My question is similar to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1861569/avoiding-re-building-prerequisites-in-ant">avoiding-re-building-prerequisites-in-ant</a>, except that my need doesn't involve created objects, but processes invoked, so the solutions discussed there won't work for me. At least I think so - but I'm new to ant. My situation is that I'm writing a set of ant targets, and I need the lets-call-it setup target to be executed once and only once, no matter which target is invoked. Here's a greatly simplified example: <pre><code> <?xml version="1.0"?> <project name="Ant_Test" basedir="."> <target name="setup"> <echo message="In setup" /> </target> <target name="do.several" depends="setup"> <echo message="In do.several, calling do.first" /> <antcall target="do.first" /> <echo message="In do.several, calling do.second" /> <antcall target="do.second" /> </target> <target name="do.first" depends="setup"> <echo message="In do.first" /> </target> <target name="do.second" depends="setup"> <echo message="In do.second" /> </target> </project> </code></pre> I need setup to be invoked exactly once, regardless of whether do.several, do.first, or do.second are invoked. With my naive attempt above, invoking do.several results in three calls to setup. I've thought of setting a property (let's call it setup.has.been.invoked), and using that to conditionally invoke setup from within each target, but it appears that property setting is limited to the scope it's done in, so if in setup, I set setup.has.been.invoked to true, that value only exists within setup. What am I missing? Is there a section of the tutorials or online documentation I've skipped? Any pointers or hints?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
