Please read the App Dev Guide at > the Tomcat doc site. It is extremely useful. I think you've misunderstood. Changes by the install task don't survive a server restart, because they don't seem to edit server.xml. As I said earlier, I'd prefer this because tomcat is choking on its own server.xml after editing it. In any case, I've got a solution which works - I'm installing by copying the files to appBase. I've read the appdev guide - it's useful, but doesn't describe the attributes of the ant tasks, which is what I need. To clarify, all I'm looking for is the equivalent of these pages: http://ant.apache.org/manual/anttaskslist.html for the tasks defined in catalina-ant.jar. Does anyone know where they are? -- "I thought you were trying to get into shape." "I am. The shape I've selected is a triangle."
