[izpack-users] IzPack XML variable substitution...

[Dennis Reil]

It should be:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" standalone="yes" ?>
<properties>
	<category name="general">
		<property name="${PORT}" value=""/>
	</category>
</properties>

Betreff: [izpack-users] IzPack XML variable substitution...

Hello All,

I am fairly new to the IZpack and just now i have started using it. I want  
to use it as an installer for one of my application, which requires to set  
the XML configuration properties for the application. To be more  
technical, I want to UserInput panel to take input from user and set these  
values in the XML file (which contains the configuration properties).

Problem is - User input is not reflected back in XML configuration file.

Please somebody help me sorting it out.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Here is my configuration file where i need to set values -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" standalone="yes" ?>
<properties>
	<category name="general">
		<property name="PORT" value=""/>
	</category>
</properties>

UserInputSpec.xml file -

<userInput>
<panel order="0">
	<!--field type="staticText" align="left" txt="My comment is here."  
id="input.comment"/-->
	<field type="text" variable="PORT">
		<spec txt="Proxy Port:" id="PORT" size="6" set=""/>
	</field>
</panel>
</userInput>

And finally, install.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" standalone="yes" ?>

<installation version="1.0">
     <info>
         <appname>Blueoptima Connector Server</appname>
         <appversion>1.0</appversion>
