With Ant script you can do whatever you like. But maybe you meant with
the <cactus> task? If that's the question then the answer is no.
Currently the cactus task does not *directly* supports WebSphere.
However, you can still use it for starting websphere using the <generic>
nested tag.

See the doc on the cactus web site.

Unfortunately, I am not a WebSphere user. I guess you have 2 choices:

- you either need to find out the websphere java class containing the
main() method. You'll also need to know the system properties to pass to
it. The way to find this information is by looking at your existing
websphere startup scripts

- directly call the websphere startup script from within your start and
stop targets, using <exec>

Thanks Vincent, I read the docs It says 
    <generic name="My Container" port="8080">
      <startup target="mycontainer.start"/>
      <shutdown target="mycontainer.stop"/>
    </generic>

I would like know how can I implement mycontainer.start  and  
mycontainer.stop using websphere. the docs says

How these targets are implemented is highly dependant on the container. 
Most likely you'll need to copy some files and use the <java> task to 
invoke a container-provided Java class that can start/stop the container. 
any idea about this.
thanks for the reply.
