Method Detail

addFileset

public void addFileset(FileSet set)
Files to generate checksums for.

decodeHex

public static byte[] decodeHex(char[] data)
Converts an array of characters representing hexadecimal values into an array of bytes of those same values. The returned array will be half the length of the passed array, as it takes two characters to represent any given byte. An exception is thrown if the passed char array has an odd number of elements. NOTE: This code is copied from jakarta-commons codec.

eval

public boolean eval()
Calculate the checksum(s)

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

execute

public void execute()
Calculate the checksum(s).

setAlgorithm

public void setAlgorithm(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.

setFile

public void setFile(File file)
Sets the file for which the checksum is to be calculated.

setFileext

public void setFileext(String fileext)
Sets the file extension that is be to used to create or identify destination file.

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.

setProperty

public void setProperty(String property)
Sets the property to hold the generated checksum.

setProvider

public void setProvider(String provider)
Sets the MessageDigest algorithm provider to be used to calculate the checksum.

setReadBufferSize

public void setReadBufferSize(int size)
The size of the read buffer to use.

setTodir

public void setTodir(File todir)
Sets the root directory where checksum files will be written/read

Since: Ant 1.6

setTotalproperty

public void setTotalproperty(String totalproperty)
Sets the property to hold the generated total checksum for all files.

Since: Ant 1.6

setVerifyproperty

public void setVerifyproperty(String verifyProperty)
Sets the verify property. This project property holds the result of a checksum verification - "true" or "false"
