"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

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-
