public class FreemarkerXmlTask
extends org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.MatchingTask

This is an Ant task for transforming XML documents using FreeMarker templates. It uses the adapter class NodeListModel. It will read a set of XML documents, and pass them to the template for processing, building the corresponding output files in the destination directory.

It makes the following variables available to the template in the data model:

• document: Deprecated! The DOM tree of the currently processed XML file wrapped with the legacy NodeListModel. For new projects you should use the .node instead, which initially contains the DOM Document wrapped with NodeModel.
• properties: a SimpleHash containing properties of the project that executes the task
• userProperties: a SimpleHash containing user properties of the project that executes the task
• project: the DOM tree of the XML file specified by the projectfile. It will not be available if you didn't specify the projectfile attribute.
• further custom models can be instantiated and made available to the templates using the models attribute.

It supports the following attributes:

Attribute	Description	Required
basedir	location of the XML files. Defaults to the project's basedir.	No
destdir	location to store the generated files.	Yes
includes	comma-separated list of patterns of files that must be included; all files are included when omitted.	No
includesfile	the name of a file that contains include patterns.	No
excludes	comma-separated list of patterns of files that must be excluded; no files (except default excludes) are excluded when omitted.	No
excludesfile	the name of a file that contains exclude patterns.	No
defaultexcludes	indicates whether default excludes should be used (yes | no); default excludes are used when omitted.	No
extension	extension of generated files. Defaults to .html.	No
template	name of the FreeMarker template file that will be applied by default to XML files	No
templateDir	location of the FreeMarker template(s) to be used, defaults to the project's baseDir	No
projectfile	path to the project file. The poject file must be an XML file. If omitted, it will not be available to templates	No
incremental	indicates whether all files should be regenerated (no), or only those that are older than the XML file, the template file, or the project file (yes). Defaults to yes.	No
encoding	The encoding of the output files. Defaults to platform default encoding.	No
templateEncoding	The encoding of the template files. Defaults to platform default encoding.	No
validation	Whether to validate the XML input. Defaults to off.	No
models	A list of [name=]className pairs separated by spaces, commas, or semicolons that specifies further models that should be available to templates. If name is omitted, the unqualified class name is used as the name. Every class that is specified must implement the TemplateModel interface and have a no-args constructor.	No

It supports the following nesed elements:

Element	Description	Required
prepareModel	This element executes Jython script before the processing of each XML files, that you can use to modify the data model. You either enter the Jython script directly nested into this element, or specify a Jython script file with the file attribute. The following variables are added to the Jython runtime's local namespace before the script is invoked: model: The data model as java.util.HashMap. You can read and modify the data model with this variable. doc: The XML document as org.w3c.dom.Document. project: The project document (if used) as org.w3c.dom.Document. If this element is used, Jython classes (tried with Jython 2.1) must be available.	No
prepareEnvironment	This element executes Jython script before the processing of each XML files, that you can use to modify the freemarker environment (Environment). The script is executed after the prepareModel element. The accessible Jython variables are the same as with the prepareModel element, except that there is no model variable, but there is env variable, which is the FreeMarker environment (Environment). If this element is used, Jython classes (tried with Jython 2.1) must be available.	No
