public class PostTask extends org.apache.tools.ant.Task
This task does an http post. Name/value pairs for the post can be set in either or both of two ways, by nested Prop elements and/or by a file containing properties. Nested Prop elements are automatically configured by Ant. Properties from a file are configured by code borrowed from Property so all Ant property constructs (like ${somename}) are resolved prior to the post. This means that a file can be set up in advance of running the build and the appropriate property values will be filled in at run time.- Version:

-
setFile
public void setFile(java.io.File f)
Set the name of a file to read a set of properties from.- Parameters:

- the file
-
setLogfile
public void setLogfile(java.io.File f)
Set the name of a file to save the response to. Optional. Ignored if "want response" is false.- Parameters:
f
- the file
-
setAppend
public void setAppend(boolean b)
Should the log file be appended to or overwritten? Default is true, append to the file.- Parameters:
b
- append or not
-
setVerbose
public void setVerbose(boolean b)
If true, progress messages and returned data from the post will be displayed. Default is true.- Parameters:
b
- true = verbose
-
setWantresponse
public void setWantresponse(boolean b)
Default is true, get the response from the post. Can be set to false for "fire and forget" messages.- Parameters:
b
- print/log server response
-
setProperty
public void setProperty(java.lang.String name)
Set the name of a property to save the response to. Optional. Ignored if "wantResponse" is false.- Parameters:
name
- the name to use for the property
-
setEncoding
public void setEncoding(java.lang.String encoding)
Sets the encoding of the outgoing properties, default is UTF-8.- Parameters:
encoding
- The new encoding value
-
setMaxwait
public void setMaxwait(int wait)
How long to wait on the remote server. As a post is generally a two part process (sending and receiving), maxwait is applied separately to each part, that is, if 180 is passed as the wait parameter, this task will spend at most 3 minutes to connect to the remote server and at most another 3 minutes waiting on a response after the post has been sent. This means that the wait period could total as much as 6 minutes (or 360 seconds).The default wait period is 3 minutes (180 seconds).
- Parameters:
wait
- time to wait in seconds, set to 0 to wait forever.
-
setFailonerror
public void setFailonerror(boolean fail)
Should the build fail if the post fails?- Parameters:
fail
- true = fail the build, default is false
-
addConfiguredProp
public void addConfiguredProp(Prop p) throws org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException
Adds a name/value pair to post. Optional.- Parameters:
