It sounds like it should be possible. The idea with waitfor is that
there's a set of sub-elements that define the conditions you are waiting
for. Currently these are:
<http> Wait for a URL to become available
<socket> Wait for a server to listen on a port
<file> Wait for a file to exist
I'll have a look at adding an additional <output> condition for
detecting certain text in a text stream based on the reference you sent.
Perhaps something like this:
<waitfor>
<output text="WebLogic Server started"/>
</waitfor>
I'll have a proper think about it later....
