Running Ant from a web page
Hi,
Can anyone suggest ways of running an Ant target from a webpage, ideally
being able to send data back as part of an HTML page as well (perhaps using
the echo task)?
Cheers,
Dave.

Can you tell us how to get to it? Google seems to point to java.net but my
login won't let me get there.

Hi,
Try ApolloWorks - it runs Ant within the servlet container and produces
pretty-printed log files. If you're looking to run multiple builds and
display the results then it will work straight out of the box.
If you've got something else in mind then let me know what it is you're
trying to do and I'll see what I can dig out of the toolbox (I came up
with a zillion ways that weren't quite right before we finally cut the
release :) ).
Good luck,
John.

Probably should check out the AntHill project - its opensource so you could
see how they do things.... http://sourceforge.net/projects/anthill/

Sorry correction on the URL - the sourceforge link seems pretty dead.
http://www.urbancode.com/projects/anthill/default.jsp
You can access the free version through CVS - look under the "Get Involved"
link.

The simplest thing I can think of...
As Ant is a java tool, you should be able to call the class directly from your servlet. You could also write a custom task to write the results to a file and then forward your servlet to a JSP that includes that file in its page.
