for ==> <echo message="${${webmodule.name}.dir}"/>
you can use ant-contrib's <propertycopy>:
<propertycopy name="webmodule.dir" from="${webmodule.name}.dir" />
you should supply a name for the new property that makes sense to you.
Thanks to Erik and an example posted earlier ;-)

Subject: property value as property name
Hi,
is it possible to use a properties value as a property name?
I'd like to specify a number of WAR-Directories in a list and read
properties for each of them from a properties file und use <foreach> to
build them.
<target name="war">
<taskdef name="foreach"
classname="net.sf.antcontrib.logic.ForEach"/>
<foreach list="${webmodule.list}" target="testForEach"
param="webmodule.name" inheritAll="true"/>
</target>
<target name="testForEach">
<echo message="${webmodule.name}"/>
==> <echo message="${${webmodule.name}.dir}"/>
</target>
build.properties:
webmodule.list = App1, App2
App1.dir = abc
App1.vhost = vhost1
App2.dir = xyz
App2.vhost = vhost2
Is there a better/other way to achieve what I need to do?
