public class AnakiaTask
extends org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.MatchingTask

The purpose of this Ant Task is to allow you to use Velocity as an XML transformation tool like XSLT is. So, instead of using XSLT, you will be able to use this class instead to do your transformations. It works very similar in concept to Ant's <style> task.

You can find more documentation about this class on the Velocity Website.

Constructor Detail

AnakiaTask

public AnakiaTask()
Constructor creates the SAXBuilder.

Method Detail

setBasedir

public void setBasedir(File dir)
Set the base directory.

Parameters:
dir -

setDestdir

public void setDestdir(File dir)
Set the destination directory into which the VSL result files should be copied to

Parameters:
dir - the name of the destination directory

setExtension

public void setExtension(String extension)
Allow people to set the default output file extension

Parameters:
extension -

setStyle

public void setStyle(String style)
Allow people to set the path to the .vsl file

Parameters:
style -

setProjectFile

public void setProjectFile(String projectAttribute)
Allow people to set the path to the project.xml file

Parameters:
projectAttribute -

setTemplatePath

public void setTemplatePath(File templatePath)
Set the path to the templates. The way it works is this: If you have a Velocity.properties file defined, this method will override whatever is set in the Velocity.properties file. This allows one to not have to define a Velocity.properties file, therefore using Velocity's defaults only.

Parameters:
templatePath -

setVelocityPropertiesFile

public void setVelocityPropertiesFile(File velocityPropertiesFile)
Allow people to set the path to the velocity.properties file This file is found relative to the path where the JVM was run. For example, if build.sh was executed in the ./build directory, then the path would be relative to this directory. This is optional based on the setting of setTemplatePath().

Parameters:
velocityPropertiesFile -

setLastModifiedCheck

public void setLastModifiedCheck(String lastmod)
Turn on/off last modified checking. by default, it is on.

Parameters:
lastmod -

execute

public void execute()
             throws org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException
Main body of the application

Overrides:
execute in class org.apache.tools.ant.Task
Throws:
org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException

createContext

public AnakiaTask.Context createContext()
Create a new context.

Returns:
A new context.
