creating dynamic applications using ant framework

Question

I'm having some challenges while trying to develop JS applications with Ant.

I have a directory named src and each subdirectory inside it is considered a "mini-app". When I iterate through each subdirectory using subant, I'm struggling to get the name of the subdirectory relative to src (without the full path). I tried using
```
<property name="app" location="." />
```
, but it displays the complete path like C:\etc\etc\src\miniapp instead of just miniapp
There is an <apply> task that runs on all JavaScript template files. A rhino script pre-compiles template strings into template functions. I'm using outputproperty to capture print(...), but the property only holds the output of the last template file when I try to use it after the apply task completes. This is the entire task:
```
<target name="compile-jst">
    <apply dir="build" executable="java" outputproperty="templates">
        <fileset dir="src" includes="**/*.jst" />
        <arg line="-jar rhino.jar compile-jst.js" />
        <srcfile />
    </apply>
</target>
```

Thank you.

Update resolved the first issue:

<basename file="${basedir}" property="app" />

Still struggling with concatenating <apply> output.

Answer №1

If you want to extract just the name of a file or directory without its full path, you can utilize the <basename> command.

When combining the results of executing <apply> on various files, remember to include append=true to ensure proper concatenation.
