TaskAdapter (Apache Ant API)

Class TaskAdapter

public class TaskAdapter extends Task implements TypeAdapter

Uses introspection to "adapt" an arbitrary Bean which doesn't itself extend Task, but still contains an execute method and optionally a setProject method.

Constructor Summary
	TaskAdapter() No-arg constructor for reflection.
	TaskAdapter(Object proxy) Constructor for given proxy.

Constructor Summary

TaskAdapter()

No-arg constructor for reflection.

TaskAdapter(Object proxy)

Constructor for given proxy.

Method Summary
void	checkProxyClass(Class proxyClass) Check if the proxy class is a valid class to use with this adapter.
static void	checkTaskClass(Class taskClass, Project project) Checks whether or not a class is suitable to be adapted by TaskAdapter.
void	execute() Executes the proxied task.
Object	getProxy() Returns the target object being proxied.
void	setProxy(Object o) Sets the target object to proxy for.

Method Summary

void

checkProxyClass(Class proxyClass)

Check if the proxy class is a valid class to use with this adapter.

static void

checkTaskClass(Class taskClass, Project project)

Checks whether or not a class is suitable to be adapted by TaskAdapter.

void

execute()

Executes the proxied task.

Object

getProxy()

Returns the target object being proxied.

void

setProxy(Object o)

Sets the target object to proxy for.

Constructor for given proxy. So you could write easier code

 myTaskContainer.addTask( new TaskAdapter(myProxy) );

Parameters: proxy The object which Ant should use as task.

Method Detail

checkProxyClass

Check if the proxy class is a valid class to use with this adapter. The class must have a public no-arg "execute()" method.

Parameters: proxyClass the class to check.

checkTaskClass

Checks whether or not a class is suitable to be adapted by TaskAdapter. If the class is of type Dispatchable, the check is not performed because the method that will be executed will be determined only at runtime of the actual task and not during parse time. This only checks conditions which are additionally required for tasks adapted by TaskAdapter. Thus, this method should be called by Project.checkTaskClass. Throws a BuildException and logs as Project.MSG_ERR for conditions that will cause the task execution to fail. Logs other suspicious conditions with Project.MSG_WARN.

Parameters: taskClass Class to test for suitability. Must not be null. project Project to log warnings/errors to. Must not be null.
