Howdy, >BTW - Let's say portability here is not my primary goal here.
That's pretty much a conversation stopper for me ;) I'm not interested in container-specific solutions. Especially ones that are unlikely to work even in the next major release of this container (i.e. tomcat 5.x). >What about extending the manager task so that if there are differences in >the "/web/" folder (i.e. static web content) >to allow to access the /work/ directory directly and put the JSP or >graphic or whatever directly there. >Same would go for classes or libs. That restricts you to naming the static web content "web." You can already use Ant deploy stuff into the work directory directly, but that wouldn't help you much. >What would you recommend me to do to extend the manager app?

If you're going to play with the manager webapp to do this sort of thing, look at: org.apache.catalina.ant.DeployTask and its parent class org.apache.catalina.servlets.ManagerServlet For your 2nd question: it's nearly impossible to be forward-compatible with these changes. You're locking yourself into the current branch or into making more and different changes in the future. Unless what you come up with is contributed and accepted into tomcat itself...
