Constructor Detail

Checksum

public Checksum()
Method Detail

setFile

public void setFile(java.io.File file)
Sets the file for which the checksum is to be calculated.

Parameters:
file - a File value

setTodir

public void setTodir(java.io.File todir)
Sets the root directory where checksum files will be written/read

Parameters:
todir - the directory to write to
Since:
Ant 1.6

setAlgorithm

public void setAlgorithm(java.lang.String algorithm)
Specifies the algorithm to be used to compute the checksum. Defaults to "MD5". Other popular algorithms like "SHA" may be used as well.

Parameters:
algorithm - a String value

setProvider

public void setProvider(java.lang.String provider)
Sets the MessageDigest algorithm provider to be used to calculate the checksum.

Parameters:
provider - a String value

setFileext

public void setFileext(java.lang.String fileext)
Sets the file extension that is be to used to create or identify destination file.

Parameters:
fileext - a String value

setProperty

public void setProperty(java.lang.String property)
Sets the property to hold the generated checksum.

Parameters:
property - a String value

setTotalproperty

public void setTotalproperty(java.lang.String totalproperty)
Sets the property to hold the generated total checksum for all files.

Parameters:
totalproperty - a String value
Since:
Ant 1.6

setVerifyproperty

public void setVerifyproperty(java.lang.String verifyProperty)
Sets the verify property. This project property holds the result of a checksum verification - "true" or "false"

Parameters:
verifyProperty - a String value

setForceOverwrite

public void setForceOverwrite(boolean forceOverwrite)
Whether or not to overwrite existing file irrespective of whether it is newer than the source file. Defaults to false.

Parameters:
forceOverwrite - a boolean value

setReadBufferSize

public void setReadBufferSize(int size)
The size of the read buffer to use.

Parameters:
size - an int value

setFormat

public void setFormat(Checksum.FormatElement e)
Select the in/output pattern via a well know format name.

Parameters:
e - an enumerated value
Since:
1.7.0

setPattern

public void setPattern(java.lang.String p)
Specify the pattern to use as a MessageFormat pattern.

{0} gets replaced by the checksum, {1} by the filename.

Parameters:
p - a String value
Since:
1.7.0

addFileset

public void addFileset(FileSet set)
Files to generate checksums for.

Parameters:
set - a fileset of files to generate checksums for.

add

public void add(ResourceCollection rc)
Add a resource collection.

Parameters:
rc - the ResourceCollection to add.

execute

public void execute()
             throws BuildException
Calculate the checksum(s).

Overrides:
execute in class Task
Throws:
BuildException - on error

eval

public boolean eval()
             throws BuildException
Calculate the checksum(s)

Specified by:
eval in interface Condition
Returns:
Returns true if the checksum verification test passed, false otherwise.
Throws:
BuildException - on error

decodeHex

public static byte[] decodeHex(char[] data)
                        throws BuildException
Converts an array of characters representing hexadecimal values into an array of bytes of those same values. The returned array will be half the length of the passed array, as it takes two characters to represent any given byte. An exception is thrown if the passed char array has an odd number of elements. NOTE: This code is copied from jakarta-commons codec.

Parameters:
data - an array of characters representing hexadecimal values
Returns:
the converted array of bytes
Throws:
BuildException - on error
