public abstract class MSVSS
extends Task

A base class for creating tasks for executing commands on Visual SourceSafe.

The class extends the 'exec' task as it operates by executing the ss.exe program supplied with SourceSafe. By default the task expects ss.exe to be in the path, you can override this be specifying the ssdir attribute.

This class provides set and get methods for 'login' and 'vsspath' attributes. It also contains constants for the flags that can be passed to SS.

Constructor Detail

### MSVSS

    public MSVSS()

Method Detail

### setSsdir

    public final void setSsdir(java.lang.String dir)

  directory where `ss.exe` resides; optional. By default the task expects it to be in the PATH.

  Parameters:
    `dir` - the directory containing ss.exe

### getSSCommand

    public final java.lang.String getSSCommand()

  Builds and returns the command string to execute ss.exe

### setLogin

    public final void setLogin(java.lang.String login)

  The login to use when accessing VSS, formatted as "username,password"; optional.

  You can omit the password if your database is not password protected. if you have a password and omit it, Ant/VSS will hang.

  Parameters:
    `login` - the login string to use

### getLoginCommand

    public void getLoginCommand(Commandline cmd)

  Returns:
    the appropriate login command if the 'login' attribute was specified, otherwise an empty string

### setVsspath

    public final void setVsspath(java.lang.String vssPath)

  SourceSafe path which specifies the project/file(s) you wish to perform the action on; required. You should not specify the leading dollar-sign - it is prepended by Ant automatically.

  Ant can't cope with a '$' sign in an attribute so we have to add it here. Also we strip off any 'vss://' prefix which is an XMS special and should probably be removed!

  Parameters:
    `vssPath` -
  To do:
    dont add a $ prefix if it has one

### getVsspath

    public java.lang.String getVsspath()

  Returns:
    m_vssPath

### setServerpath

    public final void setServerpath(java.lang.String serverPath)

  Set the directory where `srssafe.ini` resides; optional.

  Parameters:
    `serverPath` -

### run

    protected int run(Commandline cmd)
