/**
 * Loads property values from a valid XML file, generating the
 * property names from the file's element and attribute names.
 *
 * <p>Example:

* <pre> * <root-tag myattr="true"> * <inner-tag someattr="val">Text</inner-tag> * <a2><a3><a4>false</a4></a3></a2> * <x>x1</x> * <x>x2</x> * </root-tag> *</pre> * * <p>this generates the following properties:

* * <pre> * root-tag(myattr)=true * root-tag.inner-tag=Text * root-tag.inner-tag(someattr)=val * root-tag.a2.a3.a4=false * root-tag.x=x1,x2 * </pre> * * <p>The collapseAttributes property of this task can be set * to true (the default is false) which will instead result in the * following properties (note the difference in names of properties * corresponding to XML attributes):</p> * * <pre> * root-tag.myattr=true * root-tag.inner-tag=Text * root-tag.inner-tag.someattr=val * root-tag.a2.a3.a4=false * root-tag.x=x1,x2 * </pre> * * <p>Optionally, to more closely mirror the abilities of the Property * task, a selected set of attributes can be treated specially. To * enable this behavior, the "semanticAttributes" property of this task * must be set to true (it defaults to false). If this attribute is * specified, the following attributes take on special meaning * (setting this to true implicitly sets collapseAttributes to true as * well):</p> * * <ul> * <li>value: Identifies a text value for a property. * <li>location: Identifies a file location for a property. * <li>id: Sets an id for a property * <li>refid: Sets a property to the value of another property * based upon the provided id</li> * <li>pathid: Defines a path rather than a property with * the given id.</li> * </ul> * * <p>For example, with keepRoot = false, the following properties file:

* * <pre> * <root-tag> * <build> * <build folder="build"> * <classes id="build.classes" location="${build.folder}/classes"/> * <reference refid="build.classes"/> * </build> * <compile> * <classpath pathid="compile.classpath"> * <pathelement location="${build.classes}"/> * </classpath> * </compile> * <run-time> * <jars>*.jar</jars> * <classpath pathid="run-time.classpath"> * <path refid="compile.classpath"/> * <pathelement path="${run-time.jars}"/> * </classpath> * </run-time> * </root-tag> * </pre> * * <p>is equivalent to the following entries in a build file:

* * <pre> * <property name="build" location="build"/> * <property name="build.classes" location="${build.location}/classes"/> * <property name="build.reference" refid="build.classes"/> * * <property name="run-time.jars" value="*.jar/> * * <classpath id="compile.classpath"> * <pathelement location="${build.classes}"/> * </classpath> * * <classpath id="run-time.classpath"> * <path refid="compile.classpath"/> * <pathelement path="${run-time.jars}"/> * </classpath> * </pre> * * <p> This task requires the following attributes:

* * <ul> * <li>file: The name of the file to load. * </ul> * * <p>This task supports the following attributes:

* * <ul> * <li>prefix: Optionally specify a prefix applied to * all properties loaded. Defaults to an empty string.</li> * <li>keepRoot: Indicate whether the root xml element * is kept as part of property name. Defaults to true.</li> * <li>validate: Indicate whether the xml file is validated. * Defaults to false.</li> * <li>collapseAttributes: Indicate whether attributes are * stored in property names with parens or with period * delimiters. Defaults to false, meaning properties * are stored with parens (i.e., foo(attr)).</li> * <li>semanticAttributes: Indicate whether attributes * named "location", "value", "refid" and "path" * are interpreted as ant properties. Defaults * to false.</li> * <li>rootDirectory: Indicate the directory to use * as the root directory for resolving location * properties. Defaults to the directory * of the project using the task.</li> * <li>includeSemanticAttribute: Indicate whether to include * the semantic attribute ("location" or "value") as * part of the property name. Defaults to false.</li> * </ul> * * @ant.task name="xmlproperty" category="xml" */ public class XmlProperty extends org.apache.tools.ant.Task { private Resource src; private String prefix = ""; private boolean keepRoot = true; private boolean validate = false; private boolean collapseAttributes = false; private boolean semanticAttributes = false; private boolean includeSemanticAttribute = false; private File rootDirectory = null; private Hashtable addedAttributes = new Hashtable(); private XMLCatalog xmlCatalog = new XMLCatalog(); private static final String ID = "id"; private static final String REF_ID = "refid"; private static final String LOCATION = "location"; private static final String VALUE = "value"; private static final String PATH = "path"; private static final String PATHID = "pathid"; private static final String[] ATTRIBUTES = new String[] { ID, REF_ID, LOCATION, VALUE, PATH, PATHID }; private static final FileUtils FILE_UTILS = FileUtils.getFileUtils(); /** * Constructor. */ public XmlProperty() { super(); } /** * Initializes the task. */ public void init() { super.init(); xmlCatalog.setProject(getProject()); } /** * @return the xmlCatalog as the entityresolver. */ protected EntityResolver getEntityResolver() { return xmlCatalog; } /** * Run the task. * @throws BuildException The exception raised during task execution. * @todo validate the source file is valid before opening, print a better error message * @todo add a verbose level log message listing the name of the file being loaded */ public void execute() throws BuildException { Resource r = getResource(); if (r == null) { String msg = "XmlProperty task requires a source resource"; throw new BuildException(msg); } try { log("Loading " + src, Project.MSG_VERBOSE); if (r.isExists()) { DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(); factory.setValidating(validate); factory.setNamespaceAware(false); DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder(); builder.setEntityResolver(getEntityResolver()); Document document = null; if (src instanceof FileResource) { document = builder.parse(((FileResource) src).getFile()); } else { document = builder.parse(src.getInputStream()); } Element topElement = document.getDocumentElement(); // Keep a hashtable of attributes added by this task. // This task is allow to override its own properties // but not other properties.
