Hi,Hopefully someone can help me or point me in the right direction here. I have a custom Ant task which I want to use to invoke another command which isn't known at compilation time. It uses an approach very similar to Ant itself, in that it builds the command from RuntimeConfigurables/ UnknownElements. This all works but for running commands which have a prefix (such as my other custom commands). I want to be able to translate the prefix to a namespace uri that I can make the correct UnkownElement.setNamespace( uri ) call. For clarity, this is a simplified form of what I want to do. (I realize the example doesn't make a great deal of practical sense in this form; this is just for illustrative purposes, please humor me :) ). <project name="example" xmlns:myprefix="http://some.uri"; > <taskdef resource="some/path/task.properties" uri="http://some.uri"; classpath="mylib.jar" /> <!-- Supplying 'mytaskname' and 'taskrunner' --><!-- Regular execution; example --><myprefix:mytaskname ... /><!-- Task runner; what I want to do --><myprefix:taskrunner> <atask name="myprefix:mytaskname"> ... </atask> </myprefix:taskrunner> </project> Taskrunner is what I'm trying to get working, so it executes the task just as Ant would when parsing the xml form above it. I am parsing the 'myprefix' from the task name (atask's name attribute), but I don't know how to get the namespace 'http://some.uri' programmatically at this point.
There's nothing in ant to do this yet, though you could probably write a task (which we would gladly accept, esp if it came with docs and tests :),
