Why isn't the param value being "scoped"? I was under the impression that an
<antcall> encapsulates all the properties associated with the target being
called (unless inheritAll="false") including any properties that were set in
depends target calls. I've tried several different ways to get the build
logic to flow a certain way but each iteration (after failing to achieve
desired results) becomes more of a hack (and messy)...this way appeared to
be the cleanest way but it doesn't work as planned.

What I noticed was that the <param name="jndiPrefix" value="aux" /> was not
being set when the depends call to chk-ejbjndi-outofdate target was
executed. This compounds my confusion, how does the <outofdate> task execute
when the ${jndiPrefix} property is not resolved? 

I know this because of the debug output:
chk-ejbjndi-outofdate:
Property ${jndiPrefix} has not been set

The chain of events starts at the generate.ejb.jars target. Any insight will
be greatly appreciated.

 <target name="chk-ejbjndi-outofdate">
     <outofdate property="jndi_outofdate">
       <sourcefiles>
         <fileset dir="${this.ejb.build.dir}" includes="**/*.class"/>
       </sourcefiles>
       <targetfiles>
         <pathelement
path="${app.module.dir}\${jndiPrefix}\${ejb.jar.name}"/>
       </targetfiles>
     </outofdate>
     <echo>${jndiPrefix} notuptodate: ${jndi_outofdate}</echo>
  </target> 

 <target name="ejb.jar.prefix" depends="chk-ejbjndi-outofdate"
if="jndi_outofdate">
     <antcall target="ejb.jar">
        <param name="jndiPrefix" value="aux" />
     </antcall>
     <antcall target="ejb.jar">
        <param name="jndiPrefix" value="rules" />
     </antcall>
     <antcall target="ejb.jar">
        <param name="jndiPrefix" value="complexRules" />
     </antcall>
  </target>

  <target name="generate.ejb.jars"  depends="init,jarTmpEJB,compile">
     <!-- Generate different ejb jar base on jndi prefix. -->
     <antcall target="ejb.jar.noprefix"/>
     <antcall target="ejb.jar.prefix"/>
     ...
  </target>

Thanks

I have a need for a task that compares a jar to it's "list" of class files
(found uptodate to work fine for the first part of the compare). 

I expect the second compare to never be true when the first is (*to meet the
target execute condition*). The <not> part is not working like I thought (as
a negator)...I tried the <outofdate> task but it always ends up executing
the target...see below, 2nd example.

My scenario:
-There is another task that executes unless="noprefix_uptodate"....this
generates/deploys the ejb jar for the non-jndi prefix ejb -Then ejb.jar is
called (via <antcall> 3x - 1 per other jndi prefixes)...the only difference
between these jars is the jndi prefix

I'm sure there is a clean, simpler way but I can not figure it out. Thanks!
