Ant with WebSphere (WSADMIN) and SSH

[Nick Neuberger <Ni...@sncc.com>]

I'm trying to automate deployement to websphere via SSH and it looks like I
can't call multiple sshexec in a row.  This causes the ssh to make a new
connection.

The first sshexec causes a    wsadmin> (prompt) for the user.  Thus, the ant
task never returns unless if using the timeout attribute.

Am I overlooking an option in the sshexec task??  I was hoping the this task
would be similar to the telnet task.  (ie.  can't use telnet task because of
security reasons.).

Any thoughts......Should I just create a shell script and do everything from
the shell script????

	<target name="stopSSH">
		<echo message="****** Stopping via SSH... ******"/>
		<echo message="applicationName=${applicationName}"/>
		<echo message="user.id=${user.id} pw=${password}"/>

		<sshexec trust="true" failonerror="false" timeout="15000"
host="${targetMachine}" username="${user.id}" password="${password}"
command="/opt/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/wsadmin.sh"/>
		<sshexec trust="true" host="${targetMachine}"
username="${user.id}" password="${password}" command="set appman
[$AdminControl queryNames type=ApplicationManager,process=server1,*]"/>
		<sshexec trust="true" host="${targetMachine}"
username="${user.id}" password="${password}" command="$AdminControl invoke
$appman stopApplication {${applicationName}}"/>
		<sshexec trust="true" host="${targetMachine}"
username="${user.id}" password="${password}" command="exit"/>
		<sshexec trust="true" host="${targetMachine}"
username="${user.id}" password="${password}" command="exit"/>
	</target>

I got the idea from WebSphereAdvisor.com (magazine) subscription.  It shows
to use the Telnet task....bummer for me.
		
Thanks,
