  thread). Or even use cactus. They don't support ATG Dynamo out of the box, but 
  if you already know how to start/stop the app server from ant, supporting it 
  should be trivial. See http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/cactus/servlets.html.

+ Ant 1.3 is designed to block until the task completes.
+ 
+ Ant 1.4 (to be released soon) supports multithreading. You will be able to do 
+ something like this
+ 
+ <target name="test">
+    <parallel>
+       <exec startATG/>
+       <sequential>
+          <sleep for a while/> <!-- wait for server to come up -->
+          <test server/>
+          <exec stopATG/>
+       </sequential>
+    </parallel>
+ </target>
+ 
+ This starts two threads - one to run the server and one to test and then stop 
+ the server. The <parallel> container will still block until all threads within 
+ have completed. 
+ 
+ A non-blocking container is probably possible but will not be considered for 
+ the 1.4 release.
