<title>Conditions Task</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2><a name="Conditions">Conditions</a></h2>
<p>Conditions are nested elements of the
<a href="condition.html"><code>&lt;condition&gt;</code></a> and
<a href="waitfor.html"><code>&lt;waitfor&gt;</code></a> tasks.
There are core conditions and custom conditions. Custom
conditions are described in
<a href="../Types/custom-programming.html#customconditions">
Custom Conditions</a>.
Core Conditions are described below.
</p>
<h3><a name="coreconditions">Core Conditions</a></h3>
<p>These are the nested elements that can be used as conditions in the
<a href="condition.html"><code>&lt;condition&gt;</code></a> and
<a href="waitfor.html"><code>&lt;waitfor&gt;</code></a> tasks.</p>
<h4><a name="not">not</a></h4>
<p>The <code>&lt;not&gt;</code> element expects exactly one other
condition to be nested into this element, negating the result of the
condition. It doesn't have any attributes and accepts all nested
elements of the condition task as nested elements as well.</p>
<h4><a name="and">and</a></h4> <p>
The <code>&lt;and&gt;</code> element doesn't have any attributes and
accepts an arbitrary number of conditions as nested elements - all
nested elements of the condition task are supported. This condition
is true if all of its contained conditions are, conditions will be
evaluated in the order they have been specified in the build file.</p>
<p>The <code>&lt;and&gt;</code> condition has the same shortcut
semantics as the Java &amp;&amp; operator, as soon as one of the
nested conditions is false, no other condition will be evaluated.</p>
<h4><a name="or">or</a></h4> <p>
The <code>&lt;or&gt;</code> element doesn't have any attributes and
accepts an arbitrary number of conditions as nested elements - all
nested elements of the condition task are supported. This condition
is true if at least one of its contained conditions is, conditions
will be evaluated in the order they have been specified in the build
file.</p> <p>The <code>&lt;or&gt;</code> condition has the same
shortcut semantics as the Java || operator, as soon as one of the
nested conditions is true, no other condition will be evaluated.</p>
<h4><a name="xor">xor</a></h4>
<p>The <code>&lt;xor&gt;</code> element performs an exclusive
or on all nested elements, similar to the <code>^</code> operator
in Java. It only evaluates to true if an odd number of nested conditions
are true. There is no shortcutting of evaluation, unlike the <code>&lt;and&gt;</code>
and <code>&lt;or&gt;</code> tests.
It doesn't have any attributes and accepts all nested
elements of the condition task as nested elements as well.</p>
<h4><a name="available">available</a></h4>
<p>This condition is identical to the <a
href="available.html">Available</a> task, all attributes and nested
elements of that task are supported, the property and value attributes
are redundant and will be ignored.</p>
<h4><a name="uptodate">uptodate</a></h4>
<p>This condition is identical to the <a
href="uptodate.html">Uptodate</a> task, all attributes and nested
elements of that task are supported, the property and value attributes
are redundant and will be ignored.</p>
<h4><a name="os">os</a></h4>
<p>Test whether the current operating system is of a given type. Each
defined attribute is tested and the result is true only if <i>all</i>
the tests succeed.

<h5>Parameters specified as nested elements</h5>
<h6>classpath</h6>
<p>
See the <a href="../Tasks/script.html">script</a> task
for using this nested element.
</p>
<h5>Description</h5>
<p>
The script supports script language inline, this script has access to the
same beans as the <code>&lt;script&gt;</code> task, and to the <code>self</code> bean,
which refers back to the condition itself. If the script evaluates to a boolean result,
this is the result of the condition's evaluation (<em>since Ant 1.7.1</em>).
Alternatively, <code>self.value</code> can be used to set the evaluation result.
</p>
<p>
Example:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>
&lt;scriptcondition language=&quot;javascript&quot;
value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;
self.setValue(false);
&lt;/scriptcondition&gt;
</pre></blockquote>
Sets the default value of the condition to true, then in the script,
sets the value to false. This condition always evaluates to "false"

<h4><a name="isreachable">isreachable</a></h4>
<p>Uses Java1.5+ networking APIs to probe for a (remote) system being
reachable. Exactly what probe mechanisms are used is an implementation
feature of the JVM. They may include ICMP "ping" packets, UDP or TCP connections
to port 7 "echo service" or other means.
</p>
<p>
This condition turns unknown host exceptions into false conditions. This is
because on a laptop, DNS is one of the first services when the network goes; you
are implicitly offline.
</p>
<p>
If a URL is supplied instead of a host, the hostname is extracted
and used in the test - all other parts of the URL are discarded.
</p>
<p>
The test may not work through firewalls, that is, something may be reachable
using a protocol such as HTTP, while the lower level ICMP packets get dropped
on the floor. Similarly, a host may detected as reachable with ICMP, but
not reachable on other ports (i.e. port 80), because of firewalls.
</p>
<p>
This condition was added in Apache Ant 1.7.</p>

<p>
There is also an optional &lt;regexp&gt; element, which can be used to specify
a regular expression instead of the "pattern" attribute.
See <a href="../Types/regexp.html">Regexp Type</a> for the description
of the nested element regexp and of
the choice of regular expression implementation.
</p>
<p>
An example:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>
&lt;condition property="legal-password"&gt;
&lt;matches pattern="[1-9]" string="${user-input}"/&gt;
&lt;/condition&gt;
&lt;fail message="Your password should at least contain one number"
unless="legal-password"/&gt;
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
The following example sets the property "ok" if
the property "input" is three characters long, starting
with 'a' and ending with 'b'.
</p>
<blockquote><pre>
&lt;condition property="ok"&gt;
&lt;matches string="${input}" pattern="^a.b$"/&gt;
&lt;/condition&gt;
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
The following defines a reference regular expression for
matching dates and then uses antunit to check if the
property "today" is in the correct format:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>
&lt;regexp id="date.pattern" pattern="^[0123]\d-[01]\d-[12]\d\d\d$"/&gt;
&lt;au:assertTrue xmlns:au="antlib:org.apache.ant.antunit"&gt;
&lt;matches string="${today}"&gt;
&lt;regexp refid="date.pattern"/&gt;
&lt;/matches&gt;
&lt;/au:assertTrue&gt;
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
The following example shows the use of the singleline and the casesensitive
flags.
</p>
<blockquote><pre>
&lt;au:assertTrue&gt;
&lt;matches string="AB${line.separator}C" pattern="^ab.*C$"
casesensitive="false"
singleline="true"/&gt;
&lt;/au:assertTrue&gt;
&lt;au:assertFalse&gt;
&lt;matches string="AB${line.separator}C" pattern="^ab.*C$"
casesensitive="false"
singleline="false"/&gt;
&lt;/au:assertFalse&gt;
</pre></blockquote>
<h4><a name="antversion">antversion</a></h4>
<p>This condition is identical to the <a
href="antversion.html">Antversion</a> task, all attributes are supported, the property attribute
is redundant and will be ignored.</p>

<p>
