Checksum

public Checksum()

Method Detail

setFile

public void setFile(java.io.File file)

Sets the file for which the checksum is to be calculated.

setAlgorithm

public void setAlgorithm(java.lang.String algorithm)

Specifies the algorithm to be used to compute the checksum. Defaults to "MD5". Other popular algorithms like "SHA" may be used as well.

setProvider

public void setProvider(java.lang.String provider)

Sets the MessageDigest algorithm provider to be used to calculate the checksum.

setFileext

public void setFileext(java.lang.String fileext)

Sets the file extension that is be to used to create or identify destination file.

setProperty

public void setProperty(java.lang.String property)

Sets the property to hold the generated checksum.

setVerifyproperty

public void setVerifyproperty(java.lang.String verifyProperty)

Sets the verify property. This project property holds the result of a checksum verification - "true" or "false"

setForceOverwrite

public void setForceOverwrite(boolean forceOverwrite)

Whether or not to overwrite existing file irrespective of whether it is newer than the source file. Defaults to false.

setReadBufferSize

public void setReadBufferSize(int size)

The size of the read buffer to use.

addFileset

public void addFileset(FileSet set)

Files to generate checksums for.

execute

public void execute()
             throws BuildException

Calculate the checksum(s).

Overrides:

execute in class Task

Throws:

BuildException - if something goes wrong with the build

eval

public boolean eval()
             throws BuildException

Calculate the checksum(s)

Specified by:

eval in interface Condition

Returns:

Returns true if the checksum verification test passed, false otherwise.

Throws:

BuildException
