application.

<delete file="var/lib/tomcat55/webapps/application.war"/>
<delete dir="var/lib/tomcat55/webapps/application"/>
<copy
file="var/lib/tomcat55/webapps/application/META-INF/context.xml"
todir="${dirs.working}/temp/META-INF/"/>
<!-- Creating the Configured application web archive for
Deployment-->
<war destfile=var/lib/tomcat55/webapps/application.war"
webxml="${dirs.working}/temp/WEB-INF/web.xml" update="yes">
<fileset dir="${dirs.working}/temp"/>
</war>
If anybody can help on this..
Thanks in advance!!

This is a pretty dangerous way of working with WAR files, though I
understand why you need to generate new WARs for every target. Indeed,
this is one reason why I don't like war files. Remember that <war> is
just <jar> with a few hard-coded options; you can use <jar> or <zip> to
bundle up a directory tree.
1. just <unzip> and then <zip> after the <copy>, but remember to use
overwrite="true" in the copy to force overwrite the unzipped XML file
with the custom one, even if the unzipped XML file is newer.
2. Dont do this on the live machine; do it before it gets there
Looking at your code
-you delete a dir
<delete dir="var/lib/tomcat55/webapps/application"/>
-then copy a file from under that directory
<copy
file="var/lib/tomcat55/webapps/application/META-INF/context.xml"
todir="${dirs.working}/temp/META-INF/"/>
That is unlikely to work well. You should keep that context.xml
somewhere safe and copy it in using overwrite="true" in <copy>
