* Side Note *
One of the coolest features of Ant is the ability to use your existing
environment variables within the build script. Although I stopped using
this because I didn't want to "effectively" hard-code where TOMCAT_HOME was
on my OS.
I just let tomcat pick up the default (./) and run with it.
That way I can specify which tomcat version to deploy and run in the build
script.
I have also seen this taken a step forward where you can supply which
version on the command line that fires off your build script.
Anyway, this is just a generic example of what I commonly use. (Consider it
a beginners template)
Once you get familiar with the standard Ant tasks try out a few of the
optional ones, you can do just about anything from automated ftp to
compiling and running your favorite c# project (although I highly recommend
you stay away from that one ;=)
**If this doesn't help, I can set up the struts-example for you (standalone
directory structure) with its own build.xml.
Here goes, my directory structure looks like this....
+-struts-test
+-bak <-quick backups
+-jsp <-all jsp files
+-project-files <-files such as db schema and jokes from Mark
+-src <- .java files
+-WEB-INF <-should be obvious
+-classes <-same
+-lib <-same
and here's the build.xml
Search for all the ### you see and replace it with your info.
