Re: Library management for Tomcat using ant

Hi there,

I know this is more a question about ant, but maybe a tomcat user here has 
faced the same issue as I do when using a central lib directory for all of 
the JAR files in the various webapps:

In the prepare task I copy the JAR files I need for my webapp into the 
WEB-INF/lib folder in the build path:
===============
<copy todir="${build.home}/WEB-INF/lib">
     <fileset dir="${lib.home}">
               <include name="cos.jar" />
               <include name="cos2.jar" />
               ....
   </fileset>
</copy>
=================

However, this library listing is the only thing which distinguishes the 
various build.xml files for my different webapps.
I'd prefer to have only ONE build.xml file for all of my webapps so they 
all have the same structure.

How can I import a fileset like above from a separate filename?
(so I can have 
*) ONE build.xml for all of my webapps and 
*) a specific lib.xml for each of my webapps?

thx alot
Johannes
 

Hi Johannes,
why not coding your own task ? reading a single filename then copying 
files is an easy task to be coded in Java isn't it ?
