So this is how it is done in ant. The snippet below reduces significantly
the cost of redeployment since it avoids war creation, and unzipping. In my
(very slow) machine the difference is from 21sec to 4-5sec. In faster
machines the difference may be negligible.
This snippet below will not work for classpath changes, jar library
changes, web.xml changes. So it has limited development utility to speed up
the dev cycle.
+ <taskdef name="reload"
classname="org.apache.catalina.ant.ReloadTask" >
+ <classpath refid="tomcat.classpath" />
+ </taskdef>
+
...
+
+ <target name="dreload" description="dev reload: reload to private
development tomcat instance">
+ <echo message="Syncing classes..."/>
+ <sync
todir="${user.home}/tomcat/webapps/${ant.project.name}/WEB-INF/classes"
verbose="true">
+ <fileset dir="war/WEB-INF/classes"/>
+ </sync>
+ <echo message="Reloading in port ${port}"/>
+ <reload url="http://localhost:${port}/manager/text";
username="${manager_username}" password="${manager_password}"
path="/${webapp}" />
+ </target>
</project>
