Howdy, Add a valid web.xml to your war file and try again ;)

i tried adding the one below, but no joy :(
same unzip problem as before:
install:
[deploy] FAIL - Encountered exception java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file
but, the myapp.war that ends up in akarta-tomcat-5.0.16\webapps/ is only 36 bytes long, so something else is afu.
hmm, the deploy task has: war="file://${build.home}"/> while the dist task has: jarfile="${dist.home}/${app.name}-${app.version}.war". changed this to war="file://${dist.home}"/, stil no joy.
changed it to: war="file://${dist.home}/${app.name}-${app.version}.war"/> and ant says it deployed ok.
so it looks like the war line was just bad in the sample build.xml.
i still get a 404 trying the servlet link on http://localhost:8080/myapp/ which links to http://localhost:8080/myapp/hello and the jsp link which takes me to http://localhost:8080/myapp/hello.jsp says:
Context Path: /myapp Path Information: null Query String: null Request Method: GET Servlet Path: /hello.jsp
is there something wrong with my web.xml perhaps?
who builds the the web.xml file for my app and where should it be kept? (i made in the base dir of my project and did a <copy todir="${build.home}/WEB-INF" file="web.xml"/> in the prepare step).
will i still have to mung the .xml in conf/?
thanks
