I am accepting any information about this topic.
I�ve AAT to generate the assembly for WAS 5.0 but i would like to use ANT to do the deployment.

Iam thankful Gil

Websphere deployment outside WSAD is one of the 6 basic mysteries of the universe.....

IBM does a lot of stinky things in their custom deployment descriptor files. Things including generated artifact names including magic numbers.

There is an IBM tool which can do this for you as part of a build, but I forget the name. Otherwise the solution is to build and deploy into Websphere using the proper version of WSAD. I suspect that after you do this you can capture the IBM-specific DD's from the generated EAR and put them under source code control. With enough tweaking you ought to be able to do a build and deploy outside WSAD - until you change the system architecture.

As our good friend and Bartender Kyle Brown always points out, "wsadmin is the only way to go" for automated deploys. Write some wsadmin scripts and invoke it with the Ant exec task. That way you can do the deploy with or without invoking Ant.

David, do you know which wsadmin demand actually generates the WLS-specific deployment-descriptors? Are there any examples available on the net that you're aware of?

I will try it!
Thank�s
