Ant deploy and context.xml
I'm trying to use the ant autodeploy feature with a context.xml fragment in the MET-INF directory. Mailing lists and all the documentation I've read show this to be a no-brainer. I'm sure I'm being ignorant of something incredibly obvious, but I just can't see it. I'm using the basic build.xml file from the Tomcat site. I'm using Tomcat version 5.0.16 In the source directory I have Build Dist Docs Src Web Under web I have META-INF Templates WEB-INF In META-INF I have a context.xml fragment (contents included below). When I do a build, I see that the META-INF directory and the context.xml file gets copied the build directory. But when I do an ant deploy, it does create an xml file in the Catalina conf directory (name of the file when copied is the name of the web app, not context.xml). However, the contents of the this file do not contain the specific configuration information I put in context.xml. In summary, it does not appear as though the deploy task is using my context.xml file when it does the install/deploy. Ideas? Many thanks in advance ..
RE: Ant install tasks
Thanks everyone for your comments. Here is more detail:
I'm using the build.xml directly downloaded from the tomcat 5
documentation. The install task of that build file looks like this:
deploy url=${manager.url}
username=${manager.username}
password=${manager.password}
path=${app.path}
war=file://${build.home}/
I noticed that the war target only has two slashes in it. If I add a
third like Mike shows below, I now get this error:
BUILD FAILED
file:C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/rich/My%20Documents/workbench/java/bu
ild.xml:374: FAIL - Encountered exception java.util.zip.ZipException:
error
in opening zip file
This seems logical as the war target doesn't specify a war file, it
specifies a directory. I haven't tried adding a specific war file yet,
but will in a second...
Feels a little strange though, I never had to modify the build.xml file
from the Tomcat documentation before. I must be doing something wrong??

Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the host be:
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/rich/My%20Documents/workbench/java
/b
uild.xml
the difference being the three slashes between file: and C?

Subject: Ant install tasks
I've used the custom ant tasks to build and install web apps a
zillion
times. However, I'm setting up a new build/test environment on a
fresh
machine and I'm having a problem getting the install task to work. I
can
do all the normal all/compile/dist tasks. plus I can do the LIST
task. I
can also use the HTML manager app to do the install. Just can't do
the
install via ant.
Environment:
Windows XP Pro
jakarta-tomcat-5.0.16
apache-ant-1.5.4
Error:
BUILD FAILED
file:C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/rich/My%20Documents/workbench/java/bu
ild.xml:368: java.net.UnknownHostException: C
I'm nearly 100% the host is correct - it's simply localhost. Plus,
the
list task works fine, so it has to be hitting the correct url to do
that. I've also echoed all the variables being passed to the install
target (in the build.xml), and they look correct.
Running ant with debug doesn't offer much more insight:

RE: Ant install tasks
I'm not sure adding the extra slash is right or not. I don't get the
host exception anymore, but I continue to get the zip error (below).
After looking at my tests, I see that the war file created by ant dist
is 1,149 KB. Yet, when I run ant install, the task is copying a war
file to the webapp directory that is only 1 KB in size. If I run jar
-tvf on that 1KB war file, it shows it's empty.
If I simply copy the war file ant dist creates to the webapp
directory, everything works fine
