Duh. I should have known that.
Going on, however, I seem to be doing something wrong when I use
"antCall" in the forEach loop to call a target, or something at a more
basic level. The following is an excerpt showing the forEach loop that
calls the target, and the target after it.
<j:forEach items="${springContexts.iterator()}"
var="springContext">
<echo message="springContext[${springContext}]"/>
<ant:antCall target="processSpringContext" inheritAll="true">
<param name="file" value="${springContext}"/>
</ant:antCall>
</j:forEach>
<ant:target name="processSpringContext">
<echo message="Processing the Spring context: ${file}"/>
</ant:target>
When I call this, the first "echo" shows the name of the first file
(there's only file in the set), but the rest of the output is odd
(somewhat elided):
--------------
[echo] springContext[...\MyServiceContext.xml]
<antCall inheritAll="true" target="processSpringContext"><param
value="...\MyServiceContext.xml" name="file"></param></antCall><target
name="processSpringContext"> [echo] Processing the Spring context:
</target>castor:prepare-filesystem:
--------------
It puts the "antCall" code from maven.xml into the output, showing the
substitution in the "value" attribute, but when it executes the "echo"
in the target, it prints blank for the parameter value.
