DK,
Actually it depends on which task you run in the ANT build process:
tomcat.build >> builds a complete tomcat instance for HTTP/HTTPS, deployed
wars containing compiled jars, swfs, jsp, SSO configuration, all compiled in
one task.
flex.build >> builds a war file containing all the precompiled flex SWF files
and typically HTML/JSP
services.build >> builds a war file containing all jars and a completely
configured AXIS instance.
All these tasks have built in dependencies to one another. Downward it gets
more fine grained as you can build each SWF individually or in a batch.
1. Checkout /{project}/trunk
2. ant tomcat.build
3. Go to Starbucks! About 3-15 minutes.
4. \tc2\bin\startTomcat.bat
Ready for development or deployment.
It is a seriously a cool process and clients are blown away by it. Basically if
a physical server goes down, your 15 minutes from having a complete build of
the entire site and server configured.

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 1.5 apps...deploying
thanks Dave.
got the picture now I think. Sounds like when these Ant tasks of
yours fire and build a WAR, they include the Flex app in the WAR, eh?
But the Ant tasks nab the Flex app from the local file system not CVS.
kewl.
by 'Flex app' here I mean the Flex app server, not the mxml, as, jsp
files comprising the 'Flex based' app.
