CF J2EE Deployment via ANT

[Jimmi]

Is it possible to compile a ColdFusion application into a J2EE EAR file without using the CF Administrator? Is there another way I can run the ANT script to build this EAR file from outside the administrator? We have a strict change management group that handles the compilation of source files to deploy to our Websphere server farm. If I had an ANT script they could run I could maybe get a CF application into our Websphere server farm. I know for sure they will not change their build process to include running a function to build an EAR file from within the CF Administrator.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
JR

You probably want EAR deployment using cfcompile:
