I haven't used those tasks but they will probably not work. Looking at the comments in the code (with are very little and leave a lot to the imagination) it would appear that the Tomcat management interfacei s used to facilitate the deploy, and that will not work with JBoss AS. Usually, I just use the copy task and copy the WAR file, or the exploded WAR directory to the server/xxx/deploy directory. If you used the exploded directory form, make sure to use the .war extension for hte directory name (Tomcat doesn't require that the directory have a .war extension, but JBoss AS does).

I do this with the following ant targets:

<!--  GENERAL TARGETS  in a global file to import --->

  <!-- used for deploy targets to qualify the applications lib and deploy directory -->

  <property name="jboss.application.dir" value="server/myApp"/>

  <property name="jboss.application.deploy.dir" value="${jboss.application.dir}/deploy"/>

  <property name="jboss.application.lib.dir" value="${jboss.application.dir}/lib"/>

  <property name="jboss.application.conf.dir" value="${jboss.application.dir}/conf"/>

<!--  ===  check the JBoss environment for deploying targets  ===  -->

  <target name="jboss.environment">

    <condition property="jboss.home" value="${env.JBOSS_HOME}">

      <isset property="env.JBOSS_HOME" />

    </condition>

    <fail unless="jboss.home">

      'jboss.home' is not set. Set the 'jboss.home' property or create an

      environmental variable called 'JBOSS_HOME' pointing to the top-level

      JBoss installation directory.

    </fail>

    <available property="jboss.present" file="${jboss.home}/bin/run.jar" />

    <fail unless="jboss.present">

      Property "jboss.home" or 'JBOSS_HOME' is set but it does not seem to

      point to the right directory. The file "run.jar" must be available at

      ${jboss.home}/bin.

    </fail>

  </target>

<!-- use and deploy -->

  <target name="deploy" depends="jboss.environment, package" description="Deploy the persistence to the JBOSS_HOME server">

    <copy file="${my.ear}" todir="${jboss.home}/${jboss.application.deploy.dir}"/>

    <copy file="${myLib.jar}" todir="${jboss.home}/${jboss.application.lib.dir}"/>

<echo level="warning" message="==  It is recommended to restart JBoss if the libraries are changed  =="/>

</target>
