Starting and stopping JBoss through Ant tasks

[keefie]

As part of my continuous integration environment I have a need to perform the following sequence,
- start JBoss
- run tests
- stop JBoss
This is because some of the code my JMX MBeans depend upon has not been written in a way that it can be hot deployed.

Please can someone help me find the best way to do this.

Thanks.

OK, I've got it. When I looked more closely at the shutdown script I found org.jboss.Shutdown which, when given the correct parameters, does the sutdown quite nicely. However, it is very weak in it's error handling. For instance, if you omit name and password, which i think are shown as optional parms, it throws and then eats a NullpointerException without letting the user know that anything has gone wrong.

shutdown is fixed in 3.0.7
