I have ANT scripts that I use for building. They have been so successful that I use ANT scripts to start my Java applications as well. Currently, I start a Java application and the GUI application all on one machine (the server) using an ANT script.
I need to move the GUI application to client machines and leave the server application on the server. I want to be able to start those client applications, using an ANT script called from the server. This would be especially useful in the system initialization, where I would like to start all of the clients from the server. Also it would be useful in the case when the client goes down; I want to be able to restart the application from the server. ********************************************************************** > I am a new user. Is there a way to remotely call an Ant script? > For example, can the server call an Ant script that lives on the > client? This really depends on your use case, please provide more details. For example, it is possible to: - invoke ant via SSH (secure shell) - invoke Ant automatically on build slaves from a continuous integration server (such as Hudson) - etc. Kind regards, Ernst de Haan PensioenPage B.V. www.pensioenpage.com
