Use ANT to deploy webservice to WebSphere 5.xx

| I feel difficulties to deploy WebService to WAS without having WSAD or Eclipse (with WSDK_51 plugin). I want to use ANT script to build my Java code and create WebService wrapper for the Java bean class. The best choice is to have special ANT task or in w
orse scenario a command line utility. BEA provides ANT tasks for WebLogic that makes WS deployment an easiest task but it seems that IBM does not have any tool to automatically build a deploy WebServices. WS Application server is provided with few command
line utilities that can generate some deployment files but it is necessary to correct these files by hand afterwards. WSDK_v51 also contains some utilities but it is extremely difficult (if is possible) to force them to generate WebService wrapper from A
NT script. So my point that WebSphere has pretty limited web services development support. Is it true or I missed something?

WebSphere has extensive web services development support. It's called
WebSphere Studio Application Developer. If you don't want to use that
tool, then you're pretty much on your own.

| I use to for IBM 2.5 years. And off course I know this tool and have big ex=
perience of using it. Problem is that I don=92t work for IBM right now. My =
new company is considering the different application servers to be a produc=
tion environment for our health insurance software. The development price i=
s very valuable argument. So WSAD installation price is about 5-6K per inst=
allation. Company by some reason could not afford this price. But it seems =
that we have not got an alternatives except using WebLogic in this particul=
ar case. Believe it or not =96 I really want to stick with WAS but unfortun=
ately it is impossible because total price of Development tools and product=
ion servers is to high for my bosses. If I can create ANT script that could=
be run in the Netbeans it helps me to convince them to choose WAS instead =
of WebLogic.

Thanks for posting this. I know lots of developers are using Ant to do
builds.
