During development, I find it *much* easier to not use WAR files -- just point the install command at your build directory that contains the unpacked webapp. That way, you never have to worry about Tomcat expanding anything. My take on best practices for this are documented in the Application Developer's Guide that ships with Tomcat (including sample build.xml files that do the integration with Ant trick). It's also available online: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/appdev/ Craig McClanahan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
