I am looking for some advice/articles on setting up my struts application so that all members of the team can all work with it. Let me first state my situation/dilemma and let you know what I am looking for.
1. I have a source tree (/home/me/src/struts/projects/project1) outside of the web folder (ie /var/tomcat/webapps) where I am coding. When I change a source file I run `ant build` and `ant reload`, if I just change a web file, I run `ant update`. All of these processes copy the files into the /var/tomcat4/webapps/project1 folder and change the state of the running application (if necessary) 2. My JSP developer, working on his own computer, copies down all the web files, modifies the ones he is working on and ftps them back to the source folder 3. I then have to run `ant update` to move the web files to the container. This is obviously not the way to do things, but we just got started using struts 2 weeks ago and haven't had a chance to organize things. Now it is time to organize things. I am running Eclipse and it makes it very easy to rebuild and restart the application or container, but I am not sure how to handle the case of multiple developers on mutiple computers. In short, how does the JSP developer update the web content and restart the application from a remote computer and still keep the files in sync with what I am working on? I have CVS experience and I guess I could setup CVS, but that still doesn't handle the issue that the source repository is outside of the container and something needs to move the files into the container and possibly restart the applicaiton or container if necessary (if there is a change to struts-config.xml or tiles-definitions.xml). My JSP developer is coming from the viewpoint of just uploading a page and being able to access it, so this is all foreign to him. Since an action must proceed every page, it is necessary to restart the application each time a change to struts-config.xml is made. Plus, the JSP developer has to use struts-console (or edit by hand, prone to error) the struts-config.xml file. I am looking for a tutorial on setting up a team to run struts. Anyone, any info, please!
