In certain instances, you may need to execute some specific tasks before or after publishingthe Business Process Server applications. In this case, you need to create a custom publishing XML file with appropriate Apache ANT targets.
To do this task:
1. Create a copy of the existing appbuild.xml file.
2. Name the file appropriately.
3. Add code to call the custom ANT targets from the ‘deployApp’ target using the <antcall> tag.
If the custom target needs to be called before any of the applications are published, then you must add the <antcall> tag for this target before the corresponding <antcall> tag for the ‘extractandDeploy’ target. Alternatively, you can add the <antcall> tag for this target after the corresponding <antcall> tag for the ‘extractandDeploy’ target, if the custom target needs to be called after publishing.
