Re: Tomcat's Ant Tasks

[Tim Shaw]

Personally, I use deploy/undeploy, even during development - saves 
worrying about copying files around and mapping network drives etc 
(apart from anything, I run load-tests automatically on both W2K and 
Linux servers, scripted from Ant). This is the way I work remotely/in 
production, and it's not a big overhead ... although I'd like to see 
recommendations as to size/whatever where performance difference became 
'significant' [5 secs?]. For development I just have a local 
TC/MySQL/... setup - the only thing I ever need to change is the server 
hostname.

Anyone think a comment on the plus/minus of the approaches worth 
following up?

Thanks

As I said in my previous post, I gave up using tomcat ant task to deploy my
app on production box due to the difficulty of granting permission to war.
If you don't start tomcat -security, catalina ant tasks are still the
easiest way to go.
My lesson learnt from using Catalina tasks is, most of the errors are caused
by wrong path= and/or war=. Following suggestions are based on linux
- install: 

path="${your.app.path}"
war="file:/${your.unpacked.dir.containing.your.webapp}" or
war="jar:file:/${your.dir.containing.war}/${your.war}!/"
- remove: only works if you've "install"ed before

path="${your.app.path}"

- reload

path="${your.app.path}"

Other comments:

Theoretically, correct me if I am wrong, if I install my webapp from my
local dev box to remote server, install task will lock your local dir as
in-use on win32 box.

I'm having trouble using Tomcat's Ant Tasks.  I've written up a wiki page on
how I'm using them and the problems I'm experiencing.  Any help is
appreciated.
