I want to package and deploy Java webservice on websphere 5.1. I dont have WSAD to automate the build process and to generate the Websphere specific deployable ear.
Could you help me with the pointer/ tool or ANT script to generate ear specific to the Websphere?
I am not sure but i think this link might be of interest to you. It says it adds support for websphere 6.0 sever (among others) to netbeans ide so i assume that it will provide websphere specific ejb-jar and web xml configurations too.
It seems unlikely that netbeans serverplugins will support websphere 5.1 as i read on this thread. You may also have a look at myeclipseide. It seems to be affordable option.
