good day background: i am working on a very large project, that is about to enter the system testing phase. this will require the deployment of our application into a QA and a Production environment. we have everything in place and ready to go with the QA envrionment. one HUGE problem with the Production environment: the company I am working for has classified ANT as a 'build' tool and thus can NOT be installed on the Production machine. we are using ant scripts to deploy to WebSphere Application Server 4.0 on these environments.
therefore, we are attempting to do a REMOTE deployment from the QA box to the Production box. inside our deployment we are actually packaging ant (hiding it so to speak) and are then going to remotely call the ant deployment scripts from the QA box on the Production box. however, the <telnet> task is very archaic in the fact you must repeatedly send out <read> calls to make sure the session is active. This makes the particualr process very cumbersome. procedure question the question is: is there anyway to accomplish the remote call of ant from one machine to another without the repetitive <read> calls? Is this the best and only way to accomplish this?? M Damon Hill Integrator : TURBO/Jets Valtech Technoloies, Inc.
