Autodeploying war file into WebSphere plugin

I have a rather difficult problem I haven’t been able to solve. We are running Domino 6.5 with the WebSphere 5 plugin. I have been given the task of writing an Ant script to compile a Java application into a war file and then autodeploy it into the WebSphere plugin. I already have an Ant script that already does this for a stand alone WebSphere 6 server. I have modified that script as needed and I can get the necessary war file and ear file built for the deployment.

The problem I have is this: when the WebSphere Ant task is invoked, I get the following errors:

WASX7023E: Error creating “SOAP” connection to host “[domain].com”; exception information: com.ibm.websphere.management.exception.ConnectorNotAvailableException

and

WASX7017E: Exception received while running file “C:\WINNT\TEMP\wsant37133jacl”; exception information: com.ibm.bsf.BSFException: error while eval’ing Jacl expression: com.ibm.ws.scripting.ScriptingException: AdminControl service not available

Can someone please point me to some documentation on how I can accomplish this? I’ve looked around the IBM site without much success in finding it, but I may have overlooked it.

Thanks in advance.

figured it out. One of the other developers here sparked an idea that led me to the SOAP port I had listed as being incorrect. Still haven’t gotten it to work yet, but I’m a lot closer now.
