Hello,
Again: The behaviour of ANT is ok, because you need this very often!
If you have no access at all to ant1.xml and this script is holy, so that no
one is allowed to change it and you need to call target t1, then there is no
way to change foo for target t2.
But...
You import ant1.xml, therefore you have power over ant1.xml.
E.g. you can change ant1.xml before you import it or:
What you could do is:
1.Instead of importing t1 you can use <ant> to call the target t2 directly.
Best solution is:
Talk to the owner of ant1.xml and ask him to change ant1.xml in the following
way:
=== ant1.xml ===
<target name="t1">
... do something
<property name="paramproperty" value"bar"
<property name="foovalue" value"${paramproperty}"
<antcall target="t2">
<param name="foo" value="${paramproperty}" />
</antcall>
... do something
</target>
<target name="t2">
... do something
</target>
=== ant1.xml ===
This will not change the behaviour of ant1.xml, except someone changes
${paramproperty}
And exactly this is, what you will do:
=== ant2.xml ===
<import file="ant1.xml" />
<target name="main">
<antcall target="t1">
<param name="paramproperty" value="myvalue" />
</antcall>
</target>
=== ant2.xml ===
This will do the trick...

Betreff: Re: param hierarchy inverse to property hierarchy
Hi,
i expected that i will be missunderstood :(. So again:
=== ant1.xml ===
<target name="t1">
... do something
<antcall target="t2">
<param name="foo" value="bar" />
</antcall>
... do something
</target>
<target name="t2">
... do something
</target>
=== ant1.xml ===
=== ant2.xml ===
<import file="ant1.xml" />
<target name="main">
<antcall target="t1">
<param name="foo" value="myvalue" />
</antcall>
</target>
=== ant2.xml ===
Suppose i have no write access to ant1.xml but i have to use it.
Furthermore i have to call the target "t1" (and not "t2" directly where passing
the parameter would work) because all the other logic of "t1"
should be used also. This way to pass "myvalue" as a value of "foo" doesnt
work. And i didnt found a way else.
That's why in my opinion the behaviour of ant should be changed. Or do has
somebody a solution for this problem?
Kind Regards
Dieter König
