> This is a general question, not specific to the 'sql' task. Basically I'm looking for suggestions on the easiest way to implement an task or target error handler. In other words, I have a couple of targets that invoke an 'exec' task. If a particular task fails, I may need to do some clean-up before exiting the build script. > > One solution is to write a task subclass that overrides the 'execute()' method, catches 'BuildException', calls the specified error handler and then rethrows the exception. Not too complicated but I'm sure someone out there has come up with a technique to handle this situation within the build script itself. Perhaps a clever combination of dependencies and property setting. If so, I'd like to hear about it. > There is some discourse on whether (and how) to support a try/catch construct in ant. In the meantime. the ant-contrib project on sourceforge has such a task you can d/l and use in your own project. -steve -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
