I want to factorize two ant targets (deploy/undeploy). The only
difference is that they call a java class with a different parameter
(a wsdd file). Here is a snippet of the working ant build.xml file:

<project name="MyProject" default="compile" basedir=".">
        ...
        <path id="project.adminclient.classpath">
              ...
        </path>

        
        <target name="deploy">
                <java classname="org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient">
                        <arg value="A"/>
                        <arg value="B"/>
                        <arg value="deploy.wsdd"/>
                        <classpath refid="project.adminclient.classpath" />
                </java>
        </target>
  
        <target name="undeploy">
                <java classname="org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient">
                        <arg value="A"/>
                        <arg value="B"/>
                        <arg value="undeploy.wsdd"/>
                        <classpath refid="project.adminclient.classpath" />
                </java>
        </target>
        
</project>

I thought I could facorize the <java> tag to something like:

<project name="MyProject" default="compile" basedir=".">
        ...
        <path id="project.adminclient.classpath">
              ...
        </path>
        
        <java id="project.adminclient.execute"
classname="org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient">
                        <arg value="A"/>
                        <arg value="B"/>
                        <classpath refid="project.adminclient.classpath" />
        </java>

        
        <target name="deploy">
                <java refid="project.adminclient.execute">
                        <arg value="deploy.wsdd"/>
                </java>
        </target>
  
        <target name="undeploy">
                <java refid="project.adminclient.execute">
                        <arg value="undeploy.wsdd"/>
                </java>
        </target>
        
</project>

The call of the <java> tag works but the problem is that the parameter
(wsdd-file) isn't passed to the <java> tag.

Can you say me how one would do this?

Thank you very much!
