Problem deploying war with ant in glass fish 3.1.1

[jatan bhavsar]

Hi All,

Hope you are fine and doing well.I am trying to deploy war file using glass fish 3.1.1 server.I have made very simple script code is attached for your reference.
I am trying to deploy war file and checking it with admin GUI with http://localhost:4848/..
I cant figure out about the pass word file . I am able to deploy it with asadmin deploy command for cmd.

Please guide me how to make the ant script for this and generate the password file. I cant find the passwordfile.txt but i found it admin-key file describes domain user and password...

Specifically confused with the passwordfile attribute....

<target name="deploy"  description="deploys application to glassfish">
	    <exec executable="cmd">
	   			<arg value="asadmin --user admin 
                                   --passwordfile D:\glassfish3\glassfish\domain1\config\passwordfile.txt 
                                  --host http://localhost:4848/ 
                                   deploy E:\sample.war" />
	    </exec>
	</target>

First, have you run the command from the command line and gotten it to work? You need to do that first. Once it is working, then you can revisit the exec task.

Second, each command line argument should have its own arg entry. In other words:

<exec executable="cmd">
  <arg value="asadmin"/>
  <arg value="--user"/>
  <arg value="admin"/>
  . . .

See that example in the docs at http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/exec.html

Did you modify the <exec> task like I suggested?

Did you try running Ant with the -debug option to see what it is doing? It should print out the exact command being executed.
