Yep, I expect that the XPathObjectNavigator needs a good deal of work before we can use it.
See this message for my ideas of what needs to be done. http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3707522&forum_id=32775 Plus I'm sure there are many bugs that needs to be fixed and unit test that need to be written. I'm hoping to spend a day or two next week getting things into shape, and hopefully after that creating a new sf.net project for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin Aliger" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Ian MacLean" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Matthew Mastracci" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Scott Hernandez" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2004 6:41 AM Subject: Re: [nant-dev] Re: Inter-Task XML Communication (WAS: new xml type) > Hi all, > > I successfully include XPathObjectNavigator from Bamboo.Prevalence. > > Script like this: > > <exec program="foo.exe" commandline="1 2 3" failonerror="false"> > <result taskoutput="/ExecTask/ResultCode" property="resultcode"/> > </exec> > <echo message="${resultcode}"/> > > now correctly writes: > [exec] foo.exe 1 2 3 > E:\src\extern\nant\test2\test.build(21,3): External Program Failed: foo.exe > (return code was 2) > [echo] 2 > > What is not so nice is: > > 1/ Bamboo makes object names from hierarichy based on their names.

It is meant just to test this approach. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
