Hi Antoine,
thanks for the reply. Yes in the end that's what I did. I create a
${build.dir}/filtered directory where I copy the files I want to filter.
I just had hoped if the jar was supporting this, so I could avoid the copy.
Regards
Dimitris

Hello Dimitris,
you can change persistence.xml before letting the <jar/> task consume it
with the copy task as you mention.
Another approach is to build a standard jar without the concrete
properties of a deployment environment and to tweak the jar at
deployment time. Ant can update zip/jar/war/ear files easily.
On my project we are storing the environment dependent properties in a
LDAP tree (with one branch per environment inside the tree) and the
deployment script fills in the blanks in the property files and updates
the ear file, which is built initially without the environment dependent
property files. This makes the deployment process more agile and
responsive to changes in host names/port numbers/...

Antoine

Hi all,
is it possible to use a filter in the metainf task of jar task?
Currently my build file is like this:
<target name="domain-dist" description="Build the distribution jar"
depends="domain-test">
<jar destfile="${dist.prepare.dir}/${domain.artifact.name}"
basedir="${classes.dir}">
<patternset refid="domain.classes.pattern" />
<metainf dir="${etc.dir}/domain/META-INF" />
</jar>
</target>
In etc/domain/META-INF I have the persistence.xml file for my entity
beans and I would like to be able to pass the datasource name through a
filter (or a property?)
e.g. original file:
<jta-data-source>java:jdbc/@ds.name@</jta-data-source>
desired file:
<jta-data-source>java:jdbc/projectDS</jta-data-source>
Is this possible or I have to use <copy> task?
Thanks
