I would recommend you have a file with all the settings set from ant
properties

fileServingEnabled="${webapp.fileServingEnabled}"

Then you take the this template and <copy> it with property expansion

Here is a presetdef template

  <!--preset to copy with ant property expansion (and always overwrite)-->
  <presetdef name="expandingcopy">
   <copy overwrite="true">
    <filterchain>
      <expandproperties/>
    </filterchain>
   </copy>
  </presetdef>

That you can use whenever you need to, such as when patching izpack xml
files or RPM .spec files:

  <expandingcopy todir="${build.dir}">
    <fileset file="izpack/install.xml"/>
  </expandingcopy>

  <expandingcopy todir="${rpm.SPECS}">
    <fileset dir="${rpm.metadata.dir}" includes="**/*.spec"/>
  </expandingcopy>
