"Ant" tool helps testing the application and create a ".war" file using "jar" utility. So we can see the application in the browser by connecting localhost:8080/myapp. Is my understanding right ? Please correct me if i am wrong Thanks -----Original Message----- From: Pinar Bicioglu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 04, 2001 2:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: File Hierarchy Hi all, I have been trying to set my source and deployment directories for couple of days. I have ant and tomcat installed on my computer and i am suppose to write a build.xml file. But it seems so confusing to me to place the neccessary files into directories. Lets say that I have this "default" web application. When tomcat starts it creates a folder called "default" and places application's directory hireracy in it. I don't understand what it has to do with "ant" and the application's files that are placed in build.xml file ? I am so confused right now. I have read the documentation and FAQ and couldn't come up with anything. Basically I need help with understanding on which files does what and how i can build place them in build.xml file I appreciate any help Thanks a lot Pinar-
