Constructor Detail

Redirector

public Redirector(Task managingTask)

Create a redirector instance for the given task

Parameters:

managingTask - the task for which the redirector is to work

Method Detail

setInput

public void setInput(java.io.File input)

Set the input to use for the task

Parameters:

input - the file from which input is read.

setInput

public void setInput(java.io.File[] input)

Set the input to use for the task

Parameters:

input - the files from which input is read.

setInputString

public void setInputString(java.lang.String inputString)

Set the string to use as input

Parameters:

inputString - the string which is used as the input source

setOutput

public void setOutput(java.io.File out)

File the output of the process is redirected to. If error is not redirected, it too will appear in the output

Parameters:

out - the file to which output stream is written

setOutput

public void setOutput(java.io.File[] out)

Set the output encoding.

Parameters:

outputEncoding - String.

setErrorEncoding

public void setErrorEncoding(java.lang.String errorEncoding)

Set the error encoding.

Parameters:

errorEncoding - String.

setInputEncoding

public void setInputEncoding(java.lang.String inputEncoding)

Set the input encoding.

Parameters:

inputEncoding - String.

setLogError

public void setLogError(boolean logError)

Controls whether error output of exec is logged. This is only useful when output is being redirected and error output is desired in the Ant log

Parameters:

logError - if true the standard error is sent to the Ant log system and not sent to output.

setAppendProperties

public void setAppendProperties(boolean appendProperties)

This Redirector's subordinate PropertyOutputStreams will not set their respective properties while (appendProperties && append).

Parameters:

appendProperties - whether to append properties.

setError

public void setError(java.io.File error)

Set the file to which standard error is to be redirected.

Parameters:

error - the file to which error is to be written

setError

public void setError(java.io.File[] error)

Set the files to which standard error is to be redirected.

Parameters:

error - the file to which error is to be written

setOutputProperty

public void setOutputProperty(java.lang.String outputProperty)

Property name whose value should be set to the output of the process.

Parameters:

outputProperty - the name of the property to be set with the task's output.

setAppend

public void setAppend(boolean append)

Whether output should be appended to or overwrite an existing file. Defaults to false.

Parameters:

append - if true output and error streams are appended to their respective files, if specified.

setCreateEmptyFiles
