I am in the process of applying ant to some simple web maintenance. The interesting part is that the source is actually a combination of html / php / MySql / text files, whereas the destination is strictly html. I am doing this to avoid duplication in my production environment, and also because the server where I am hosting the information only supports html.
So, the basic process is to iterate over all the php pages (which might access a db or resource file to generate its contents) and create the appropriate html pages. Next, the link structure has to be modified to make sure all .php are converted to .html. Finally, the code should be uploaded to the server via ftp. andrew f ps. But I think covering the basics about using plain old java / junit / javadoc tasks is equally fascinating. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kueser, Joe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2002 9:07 AM Subject: Recommendations for Ant talk? > I have been asked to give a presentation to a local Java Users' Group.
