Since your are asking about ant tasks supplied with WLS, you might get better results form the WLS forum. Moving.

Here's what you need to do:

1. Open command prompt, add ant in your classpath
2. Then navigate to <Weblogic_domain>\bin from same command prompt, and call setDomainEnv.cmd or .sh
3. and now from same command prompt fire your ant xml conatining wlserver task.

Hope it helps.
