Thanks for the pointer, this is how I used this task in my build.xml
file to reload axis.
<property name="catalina.home" value="C:\tomcat41"/>
<taskdef name="reload" classname="org.apache.catalina.ant.ReloadTask">
<classpath>
<pathelement location="${catalina.home}/server/lib/catalina-ant.jar"/>
</classpath>
</taskdef>
<target name="reload">
<reload url="http://localhost:8080/manager";
username="admin" password=""
path="/axis"/>
</target>
