how to install application thru ant task?

[Smith Magadia]

Hi,

I've been trying to install application thru ant task and obviously I need help! Please let me know what wrong with my code and how to properly do that.

Below is my sample build ant code:

<taskdef name="wsInstallApp" classname="com.ibm.websphere.ant.tasks.InstallApplication"/>

<target name="install">
<wsInstallApp ear="${ear.path}"/>
<wsStartApp application="${ant.project.name}"/>
</target>


And here are the log messages:

install:
[wsInstallApp] Installing Application [C:\smith\projects\motiva\Development\Sour
ce\original\motiva.war]...

I'm sorry, my sample ant code:

<taskdef name="wsInstallApp" classname="com.ibm.websphere.ant.tasks.InstallApplication"/>

<target name="install">
<wsInstallApp ear="${ear.path}"/>
<wsStartApp application="${ant.project.name}"/>
</target>

[Smith Magadia]

<taskdef name="wsInstallApp" classname="com.ibm.websphere.ant.tasks.InstallApplication"/>
<target name="install">
<wsInstallApp ear="${ear.path}"/>
<wsStartApp application="${ant.project.name}"/>
</target>

Smith,
To get the ant code to display, you need to escape the < as &lt; and the > as &gt;. Eric, one of our bartenders, has a web page that lets you cut and paste code into it to escape the characters for you.
