    ws_ant commands for WebSphere ant.

    The table below lists the available ant tasks which can be used in ant build scripts to automate administration of certain areas of WebSphere. WebSphere also provides a command line tool called ws_ant.sh (Unix) or ws_ant.bat (Windows) which can be used to set up an ant shell. You configure the automation task as you would any ant task using a build.xml file.

    If you want total control of WebSphere you must use Jython using the wsadmin,sh or wsadmin.bat commands.

    Here are some links from my site:
