jcc_license_cu.jar" /> </resources>
   <!-- old -->

   <!-- new -->
          <csvtofileset file="csv.file.name" id="fsd">
   <!-- new -->

  <target name="test">
         <copy toDir="c:\temp\ failonerror="true">
            <resources refid="fsd"/>
         </copy>
  </target>
</project>


Any help at all would be appreciated.
