Hi,
I've tried everything I can think of to get this to work, but so far
everything has failed. I am writing a scriptdef using Java as the
language, but I can't find how to access any of the predefined beans
like attributes and elements. This much works:
<project name="javaScriptingTest" default="script.test">
<scriptdef name="javatest" manager="javax" language="java">
<attribute name="teststring"/>
<![CDATA[
import org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.*;
class javatest
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Number of args: "+args.length);
//System.out.println(attributes.toString());
//System.out.println(elements.toString());
//System.out.println("The list is: "+
attributes.get("teststring").toString());
System.out.println("Hello world!");
}
}
]]>
</scriptdef>
<target name="script.test">
<javatest teststring="Success!!! Can you believe it???"/>
</target>
</project>
The command-line I am using (on WinXP) is
> ant -lib C:\work\lib\java-script-engine\ -f mini-build.xml
(java-script-engine holds the java-engine.jar from the JSR 223 home page
at java.sun.com).
When I run it as I have things above, it works. When I uncomment any of
the printlns shown, I get (e.g.):
script.test:
[javatest] mfm:///$unnamed.java:9: cannot find symbol
[javatest] symbol : variable attributes
[javatest] location: class javatest
I realize that println of attributes wouldn't give anything really
meaningful, but it would prove the object exists. How can we access
those beans when Java is the script language? Am I missing an import,
or is there something else that needs to happen?
Thanks,
Mark H. Bickford
