Hi Jacob, Thank you for your detailed description. I'm now using the ant deploy/ant undeploy task successfully and it works as expected. I replaced all file-system access with .getClass().getResourceAsStream() and it works smoothly now.
Also, the ant install command works correctly with the same configuration (with META-INF/context.xml), which is quite cool because I'm able to use the same file structure for development and production. Given my current ant/tomcat configuration I think a multi-release environment is definitely possible and easy to handle if one has the right tools and scripts available (e.g. I'm recently migrated from apache soap to axis with multiple releases). I'd like to contribute my current configuration experiences and update the docs for the other users - how can I do this? thx Johannes
