Read Properties from XML File - trouble with syntax

100000KRSS gravatar image
Question by Sam_Caruso  (1) | Aug 05, 2015 at 03:55 PM urbancodedeployucdproperties

I'm having some trouble using the "Read Properties from XML File" step (part of the File Utils plugin). Struggling with the syntax for what to put in the "Property Keys" property in the step.

My simple XML file is attached - would like to get the values of the properties into UrbanCode to use them... tried several variants but nothing has worked yet.

(Eventually these properties will be moved into UCD as environment or resource properties... but for now I need to read them from this file.)

Any help appreciated. link text

I found the key. If you still need a solution, try to change the "Process Type" of the component process to "Deployment" Hope this help

Hello Frank,

Thanks for the tip. I was able to read the value from the XML file. How can I consume it in subsequent steps as a property? I tried in my case ${p:var.value} but it gives me an error.

any idea?
