[Xmltask-users] Help Needed On XML Tasks

[Adithya V.S.S <ad...@gm...>]

I'm a newbie to the XML Tasks and I appreciate the help that I am getting
from Brain, Thank you for the answers.

I am doing some example , Stuck at only one point . Request you to help me
out.. .


My build-configuration
===================
<buildset>
<builds testname="testing">
  <testname>Category1</testname>
  <build>development</build>
  <build>systemtest</build>
  <build>production</build>
</builds>
<builds testname="test">
  <testname>Category2</testname>
  <build>DEV</build>
  <build>TEST</build>
  <build>PROD</build>
</builds>
</buildset>

My build.xml file is like this -
---------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="java.net" default="main" basedir=".">
  <taskdef name="xmltask"
classname="com.oopsconsultancy.xmltask.ant.XmlTask">
 <classpath path="xmltask.classpath" />
</taskdef>

    <target name="main" depends="testprg"/>
    <property name="weblogic.home.cfgfile"
value="C:/bea/weblogic81/common/lib/workshopLogCfg.xml" />

  <target name="testprg">
                 <xmltask source="build-configuration.xml">
                    <call path="/buildset/builds/testname"
target="roottest">
                     <param name="name" path="text()" />
                         <param name="appenders"
path="/buildset/builds/build/text()" />
                          </call>

               <call path="/buildset/builds[@testname]/build"
target="compile-and-release">
          <param name="build" path="text()"/>
               </call>
          </xmltask>
           </target>



            <target name="roottest" >
             <echo>Building Category ${name}</echo>
             <echo>Category Name ${appenders}</echo>

           <echo>Appender ${appenders}</echo>
            <xmltask source="${weblogic.home.cfgfile}"
dest="${weblogic.home.cfgfile}" failWithoutMatch="true">

            <insert path="/log4j:configuration/root" position="after">
            <![CDATA[ <category name="${name}">
            <priority value="debug" />
            <appender-ref ref="${appenders}"
/>                                 //  Here I should get multiple
appenders.. for each build  in each builds node
            </category>
]]>                                                                   for
eg: My Category Nodes should contain these appenders..

</insert>

Category1                                                          Category2

<appender-ref ref="development"/>                       <appender-ref
ref="DEV"/>

</xmltask>
<appender-ref ref="systemtest"/>                      <appender-ref
ref="TEST"/>

</target>
<appender-ref ref="production"/>                         <appender-ref
ref="TEST"/>



        <target name="compile-and-release">
        <echo>Building ${build}</echo>
           <echo>${weblogic.home.cfgfile}</echo>

          <xmltask source="${weblogic.home.cfgfile}"
dest="${weblogic.home.cfgfile}" failWithoutMatch="true">

      <insert path="/log4j:configuration/root" position="after">
              <![CDATA[
          <appender name="${build}"
class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">
           <param name="File"   value="uan.log" />
           <param name="Append" value="true" />
           <param name="MaxFileSize" value="25000KB" />
           <param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="5"/>
           <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
           <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{DATE} %-5p %-15c{1}
[%t][%x]: %m%n"/>
           </layout>
          </appender>

        ]]>

          </insert>
 </xmltask>

  </target>

</project>


When I run this build.xml it writes the above insert data into
workshopLogCfg.xml, And when I see the xml file it has only one
appender <appender-ref
ref="PROD"/> ,
instead of three appenders as mentioned above for a builds node.
Can we manipulate this in XMLTask, also when I run the build .xml it creates
duplicate entries.. Is there any way to escape from writing the same data
into the xml on further runs.


any solution is greatly appreciated. ..
