Hi Robert -
I'm not sure why having the the catalina-ant.jar in your ant libs folder
didn't work, but here's an extract from my build.xml, which works for
me. (obviously you need to set $tomcat.home somewhere - I tend to do it
in a properties file which I DON'T commit to my SCM repos, as it tends
to change from development machine to development machine)
path id=tomcat.classpath
fileset dir=${tomcat.home}/server/lib includes=catalina-ant.jar /
/path
taskdef name=deploy classname=org.apache.catalina.ant.DeployTask
classpath refid=tomcat.classpath /
/taskdef
best

I am sending this message as it was bounced back to me I apologize if for
some reason you receive it twice.
I am trying to install tomcat on red hat enterprise server 8 with ant and
apache. However when trying to run ant (to compile a simple servlet I get
the following error).
Using the simple build file I get the following error trying to run the ant.
I have searched everything I could find on google, and almost certain its a
classpath issue, however I have tried to alter the classpath in several ways
to make what I think are the appropriate jars visible and I am at a loss.
The error is /build.xml:146: taskdef class
org.apache.catalina.ant.DeployTask cannot be found
I have installed the following
Apache/2.0.46 already in place
Jdk1.5.0-03 tar
Tomcat 5.5.9 tar
mod_jk 1.2.10 built so and placed under apache shared objects
Also installed ant version 1.6.3
CATALINA_HOME=/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat
ANT_HOME=/usr/local/apache-ant-1.6.3
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_03
I have already copied the catalina-ant jar from $CATALINA_HOME/server/lib to
$ANT_HOME/lib, I also tried copying the catalina-deployer.jar from the
tomcat deployer into the same location.
If I comment out the taskdefs in the build.xml I can get ant to build.
Here are the lines that are causing failure in to build.xml
taskdef name=deploy classname=org.apache.catalina.ant.DeployTask/
taskdef name=list classname=org.apache.catalina.ant.ListTask/
taskdef name=reload classname=org.apache.catalina.ant.ReloadTask/
taskdef name=undeploy classname=org.apache.catalina.ant.UndeployTask/
If I comment them out then I can run ant. However in order to allow them to
be there I have tried several things, like copying catalina-ant.jar to
$ANT_HOME/lib and placing it in the classpath environment variable also I
tried adding classpath element to each of these tasks, like
taskdef name=deploy classname=org.apache.catalina.ant.DeployTask
classpath
pathelement location=/usr/local/apache-ant-1.6.3/lib/catalina-ant.jar/
pathelement
location=/usr/local/apache-ant-1.6.3/lib/catalina-deployer.jar/
/classpath
/taskdef
However the error persists, as I mentioned I googled this and found that I
should just copy the Catalina-ant.jar and Catalina-deployer.jar to apache
lib directory however this is not solving my problem.
Thanks in advance for any help, RS
