The ant task calls the default target of the project being called if you
haven't declared a target in the ant task (that's probably why deploy target is
running).
If the targets are static you can do this:
<if>
<equals arg1="${product}" arg2="abcd"/>
<then>
<echo message="Build for the product abcd"/>
<ant antfile="build/esrst/build_abcd.xml" inheritAll="true" >
<target>javabuild</target>
<target>deploy</target>
</ant>
</then>
<else>
<echo message="Build for the product xyz"/>
<echo message="Build for the product xyz" />
<ant antfile="build/ccp/build_xyz.xml" inheritAll="true" >
<target>javabuild</target>
<target>deploy</target>
</ant>
</else>
</if>
It's a bit more tricky if the targets are dynamic, i.e. can change in each
invocation; because there are multiple targets.
In this case you could declare a wrapper target that invoked both (a bit messy
if you have many possible target combinations) and pass the name of this target
as a property on the cmd line and use that property in a single target
attribute.
<if>
<equals arg1="${product}" arg2="abcd"/>
<then>
<echo message="Build for the product abcd"/>
<ant antfile="build/esrst/build_abcd.xml" inheritAll="true"
target="${BUILD_TARGET}" />
</then>
<else>
<echo message="Build for the product xyz"/>
<echo message="Build for the product xyz" />
<ant antfile="build/ccp/build_xyz.xml" inheritAll="true"
target="${BUILD_TARGET}" />
</else>
</if>
Then invoke this using
ant -Dproduct=abcd -DBUILD_TARGET=build_and_deploy

Subject: Passing multiple targets from one build.xml to another build.xml
Hi All,
In my topmost build.xml Iam doing below
<if>
<equals arg1="${product}" arg2="abcd"/>
<then>
<echo message="Build for the product abcd"/>
<ant antfile="build/esrst/build_abcd.xml" inheritAll="true" >
</ant>
</then>
<else>
<echo message="Build for the product xyz"/>
<echo message="Build for the product xyz" />
<ant antfile="build/ccp/build_xyz.xml" inheritAll="true" >
</ant>
</else>
</if>
Now I am invoking ant as below
ant -Dproduct=abcd javabuild deploy
It is executing build_abcd.xml but it only does 'deploy' its not calling
the first target that is 'javabuild'.
So my question is how can I pass javabuild and deploy to build_abcd.xml or
build_xyz.xml. can someone pleas help me out
thanks
Swayam
