WAR file - preserve not working as expected

I have an issue where I want to include images into a war file, but overwrite some of the existing images in a second pass. I've tried copying the baseline images into the war in one war task and then overwrite the images in a second war task. If I choose duplicate="add" it does not replace the i

How to get the filename of a dirset - not the full path?

Now that I have a list of directories, I would like to get the directory NAME rather than the full path - I am trying to use the name to create directories elsewhere and copy files from a few different places. Basically I want something that returns me the name after the last slash - but it looks

Re: Repeating a task for a list of directories

I thought I would give some feedback, it seems that I made two mistakes... 1) I typed the incorrect version number, so this was why it could not find the explicitly named jar file. 2) even after fixing the jar name this syntax did not work... (yes I did correct the jar name by this

Re: Repeating a task for a list of directories

Thanks for the information, I believe I need ant-contribs foreach such that I can do some processing for each subdirectory. I've downloaded the jar file and would prefer not to copy it directly into Ant libs folder, such that the next person to do a svn update can run with it without having to thi

Repeating a task for a list of directories

Project 'B' to depend on Project 'A' ant build?

I have two separate projects and currently Project B uses files from project A using relative paths, but if I update project A and forget to build it, project B could fail. The question is, can Ant have a dependency on another ant script? (I.e. not 'import'ing, but some form of project dependenc

Checking whether a property is set

I can check whether a file exists and set a property, but can I check whether a property exists and set a property based on whether it exists? I don't mind how this is checked, I just need to make sure that my JUnit test stops if the property isn't set. Cheers, Rob. -

Hi Steve, Thanks for the suggestions, as it turns out I should have mentioned that I am running Vista - it turned out to be permission problems in the webapps directory (doh!), one for the book?! ;-) Incidentally, tell me more about your book - I often find that this Ant 'the definitive guide' do

deploy task to Tomcat partially works

Hi All, I have written my first Ant script from scratch, using google and the O'reilly definitive guide. I'm mostly happy with what I have ended up with, however when I try to use the Tomcat DeployTask my application is not deployed as expected. If I manually copy my war file to the webapps dire
