ANT if condition

The target will be executed regardless of condition being true or false. Inside the target, I need to check the condition and act accordingly

Split that into  2 targets, that is the way I did it. I donot know of any other way.

The user won't know which target to call. The decision needs to be made based on the property file.

Try

<condition property="${websso}">
    <istrue value="${websso}"/>              
</condition>

Thanks for replying.
then where do I write the tasks if the condition is true.

if (true)
   do something
else
  do something else

should it be like this

<condition property="${websso}">
                 <istrue value="${websso}">
                       
                    </istrue>
                    <isfalse value="${websso}">
                          
                    </isfalse>
              </condition>
         

Yes, i think you should be able to do that if you need a false condition too

If you have not already got the solution, you can refer advanced topics section here

http://supportweb.cs.bham.ac.uk/docs/tutorials/docsystem/build/tutorials/ant/ant.html

I could have been wrong in my last comment. Try the following:

    <target name="check.websso">
 
	<condition property="is.websso">
 
	    <istrue value="${websso}"/>
 
	</condition>
 
	<antcall target="websso.is.true"/>
 
	<antcall target="websso.is.false"/>
 
    </target>
 
    <target name="websso.is.true" if="is.websso">
 
	<echo>websso == TRUE</echo>
 
    </target>
 
    <target name="websso.is.false" unless="is.websso">
 
	<echo>websso == FALSE</echo>
 
    </target>

Thanks a lot.

I did the following, but it always calls false even if the property is set to true

<target name="copyCustom" depends="makedir" description="Copy Custom " >  	        <copy todir="../${cvs.module.app}">
    <fileset dir="../${cvs.module.core}"></fileset>
 </copy>
 
   	     <condition property="is.websso">   	 
   	            <istrue value="${websso}"/>   	 
   	     </condition>
   	 
   	     <antcall target="websso.is.true"/>   	 
   	     <antcall target="websso.is.false"/>
   </target>
	
	<target name="websso.is.true" if="is.websso">
	    <echo>websso == TRUE</echo>
	    <jar jarfile="${cvs.module.lib}/webtop.jar" 
			   	           	  includesfile="../build/AuthenticationSchemes-websso.properties"
			   	           	  basedir="com/documentum/web/formext/session/AuthenticationSchemes.properties"
			   	           	  update="true"
	      /> 
	 </target>
	 
	 <target name="websso.is.false" unless="is.websso">
	     <echo>websso == FALSE</echo>
	 	 <jar jarfile="${cvs.module.lib}/webtop.jar" 
	 	 		   	  includesfile="../build/AuthenticationSchemes-no-websso.properties"
	 	   	     		   	  basedir="com/documentum/web/formext/session/AuthenticationSchemes.properties"
	 	   	     		   	  update="true"
	 	   	     		 /> 
	  </target>

It calls it, yes, but it doesn't do anything, otherwise a message would get printed

If it *is* getting printed, then there's something wrong ...

I get only

[echo] websso == FALSE

even when in the properties file it is mentioned

websso=true

in the properties file

So in the properties file, I have

websso=true

In ANT script I have

<target name="copyCustom" depends="makedir" description="Copy Custom " >
     <condition property="is.websso">         
           <istrue value="${websso}"/>         
     </condition>
          
     <antcall target="websso.is.true"/>         
     <antcall target="websso.is.false"/>
</target>
      
<target name="websso.is.true" if="is.websso">
    <echo>websso == TRUE</echo>
    <jar jarfile="${cvs.module.lib}/webtop.jar" includesfile="../build/AuthenticationSchemes-websso.properties"                                                         basedir="com/documentum/web/formext/session/AuthenticationSchemes.properties"
                      update="true"  />
</target>
      
<target name="websso.is.false" unless="is.websso">
     <echo>websso == FALSE</echo>
       <jar jarfile="${cvs.module.lib}/webtop.jar" includesfile="../build/AuthenticationSchemes-no-websso.properties"
               basedir="com/documentum/web/formext/session/AuthenticationSchemes.properties"
               update="true"  />
</target>


But the result, I always get as

makedir:
    [mkdir] Created dir: C:\cvs_repo\Documentum\webtop\bin
    [mkdir] Created dir: C:\cvs_repo\Documentum\webtop\dist

copyCustom:

websso.is.true:

websso.is.false:
     [echo] websso == FALSE

thanks a lot.

Instead of

<target name="websso.is.true" if="is.websso">

I needed

<target name="websso.is.true" if="${websso}">
