JBoss Build tasks for deployment

[elangovans]

Hi, I am new to JBoss. I have been searching to see the JBoss build tasks to deploy the EJB's and create descriptiors using XDoclet (Is it possible?) or XSLT. So Please,

1) direct me to any documentation regarding to the Ant Build tasks.
2) show me any sample build scripts build and deploy
3) Is it possible to use XDoclet to generate the descriptors?
4) Is there any templates for generating the descriptors?

Thanks in advance. Greatly appreciate your help.

I picked up a copy of the book JBoss at Work, A Practical Guide by Tom Marrs and Scott Davis, published by O'Reilly. This books seems to cover all of the areas that you mentioned. I used the chapter on web services to build a small EJB application with a web service front end, using XDoclets to specify EJB and web services information.

Thanks Peter. Will check out the book.

Meanwhile, Is there an JBoss ant task which is equivalent to WLDeploy (in WebLogic)?

Thanks

Since deploying to JBoss is simply a matter of copying the war/ear file (or directory) to, for example, server/default/deploy, I use the 'copy' task.
