It's already possible to validate the generated files against the DTDs (not sure about the schema based ones, but if they don't work then open an issue in JIRA) using the validateXML parameter on the subtask(s). See the samples' build script for some examples of this. Beyond that, it's out of our scope to automatically deploy to each app server; we're a code generator, not a server management tool :-) Besides, they each do it differently, some just need the jar copying to the right place, others need you to generate stubs & skeletons, etc. You may find that many of them have their own deploy utilities that can be automated, though (e.g. Sybase's EAServer comes with a bunch of custom Ant tasks that can be used for all these things). There's an app server management JSR on the go, which would make all this easier since there'll be a single API you can use for all the servers, but I'm not sure which version of the J2EE spec that'll end up in.
