[staf-users] Calling Directly Via Ant?

[Tennis S. <ten...@ya...>]

Hi,

I have inherited lots of legacy ant scripts which make staf/stax calls like
this:

    <property name="CommandRun" value="local STAX EXECUTE FILE
${qa.dir}${sep}${staxscript.file} MACHINE local FUNCTION main ARGS &quot;\
    './TestSuite/${clientDir}/${propFileName}.properties'&quot; JOBNAME
&quot;${propFileName}&quot; WAIT ${test.timeout}  CLEARLOGS
${clear.stax.log}"/>
    <echo message="COMMAND RUN: ${CommandRun}"/>
    <stopwatch name="test.timer" action="start"/>
    <exec executable="staf.exe" resultproperty="result.out"><arg
line="${CommandRun}"/></exec>


It seems to make staf/stax much slower.  Would test execution be any faster
if refactored to use the ant interface (STAFAnt.jar)? Would that be a good
idea, or is the above code the most efficient way to start staf/stax tests
from within ant?
