Thans Hans, that's very, very close to what I want to do. I guess what I really want is a way to filter files before they're added to an artifact (in this case the war). For example I need to replace a context-param in my web.xml based on the environment I'll be deploying to (dev, qa, prod, etc). I could copy out that new file to a different location and modify the war task. If this is the only way to do it, okay cool. However, filtering while building an archive would be awesome. It doesn't look like ant this though, and gradle may not either (as it's using the ant tasks for this I believe). > > Regards, > Levi > > On Wed, Nov 4, 2009 at 7:46 AM, Jason Porter <[email protected]> > wrote: >> >> In a war I've got I'd like to filter a file that ultimately ends up in >> the WEB-INF directory (chances are I'll just put it here under >> webapp/WEB-INF anyway), but I want to replace some tokens in it >> (preferably with items that exist in a properties file).
