Copy and rename file

[Phil Hyde]

Hello,

I am trying to create an installer.  One of our manual steps is to copy an artifact of our build process (.war file) to the Apache Tomcat 'webapps' folder, and rename it to "ROOT.war".

Is there a simple way to rename a file after unpacking it?

thanks,

Phil

Hi Phil,

for the purpose of renaming a single file <singlefile> is the best choice for you. Simply set the target attribute to the file name of your choice.  See https://izpack.atlassian.net/wiki/x/7IAH.

Greetings,

René

Thanks René!  That worked great.

Is there any way to copy files after they are unzipped from an archive?  The compiler complains that files do not exist.

What you need is probably the combination <file src="archive.zip" unpack="true" />, see https://izpack.atlassian.net/wiki/x/6IAH.

Unfortunately, there is currently no way implemented for renaming files extracted from an archive.

Thanks Rene.  Our current build process creates a zip file with a bunch of miscellaneous files.   I ended up solving this problem by just unzipping that content and using it directly in the installer.

This is where Maven is your friend and has the better possibilities, of course.

You can open a feature request in JIRA, if you need a special enhancement for archives.
