Installing the task

The purpose of the deploytask is simply to have the functionality to deploy par files from an Ant script. I order for this to work you of course need to place dynpageplus-sapep-deploytask-1.0.jar within reach of the classloader for Ant. This is easiest done simply by putting the file in <ANT_HOME>/lib, or if you'er using the Ant embedded in eclipse, just add the jarfile to Ant's runtime classpath under Window -> prefrence -> Ant.

To obtain the needed jar file you could eather check the project out of CVS and build it, or you can download the binary version here: dynpageplus-sapep-deploytask-1.0.jar.

Writing the taskdef and using it

Another thing you need to do is to write a <taskdef> for your buildscript. This should look something like this:

<taskdef classname="net.sf.dynpageplus.ant.Deploytask name="deployer"/>

If you have the dynpageplus-sapep-deploytask-1.0.jar located anywhere else than <ANT_HOME>/lib, then you need to refrence it in a nested <classpath> element.

Next you need to use the depoyer in a target. That could look something like this:

<target name="deploy">
    <echo>Deploying par file</echo>
    <deployer
        host="portal.company.com"
        port="50000"
        username="administrator"
        password="password"
        parfile="path-to-par-file"/>

</target>

I've included the <target> for completeness.
