hi jacob,
thx for the input, now it works smoothly.
However, it would be great if the config-parameter gets mentioned in the
manager app howto
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/manager-howto.html
<target name="install" description="Install web application"
depends="compile">
<install url="${url}" username="${username}" password="${password}"
path="${path}" war="file://${build}"/>
</target>
thx alot
Johannes

RE: Trouble with ant install command and ResourceLink
You need to look at the attributes provided for the install task...
<target name="catalina-install" depends="compile,manager.init"
description="Install application to servlet container" >
<catalina-install
url="${manager.url}"
username="${manager.username}"
password="${manager.password}"
config="${app.ccf}"
path="${app.path}" />
</target>
Notice the "config" attribute. At build time, that resolves to a file:///
URL pointing to where the context configuration file is.
Now look at the deploy task...
<target name="catalina-deploy" depends="war,manager.init"
description="Deploy web-app war" >
<echo message="${app.war}"/>
<catalina-deploy
url="${manager.url}"
username="${manager.username}"
password="${manager.password}"
path="${app.path}"
war="${app.war}" />
</target>
There is no "config" attribute. You might argue that there should be
one. File a bug on that if you think so. However, the fact is, there
isn't one now and the current mechanism here is the META-INF/context.xml
file that Tomcat looks for.
