xdoclet.ant
Class AntProxy

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--xdoclet.ant.AntProxy

All Implemented Interfaces:

DynamicConfigurator

public class AntProxy

extends Object

implements DynamicConfigurator

When XDoclet is invoked via Ant, Ant will only deal with AntProxy objects (except for the XDocletTask). Any sub element (plugin, predicates...) AntProxy objects will have a reference to the *real* object, and all calls initiated by Ant will be forwarded to these objects via Ant's introspection mechanism.

This means that any class that should be available from Ant must follow Ant's naming conventions for setXxx methods. Any class that wish to have child elements should implement a public Object createElement(String) method (which will be called via reflection by the AntProxy objects). This way XDoclet can maintain Ant compatibility without having any compile-time or runtime dependencies to Ant. The only classes that are tied to Ant in XDoclet are in this package.
