Hi!

  We have some of these entries in our build.xml files:

<if>
<isset property="Model.DBPassword" />
<then>
<propertyfile file="${dest.dir}/${project.name}.woa/Contents/ Resources/Properties">
<entry key="Model.DBPassword" operation="=" value="$ {Model.DBPassword}"/>
</propertyfile>
</then>
</if>


Just make sure you have the properties you want to set, with the right values, on a file that is read by the ant script. Also, note that you need to install ant-contrib for the "if" tag to work.

I see no reason to not do this at build time, but greater minds may show me wrong.

  Yours

Miguel Arroz

We have 4 different environments that we deploy to, development, test, staging, and production. We are using ant as our build tool.

For most of our environments we connect to a localhost database with a common password, but production is on an external server which has a more secure password. What is the best way to change the db connection at build time?

Example:
When I build for production, I want to make sure the connection is pointing to the correct server and the password is correct.


I know I can use ant to search and replace for connection string tokens in the Properties file, but is this the easiest way?
