Global Value

[theApex]

Is there a way to set a variable to true at the begining of the script. For example:

#farm=true

and then

<strategy class="Farmizzator" desc="Farm -103|34" enabled="#farm">
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$PARAMITERS$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
</strategy>
<strategy class="Farmizzator" desc="Farm -104|34" enabled="#farm">
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$PARAMITERS$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
</strategy>
<strategy class="Farmizzator" desc="Farm -107|34" enabled="#farm">
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$PARAMITERS$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
</strategy>
etc...

so i dont have to manualy change the value to true in every single strategy, i can just do it once globaly

This is a good idea.
We're using Commons Configuration for the config file, and the docs say you can do what you need: http://commons.apache.org/configuration/userguide/howto_basicfeatures.html#Variable_Interpolation
The examples given are for properties files, but we are using an XML file, so I can't tell you for sure how to do it before I try it myself.
I guess you could do something like

Code: Select all

<configuration>
   <farmFlag>true</farmFlag>
           etc.
           <strategy enabled="{$configuration.farmFlag}">


Try it and let us know!

Thank's !!!!!
This works great!!!!
saves you lots of time....

sorry about that seems not to work, it's just completely remove the strategy, no errors...
maybe we should put it in the language file....?

[just84]

OK,
I have tried to put it in the language file as key.buildflag , and buildflag .
Also i have tried to put it in my configuration as {$language-us.buildflag} , {$language-us.properties.buildflag} , {$buildflag} and buildflag.
Also tries every thing with the '$' sign before the '{' (as it is writing in the link you gave...)
none of it work...
but I do think this can help a lot if we would find out how to use it...

Hi Xian!

I still think this is a very useful idea...
Any news wether you are implementing this,, and if so, when you plan to have a distro available (approximately offcourse)

Thx.

[xtian]

I just realised I made a mistake in my first example.

Wrong:

Code: Select all

<configuration>
<farmFlag>true</farmFlag>
<strategy enabled="{$configuration.farmFlag}">

Correct:

Code: Select all

<configuration>
<farmFlag>true</farmFlag>
<strategy enabled="${farmFlag}">

Note that the dollar sign comes BEFORE the braces, and also "configuration." shouldn't be there.

I still haven't tried it though.

[Die_Papa]

I've tried this but can't get it to work.
I also tried removing the quotes, but that results in a hard error.

same to me.

my nanny say strategy enabled. but she never run that strategy.

The example xtian linked to above says this:
application.name = Killer App
application.version = 1.6.2

application.title = ${application.name} ${application.version}

so in our case I would guess
farm.enable = true
<configuration>
<strategy enabled="${farm.enable}">

would be our conversion of that example
edit:
I can't make this work

to turn things on or off, I usually comment it away to turn it off, <!-- means start of comment, and --> is end of comment.
you can not nest comments. This is how it would look with the 3 farmizzator routines NOT running
<!--
<strategy class="Farmizzator" desc="Farm -103|34" enabled="true">
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$PARAMITERS$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
</strategy>
<strategy class="Farmizzator" desc="Farm -104|34" enabled="true">
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$PARAMITERS$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
</strategy>
<strategy class="Farmizzator" desc="Farm -107|34" enabled="true">
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$PARAMITERS$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
</strategy>
-->
