| 120 | <h3>Examples</h3>
|
|---|
| 121 | <p><b>Example 1</b></p>
|
|---|
| 122 | <pre><checksum file="foo.bar"/></pre>
|
|---|
| 123 | Generates a MD5 checksum for foo.bar and stores the checksum in the destination file
|
|---|
| 124 | foo.bar.MD5. foo.bar.MD5 is overwritten only if foo.bar is newer than itself.
|
|---|
| 125 |
|
|---|
| 126 | <p><b>Example 2</b></p>
|
|---|
| 127 | <pre><checksum file="foo.bar" forceOverwrite="yes"/></pre>
|
|---|
| 128 | Generates a MD5 checksum for foo.bar and stores the checksum in foo.bar.MD5.
|
|---|
| 129 | If foo.bar.MD5 already exists, it is overwritten.
|
|---|
| 130 |
|
|---|
| 131 | <p><b>Example 3</b></p>
|
|---|
| 132 | <pre><checksum file="foo.bar" property="foobarMD5"/></pre>
|
|---|
| 133 | Generates a MD5 checksum for foo.bar and stores it in the Project Property foobarMD5.
|
|---|
| 134 |
|
|---|
| 135 | <p><b>Example 4</b></p>
|
|---|
| 136 | <pre><checksum file="foo.bar" verifyProperty="isMD5ok"/></pre>
|
|---|
| 137 | Generates a MD5 checksum for foo.bar, compares it against foo.bar.MD5 and sets
|
|---|
| 138 | isMD5ok to either true or false, depending upon the result.
|
|---|
| 139 |
|
|---|
| 140 | <p><b>Example 5</b></p>
|
|---|
| 141 | <pre><checksum file="foo.bar" algorithm="SHA" fileext="asc"/></pre>
|
|---|
| 142 | Generates a SHA checksum for foo.bar and stores the checksum in the destination file
|
|---|
| 143 | foo.bar.asc. foo.bar.asc is overwritten only if foo.bar is newer than itself.
|
|---|
| 144 |
|
|---|
| 145 | <p><b>Example 6</b></p>
|
|---|
| 146 | <pre>
|
|---|
| 147 | <checksum file="foo.bar" property="${md5}" verifyProperty="isEqual"/>
|
|---|
| 148 | </pre>
|
|---|
| 149 | Generates a MD5 checksum for foo.bar, compares it against the value of the property
|
|---|
| 150 | md5, and sets isEqual to either true or false, depending upon the result.
|
|---|
| 151 |
|
|---|
| 152 | <p><b>Example 7</b></p>
|
|---|
| 153 | <pre>
|
|---|
| 154 | <checksum>
|
|---|
| 155 | <fileset dir=".">
|
|---|
| 156 | <include name="foo*"/>
|
|---|
| 157 | </fileset>
|
|---|
| 158 | </checksum>
|
|---|
| 159 | </pre>
|
|---|
| 160 | Works just like Example 1, but generates a .MD5 file for every file that begins with the name foo.
|
|---|
| 161 |
|
|---|
| 162 | <p><b>Example 8</b></p>
|
|---|
| 163 | <pre>
|
|---|
| 164 | <condition property="isChecksumEqual">
|
|---|
| 165 | <checksum>
|
|---|
| 166 | <fileset dir=".">
|
|---|
| 167 | <include name="foo.bar"/>
|
|---|
| 168 | </fileset>
|
|---|
| 169 | </checksum>
|
|---|
| 170 | </condition>
|
|---|
| 171 | </pre>
|
|---|
| 172 | Works like Example 4, but only sets isChecksumEqual to true, if the
|
|---|
| 173 | checksum matches - it will never be set to false. This example
|
|---|
| 174 | demonstrates use with the Condition task.
|
|---|
| 175 |
|
|---|
| 176 |
|
|---|
| 177 | <h3>Note:</h3>
|
|---|
| 178 | When working with more than one file, if condition and/or verifyproperty is used,
|
|---|
| 179 | the result will be true only if the checksums matched correctly for all files being
|
|---|
| 180 | considered.
