Include transform

This topic tells you about the Application Accelerator Include transform in Tanzu Application Platform (commonly known as TAP).

The Include transform retains files based on their path, letting in only those files whose path matches at least one of the configured patterns. The contents of files, and any of their other characteristics, are unaffected.

Include is a basic building block seldom used as is, which makes sense if composed inside a Chain or a Merge. It is often more convenient to leverage the shorthand notation offered by Combo.

Syntax reference

patterns: [<ant pattern>]
condition: <SpEL expression>

Examples
