Hi gilbert,

Thanks for your replies.

This is what i am trying to acheive from within an Ant script:

Hit a URL say http://host/environment?name=test ,from which a get a response
a containing key-value pairs containing data about the environment.(could
this be done without writing the key-value data to a properties file by just
reading response with Ant?)

Next step is to set the key value pairs obtained as system env variable
key=env variable name and value=env variable value so that next time when i
run a command for ex: say wssmoke which needs these variables would pick
them up from environments variables rather than passing explicting to the
command as parameters.

Regards
Raj
