would help here.
Absolutely splendid. I thought it might be that simple.
One further question - I've looked deeper into the Cocoon code, and can see that we have a DOM node for which I want to replace properties for all attributes and text nodes. I've been assuming that I'll need to do that myself. Is there an Ant way to 'spider' a DOM node, replacing properties as it goes?
(You gotta ask!)
Many thanks for this.

In Cocoon we have an Ant task for patching our config files.
I'd like to extend this to be able to expand properties found in the patch files.
How can I, in a Task, expand properties within a String?
For example, if I have a string that says "${local.mounttable}", I want to replace it with the value of local.mounttable that has been taken from our property file.
Thanks for any help.
