I have been using ANT to get builds done of the many projects we work on, and one of the things that has bugged me was that the SVN username and passowrd was stored in the build.properties file. Today the ANT Manual came to the rescue with the input task. Lets look at the example […]
As part of my build and deploy process I wanted to get the revision number of the working copy and append it into the application so its visible. To do this you need to have already installed the SVNAnt task, (see my previous post) as its not a core ANT task. Using the status task, […]
Once you have installed the SVN task to Eclipse, you can begin to look at the possibilities. For example in a deployment scenario you could use ANT to export the HEAD revision so you have a clean set of files ready for moving by FTP or some other means. There certainly isnt any VooDoo here, […]
On my road of exploration for ANT, and the end goal of using it for deployment, I have had to tackle how to get files out of SVN ready for moving to a server. This means getting ANT to run the equivalent of an svn export from the command line. This is possible using the […]

Despite slightly surferesque name the company seemed to have a shining reputation from blogs, mailing lists and on their own site. Looks like a great deal right? Well yes it […]
I went on the hunt recently for a decent suggest component for ajaxCFC and after starting to build my own I came across this example from Rob Gonda for a single suggest with ajaxCFC. The issue here was that the code is built only to work for one component on a page. As I am […]
I have just been testing our applications on the new ColdFusion 8 and everything was running fine until I tried to process a couple of payments through a test gateway on our ecommmerce modules. We mostly integrate using the XML method provided by the gateway, and therefore have to do some manipulation on the XML […]
My first trip on Cathay Pacific was a pleasant one. Leaving Sydney at 10pm, the airport was very quiet and I had checked in online so had no queue to dump my bags. Being rather tall I wanted to see if I could get some exit row seats, however this isnt an option you are […]
