I need to automate the process of deploying my EAR on WAS using ANT. Any tasks to do so.
ANT 1.6.2 and WAS 5.1

Ant covers the basics you'll need - those universal tasks like copying, jaring, compiling etc. But WAS being WAS you will need to use the extra taskdefs IBM supply with WAS. Check the docs in the InfoCenter if you haven't already. You'll have to learn about WSAdmin too, if you don't already know how to use it.

I already get my EAR using ANT. But thereafter I deploy the EAR on WAS manually using the WAS AdminConsole. This is wat I need to automate

Pratik,
I'm not sure if IBM offers a custom Ant task for this or not. If not, you could automate deployment with a jacl/wsadmin script and have Ant call that.

Pratik and Franck,
When you get a chance, can you edit your display name so it isn't in all caps.

On the Internet, all caps is viewed as shouting - certainly not what you are intending!

Thanks,
Jeanne

IBM provides a "wsInstallApp" task.

You could also write a jacl script to install the ear and then have ant call a batch or shell script that executes the jacl script. It sounds like a lot of work but I find it better than the ant task. Plus you will have to go this route if you ever plan on using WAS ND and want an automated process to deploy your ear. You could also use Jython instead of jacl.
