Passing paramter from ANT to shell script doesn't seems to work for me;Help

Question

Hi,
what iam "trying" to do is to pass some variables from my ANT script to a shell script. This is what iam doing with my 3 files. Iam getting errors when iam doing this.
1) build.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<project name="dev" default="all" basedir=".">
    <!-- (2) Create the class path -->
    <path id="common.class.path">
        <pathelement
location="/opt/bea/weblogic81/server/lib/weblogic.jar"/>
    </path>
    <!-- create a reference for the class path utilized -->
    <property file="./myAnt.properties"/>
    <property name="common.class.path" refid="common.class.path" />
    <property name="Deploy.scripts.folder" value=
"/opt/bea/weblogic81/server/bin/applicat
ions" />
    <property name="1" value="${ANTPATCH}" />
    <property name="2" value="${WEBLOGICJAR}" />
    <property name="3" value="${ADMINPORTNUMBER}" />
    <property name="4" value="${HOSTNAME}" />
    <target name="xyz">
        <echo message="***********deployment**********"/>
        <property name="general.deployment.script.name"
value="${general.script}" />
    </target>
    <target name="sangitatest">
        <echo message="This is the TESTNET box"/>
        <exec dir="${Deploy.scripts.folder}"
executable="${Deploy.scripts.folder}/${genera
l.deployment.script.name}" />
        <arg line="${1}"/>
        <arg line="${2}"/>
        <arg line="${3}"/>
        <arg line="${4}"/>
    </target>
    <target name="all" depends="xyz,sangitatest" />
</project>---------------------------------------
2) myAnt.properties file:
general.script=deployScript.sh
ANTPATCH=/opt/bea/wlserver6.1/lib/latest_deploy.jar
WEBLOGICJAR=/opt/bea/wlserver6.1/lib/weblogic.jar
ADMINPORT-NUMBER1=7001
HOSTNAME=reliant2-----------------------------------------
3) deployScript.sh file:
export ANTPATCH=$1
export WEBLOGICJAR=$2
export ADMINPORTNUMBER=$3
export HOSTNAME=$4
java -cp "$ANT-PATCH":"$WEBLOGIC-JAR" weblogic.deploy -port
"$ADMIN-PORT-NUMBER" -host "$HOSTNAME" -component testMon:beamon_biko_s1 deploy
weblogic testMon /export/home/san5sxs/applications/beamon/myfile.war-------------------
and the Exception is:
[echo] This is the TESTNET box
[exec] /opt/bea/weblogic81/server/bin/applications/deployScript.sh: ANTPATCH=: is not an identifier
[exec] Result: 1
BUILD FAILED
file:/opt/bea/weblogic81/server/bin/build.xml:30: Could not create task or type of type: arg.
Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies upon.
any help in this matter ??
regards,
sangita

Have you looked at [url http://ant.apache.org/]ant's website
That's apache's ant. I'm not sure if there are others or not.
if so, here is the mailing list [url http://ant.apache.org/mail.html]info
