Thanks for this. I want to clarify few things. So in clearcase, if I add to ibm-web-ext.xmi fileServingEnabled="${webapp.fileServingEnabled}" ,
<target name="fileServingEnabled"> <replace file="${web.deploy.dir}/WEB-INF/ibm-web-ext.xmi" fileServingEnabled="${webapp.fileServingEnabled}" /> <echo message="Destination : ${manifest.dest.dir}"/> <mkdir dir="${manifest.dest.dir}"/> <copy file="${temp.dir}/MANIFEST.MF" todir="${manifest.dest.dir}"/> <delete file="${temp.dir}/MANIFEST.MF" failonerror="false"/> </target> Our war build file looks like this: <target name="waraftercompile"> <fail unless="war.prefix" message="${missing.property} war.prefix"> This property is used to name the war file. If the war.prefix setting is set to myApp then the war target will output a myApp.war file. </fail> <fail unless="web.dir" message="${missing.property} web.dir"> This directory should point to the root directory of the web application. </fail> <fail unless="web.classes.includes" message="${missing.property} web.classes.includes"> This property is used to determine which files from the classes directory should be copied into the web.dir/classes directory.

Normally this will include files such as *.jsp, *.properties, *.xml, *.xsl, etc... </fail> <fail unless="web.excludes" message="${missing.property} web.excludes"> This property is used to determine which files from the web.dir directory will NOT be copied into the war file. Normally this will include files such such as *.keep, ~*~ and other temporary files. This target will copy the deployment descriptors from the deploy directory into the WEB-INF folder of the web application. If you would like to maintain the descriptors in the WEB-INF folder than you must change the web.deploy.dir property to point to your WEB-INF folder. </fail> <delete file="${build.dir}\${war.prefix}.war" failonerror="false"/> <delete dir="${web.dir}/WEB-INF/classes" failonerror="false"/> <copy todir="${web.dir}/WEB-INF/classes"> <fileset dir="${classes.dir}" includes="${web.classes.includes}" excludes="${web.classes.excludes}"> <include name="com/**/*.class"/> </fileset> </copy> <fail unless="web.deploy.dir" message="${missing.property} web.deploy.dir"> This property identifies the location of the folder that contains the WEB-INF directory.

It should be located in the web.deploy.dir/WEB-INF folder. </fail> <available file="${web.deploy.dir}/WEB-INF/ibm-web-bnd.xmi" property="ibm-web-bnd.xmi.available"/> <fail unless="ibm-web-bnd.xmi.available" message="${missing.file} ibm-web-bnd.xmi"> This file is a required deployment descriptor for a web application in WebSphere.

The main catch is that the fileServingEnabled should be false in the clearcase and should only change for the build,ie just before the creation of war. I am a newbie to ANT, so please correct me where I go wrong.
