Using sun-appserv-deploy without asant

Question

Hello,
I want to use the sun-appserv-deploy ant task without having to use asant.
I've got the following taskdefs:
  <taskdef name="sun-appserv-deploy"
           classpathref="sunone.classpath"
           classname="org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.sun.appserv.DeployTask"
  />
  <taskdef name="sun-appserv-undeploy"
           classpathref="sunone.classpath"
           classname="org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.sun.appserv.UndeployTask"
  />
  <taskdef name="sun-appserv-admin"
           classpathref="sunone.classpath"
           classname="org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.sun.appserv.AdminTask"
  />Running the following target with these I get the following error:
target:<target name="sunone-deploy">
    <sun-appserv-deploy
      precompilejsp="${sunone.precompilejsp}"
      verify="${sunone.verify}"
      upload="${sunone.upload}"
      force="${sunone.force}">
        <server
          host="${sunone.host}"
          port="${sunone.port}"
          user="${sunone.user}"
          password="${sunone.password}"
          instance="${sunone.instance}"
        />
      <component file="${component.file}"/>
    </sun-appserv-deploy>
  </target>error:build.xml:34: A Sun Java System Application Server 8 admin CLI class could not be found (com.s
un.enterprise.cli.framework.InputsAndOutputs).  Use the asinstalldir attribute, set the asinstall.dir property, or add t
he appropriate JARs to the classpath.So I've added the asinstalldir property to to the script as follows but I still get the error.
<sun-appserv-deploy
      precompilejsp="${sunone.precompilejsp}"
      verify="${sunone.verify}"
      upload="${sunone.upload}"
      force="${sunone.force}"
      asinstalldir="${sunone.home}">

Why don't you try out the other two suggestions in the error message? Setting the server classpath should work!
