What type of replacement? You can do a filter on strings like
@VERSION@, @DATE@, @FOO@, or whatever you want via filtersets and
mappers when you copy. For example, I have some configuration files.
They're called *.properties.template, and I replace the @xxx@ strings
with values from a deploy.properties file and remove the *.template
suffix. The filterset replaces the @xxx@ tokens with the correct
values while the mapper renames the file by removing the *.template
suffix:
<!-- Copy the configuration files that don't contain tokens -->
<copy todir="${local.jboss.home}/server/${jboss.instance}"
verbose="${copy.verbose.flag}">
<fileset dir="${jboss.install.home}/jbdev1">
<exclude name="**/*.template"/>
</fileset>
</copy>
<!-- Copy the configurable files and replace any tokens -->
<copy todir="${local.jboss.home}/server/${jboss.instance}"
overwrite="true"
verbose="${copy.verbose.flag}">
<fileset dir="${jboss.install.home}/jbdev1">
<include name="**/*.template"/>
</fileset>
<mapper type="glob"
from="*.template" to="*"/>
<filterset begintoken="@" endtoken="@">
<filter token="path_to_server_dir"
value="${local.jboss.home}/server/${jboss.instance}"/>
<filtersfile file="${deploy.properties.file}"/>
</filterset>
</copy>
Is this what you're looking for?
