Ant & Websphere App Server

["Price, Chris" <chris_price@xxxxxxxxx>]

I notice that WAS 5.0 has some built-in Ant tasks, allowing you to
automatically deploy an application to WAS as part of an ANT build.

Unfortunately I'm stuck to using WAS 4.0. 

Has anyone worked out a way of deploying a Web App, via Ant to an iSeries
running WAS 4.0? 

Will the WAS 5.0 tasks work with WAS 4.0?


Alternatively, if I have to write my own ant task(s), would anyone be
interested in a) helping or b) the results. I'm wondering whether a
combination of the iSeries Toolbox, and the Websphere Tools
(http://www.ignite400.org/html/opensource/was/index.htm) will do the trick.
Anyone have any better suggestions?

Thanks,
Chris.
