特点

 大小写敏感;

 不可改变,先到先得,谁先设定,之后的都不能改变。

怎样设置

1 、设置 name 和 value 属性值,比如: <property name="srcdir" value="${basedir}/src"/>

2 、 设置 name 和 refid 属性值,比如: <property name="srcpath" refid="dao.compile.classpath"/> ,其中dao.compile.classpath 在别的地方定义。

3 、设置 name 和 location 属性值,比如: <property name="srcdir" location="src"/> ,即将 srcdir 的值设     置为:当前项目根目录的 /src 目录。

4 、设置 file 属性值,比如: <property file="build.properties"/> , 导入 build.properties 属性文件中的属性值

5 、设置 resource 属性值,比如: <propety resource="build.properties"/>, 导入 build.properties 属性文件中的属性值

6 、设置 url 属性值,比如: <property url="http://www.blogjava.net/wiflish/build.properties"/>, 导入http://www.blogjava.net/wiflish/build.properties 属性文件中的属性值。

7 、设置环境变量,比如: <property environment="env"/> ,设置系统的环境变量为前缀 env.

     <property name="tomcat.home" value="${env.CATALINA_HOME}"/> 将系统的 tomcat 安装目录设置到     tomcat.home 属性中。

用法

${key_name},如:${os.name},它将得到当前操作系统的名称。

需注意

1. 内置属性basedir

 -- 不需要定义就可以直接使用,${basedir},得到当前工程的绝对路径

 -- 当在<project>标签的basedir属性中指定basedir时,之后工程中出现的所有相对路径都是相对于这个basedir所指向的路径,且${basedir}的值也将变为<project>标签中的basedir属性所指定的值。

 

2. property的不变性在使用<available><ant><antcall>时会被打破

 

3. 可以在命令行通过-DpropertyName=propertyValue的方式指定property,注意,-D于propertyName之间没有空格,使用这种方式指定的属性最先被赋值,它是在执行build文件之前就已经赋值了的。

 

Q&A

How can I do something like  ​​<property name="prop" value="${${anotherprop}}"/>​​   (double expanding the property)?

Without any external help you can not.

With <script/>, which needs external libraries, you can do

 




Xml代码  ​ant property总结_xml


  1. <script language="javascript">  
  2.     propname = project.getProperty("anotherprop");  
  3.     project.setNewProperty("prop", propname);  
  4. </script>  


 

With AntContrib (external task library) you can do ​​<propertycopy name="prop" from="${anotherprop}"/>​​ .

With Ant 1.6 you can simulate the AntContribs <propertycopy> and avoid the need of an external library:

 




Xml代码  ​ant property总结_xml


  1. <macrodef name="propertycopy">  
  2.   <attribute name="name"/>  
  3.   <attribute name="from"/>  
  4.   <sequential>  
  5.     <property name="@{name}" value="${@{from}}"/>  
  6.   </sequential>  
  7. </macrodef>   


 

With the 'props' antlib (external, but also from Ant) you could do the dereferencing with  ​​${${anotherprop}​​   - not just in the property task - instead everywhere in your buildfile (after registering the required property helper).

 




Xml代码  ​ant property总结_xml


  1. <propertyhelper>  
  2.   <props:nested />  
  3. </propertyhelper>  
  4. <property name="foo" value="foo.value" />  
  5. <property name="var" value="foo" />  
  6. <echo> ${${var}} = foo.value </echo>   


 

With  ​​Flaka​​   (external Ant Plugin) you could do the dereferencing with  ​​#{${anotherprop}}​​   - not just in flaka tasks, but all tasks after installing flaka's property handler.

 




Xml代码  ​ant property总结_xml


  1. <project xmlns:fl="antlib:it.haefelinger.flaka">  
  2.   <fl:install-property-handler/>  
  3.   <property name="foo" value="foo.value"/>  
  4.   <property name="var" value="foo" />  
  5.   <property name="buildtype" value="test"/>  
  6.   <property name="appserv_test" value="//testserver"/>  
  7.   <echo>  
  8.     #{${var}} = foo.value  
  9.     <!-- nested property -->  
  10.     #{appserv_${buildtype}}  
  11.   </echo>  
  12. </project>
