Method Detail

execute

public void execute()
             throws BuildException

Does the work.

Overrides:

execute in class Task

Throws:

BuildException - Thrown in unrecoverable error.

doGet

@Deprecated
public boolean doGet(int logLevel,
                                 Get.DownloadProgress progress)
                          throws java.io.IOException

Deprecated. only gets the first configured resource

make a get request, with the supplied progress and logging info. All the other config parameters are set at the task level, source, dest, ignoreErrors, etc.

Parameters:

logLevel - level to log at, see Project.log(String, int)

progress - progress callback; null for no-callbacks

Returns:

true for a successful download, false otherwise. The return value is only relevant when ignoreErrors is true, as when false all failures raise BuildExceptions.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - for network trouble

BuildException - for argument errors, or other trouble when ignoreErrors is false.

doGet

public boolean doGet(java.net.URL source,
                     java.io.File dest,
                     int logLevel,
                     Get.DownloadProgress progress)
              throws java.io.IOException

make a get request, with the supplied progress and logging info. All the other config parameters like ignoreErrors are set at the task level.

Parameters:

source - the URL to get

dest - the target file

logLevel - level to log at, see Project.log(String, int)

progress - progress callback; null for no-callbacks

Returns:

true for a successful download, false otherwise. The return value is only relevant when ignoreErrors is true, as when false all failures raise BuildExceptions.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - for network trouble

BuildException - for argument errors, or other trouble when ignoreErrors is false.

Since:

Ant 1.8.0

log

public void log(java.lang.String msg,
                int msgLevel)

Description copied from class: Task

Logs a message with the given priority. This delegates the actual logging to the project.

Overrides:

log in class Task

Parameters:

msg - The message to be logged. Should not be null.

msgLevel - The message priority at which this message is to be logged.

setSrc

public void setSrc(java.net.URL u)

Set an URL to get.

Parameters:

u - URL for the file.

add

public void add(ResourceCollection rc)

Adds URLs to get.

Parameters:

rc - ResourceCollection

Since:

Ant 1.8.0

setDest

public void setDest(java.io.File dest)

Where to copy the source file.

Parameters:

dest - Path to file.

setVerbose

public void setVerbose(boolean v)

If true, show verbose progress information.

Parameters:

v - if "true" then be verbose

setQuiet

public void setQuiet(boolean v)

If true, set default log level to Project.MSG_ERR.

Parameters:

v - if "true" then be quiet

Since:

Ant 1.9.4

setIgnoreErrors

public void setIgnoreErrors(boolean v)

If true, log errors but do not treat as fatal.

Parameters:

v - if "true" then don't report download errors up to ant

setUseTimestamp

public void setUseTimestamp(boolean v)

If true, conditionally download a file based on the timestamp of the local copy.

In this situation, the if-modified-since header is set so that the file is only fetched if it is newer than the local file (or there is no local file) This flag is only valid on HTTP connections, it is ignored in other cases. When the flag is set, the local copy of the downloaded file will also have its timestamp set to the remote file time.

Note that remote files of date 1/1/1970 (GMT) are treated as 'no timestamp', and web servers often serve files with a timestamp in the future by replacing their timestamp with that of the current time. Also, inter-computer clock differences can cause no end of grief.

Parameters:

v - "true" to enable file time fetching

setUsername

public void setUsername(java.lang.String u)

Username for basic auth.

Parameters:

u - username for authentication

setPassword

public void setPassword(java.lang.String p)

password for the basic authentication.

Parameters:

p - password for authentication

setMaxTime

public void setMaxTime(long maxTime)

The time in seconds the download is allowed to take before being terminated.

Parameters:

maxTime - long

Since:

Ant 1.8.0

setRetries

public void setRetries(int r)

The number of attempts to make for opening the URI, defaults to 3.

The name of the method is misleading as a value of 1 means "don't retry on error" and a value of 0 meant don't even try to reach the URI at all.

Parameters:

r - number of attempts to make

Since:

Ant 1.8.0

setSkipExisting

public void setSkipExisting(boolean s)

Skip files that already exist locally.

Parameters:

s - "true" to skip existing destination files

Since:

Ant 1.8.0

setUserAgent

public void setUserAgent(java.lang.String userAgent)

HTTP connections only - set the user-agent to be used when communicating with remote server. if null, then the value is considered unset and the behaviour falls back to the default of the http API.

Parameters:

userAgent - String

Since:

Ant 1.9.3

setHttpUseCaches

public void setHttpUseCaches(boolean httpUseCache)

HTTP connections only - control caching on the HttpUrlConnection: httpConnection.setUseCaches(); if false, do not allow caching on the HttpUrlConnection.

Defaults to true (allow caching, which is also the HttpUrlConnection default value.

Parameters:

httpUseCache - boolean

Since:

Ant 1.8.0

setTryGzipEncoding

public void setTryGzipEncoding(boolean b)

Whether to transparently try to reduce bandwidth by telling the server ant would support gzip encoding.

Setting this to true also means Ant will uncompress .tar.gz and similar files automatically.

Parameters:

b - boolean

Since:

Ant 1.9.5

createMapper

public Mapper createMapper()
                    throws BuildException

BuildException - if more than one mapper is defined.

Since:

Ant 1.8.0

add

public void add(FileNameMapper fileNameMapper)

Add a nested filenamemapper.

Parameters:

fileNameMapper - the mapper to add.

Since:

Ant 1.8.0
