There are also the ant tasks in the catalina-ant.jar (or something close)
file that is distributed with tomcat. This makes for some easy integration
with ant.

Please respond to
"Struts Users
Mailing List"
Personally, I use aliases in my .bashrc file (if on Windows, use cygwin):
alias tstart='$CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.bat'
alias tstop='$CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.bat'
Then I can just to tstop and tstart from the command line and start/stop
tomcat. However, if you *really* want to do it from Ant, here's what I
have
for Cactus:
<!-- ===================================================================
-->
<!-- Start Tomcat 4.x
-->
<!-- ===================================================================
-->
<target name="start.tomcat">
<java classname="org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap" fork="yes">
<jvmarg value="-Dcatalina.home=${tomcat.home}"/>
<!--arg value="-config"/>
<arg value="${basedir}/
${out.server.dir}/conf/server.xml"/-->
<arg value="start"/>
<classpath>
<fileset dir="${tomcat.home}">
<include name="bin/bootstrap.jar"/>
<include name="server/catalina.jar"/>
</fileset>
</classpath>
</java>
</target>
<!-- ===================================================================
-->
<!-- Stop Tomcat 4.x
-->
<!-- ===================================================================
-->
<target name="stop.tomcat">
<java classname="org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap" fork="yes">
<jvmarg value="-Dcatalina.home=${tomcat.home}"/>
<arg value="stop"/>
<classpath>
<fileset dir="${tomcat.home}">
<include name="bin/bootstrap.jar"/>
<include name="server/catalina.jar"/>
</fileset>
</classpath>
</java>
</target>
