RE: Ant & Websphere App Server

["Price, Chris" <chris_price@xxxxxxxxx>]

Currently our nightly build Ant script creates a .war file, and
automatically deploys it to a local tomcat server. Then someone has to
manually deploy the .war to WAS running on the iSeries the following day.

I have been tasked with finding out how we can automate the deployment of
the .war to WAS, from ant.

Chris,

Are you using WDSc? I used to run Ant directly from Qshell and wrote a

command to support that, but with recent versions of Eclipse and soon 
WDSc you can run Ant directly against a mapped drive on your iSeries.
The new version of WDSc is due to be released at the end of this
month.
If you can describe what you are trying to do, I bet we could help you

with an Ant script.

I notice that WAS 5.0 has some built-in Ant tasks, allowing you to
automatically deploy an application to WAS as part of an ANT build.

Unfortunately I'm stuck to using WAS 4.0. 

Has anyone worked out a way of deploying a Web App, via Ant to an
iSeries
running WAS 4.0? 

Will the WAS 5.0 tasks work with WAS 4.0?


Alternatively, if I have to write my own ant task(s), would anyone be
interested in a) helping or b) the results. I'm wondering whether a
combination of the iSeries Toolbox, and the Websphere Tools
(http://www.ignite400.org/html/opensource/was/index.htm) will do the
trick.
Anyone have any better suggestions?

Thanks,
Chris.
