Come on! ant does a lot of things, but asking ant to turn a webapp into a console app is asking for too much. You need to see how the application is structured, If there is a separate business layer then jar all the business layer classes and then write a class with a main method that invokes these business layer functions

It will call a series of validation services and report the results.I have already downloaded and installed Unicorn. To Download the source code it is only available for download from the Mercurial repository. To download it, use the command "hg clone https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/unicorn"; To compile Unicorn, Apache Ant and Ivy are required. From Unicorn's directory, run: "ant retrieve generate_observer generate_tasklist default_conf war" It works fine in apache-tomcat, what I want is how to make the unicorn as console application. The input should passed through command line arguments and output should displayed at console itself I don`t want to use any web server to deploy it. -- Cheers, Ranjith Kumar.K http://ranjithtenz.wordpress.com
