RE: [Cruisecontrol-user] RE: CruiseControl JMX Properties

[Jeffrey F. <jt...@ag...>]

I think CC already does what you want.  It will pass along to Ant a =
property
named "label" that is the current value of the CC label.

http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/main/configxml.html#buildproperties

So in your Ant script you can get the value by using ${label}.

        My company wants to create an subversion snapshot each time we =
do a
CruiseControl build.  By doing this, we have naming conventions that =
will
rely on the CruiseControl build label and I need to get the =
CruiseControl
build label so that when I do an "svn copy", I can use the build label =
in
the directory name of the "svn copy".  For example, if the current build
label is "build123", my "svn copy" would create a directory called
"cipPROJECTNAME.build123" in the branches directory of my svn =
repository.  I
cannot do this if I cannot get the current build label from =
CruiseControl.
I have a few ideas on how to do this.  My first ideas was to use JMX to =
get
the build label but MX4J isn't version compatible and I don't know what
version of MX4J CC-2.1.6 uses.  I think it's 1.1.1 but no matter what
version of MX4J I use, I get an illegal class version error for =
ObjectName.
I'm working with MX4J people right now to resolve this but even they say =
it
doesn't make any sense.  My next idea was to have a boostrapper for
CruiseControl to write the current CruiseControl JMX properties to a
properties file and have the build.xml import that.  That is a good =
idea,
which I might use, but right now, CruiseControl doesn't support a
bootstrapper for Execute like it does for the publishers.  I can create =
one
but I'm hoping the first option will pan out.  Sorry if this is
lengthy...just been trying to get this to work for 3 days now and I've =
made
no progress.  Got any ideas?  Take care, Jeremy

I'm sorry, I'm not quite clear what you hope to make happen.=20
You want to use the CC build label in your ant build?=20
You want to set it the CC build label from another tool?=20
Is this something where a custom label incrementer would do the job?  =
Rather

than pushing the value into CC via jmx the incrementer could go fetch =
the=20
the new value before attempting to build.=20

    Anyone?  I need to get the current build label from CC using an =
external

application so that ant can use this.  Thanks, Jeremy=20

            I need to be able to get to the JMX properties and modify =

I want to do this the "CruiseControl" way so that I don't screw anything =

Can anyone give me their suggestions?  Thanks, Jeremy=20
