Web Services and Ant Scripts [message #176171]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows if its possible to run Ant scripts from
a Web Service (with a Tomcat server)? If possible, how would I go about
doing this?

I looked at using AntRunner, but that seems to run Ant Builds inside
Eclipse, so I don't think I can use that (unless I am mistaken?).

Thanks for any tips/advice you can give me,
Alex

You can run Ant tasks, they're just Java classes. You need to
instantiate a project and so on. What are you trying to do and how is
this related to Eclipse WTP?

I have a Ant script that calls a Java program which parses a file. My
end goal is to be able to call this Ant script from a web service.

I thought it would relate to WTP because I am developing a Dynamic Web
Project with bottom up Java bean Web Service using the Eclipse WTP. If I
am posting in the wrong forum, my apologies.

Thanks,
Alex

I would bypass Ant and call the Java program from your Web service
directly.
