I want to pass runtime values to a java class which i am calling from a ant script.
| Code: |
<project name="Deploy" default="deploybar">
<target name="deploybar" description="">
<java fork="true" failonerror="yes" classname="DeployBar" classpath="${ant}.bin"/>
</target>
</project> |
This java class takes values at runtime. I have the values for them in a environment specific properties file, I want to pass the properties file at runtime, could anyone guide me on how to attain this? |

Do a search. This has been discussed many times in here, along with a number of better ways of providing environment specific data.

| I know there is a better way, but i would like to try it this way. This java class has the mqsideploy utility in it and i would like to pass the env. specific broker name, EG.... etc. The broker name, EG.. are all stored in a .properties file which has to be passed at runtime and the script has to parse it and pass it to the java class as a runtime value. |

So you need to figure out how to pass data into a java runtime, such that your Java class can read it?
Or you need to figure out how to pass data into an ant script, such that your ant script can read it?
Neither of these have anything to do with Broker. |

I posted it here because i am trying to automate bar file deployment and the scripts and java classes are doing that for me. |

The point being that this forum is more committed to broker / MQ questions than specific ant questions and so you may get a better response in a dedicated ant / java forum
That aside, a very quick search for ant and java arguments led me here:
http://www.java-tips.org/other-api-tips/ant/how-to-use-java-task.html which should answer your question (assuming option 1 from Jeffs list). With a little bit more effort you could nail option 2 also.
Did you try searching before posting? |

From that site: "Use nested <arg> and <jvmarg> elements to specify arguments for the Java class and the forked VM respectively."
What more are you looking for? |
