thanks Mark, fixed that. When using tomcat:run , it picks up changes to jsps ok which is great, but using the jetty:run plugin I found that I could also rebuild a serverside jar (which for a WAR would have been in web-inf/lib) using 'mvn install' it would then go into my local repo, which Jetty had on its classpath (you can see this at jetty start up - all jars come from local repository) , so when new jar gets installed, jetty picks up the change and redeploys. Where as I think the tomcat launch is using the
target\myWebapp\WEB-INF\lib folder for these jars? I guess it's not possible for tomcat to pick up the jars from local repo ? it would be great if it could. If not, I need a way to refresh it JAR, I tried a 'mvn package' on the WAR project, when tomcat:run is still open in another window. I can see the jar timestamps change, but tomcat doesn't realise. So then I thought maybe I could use Tomcat manager to reload e.g. http://localhost:8080/manager/reload?path=/myWebapp but I don't think the manager is available in this Tomcat configuration? I tried changing the tomcat-users.xml , added <user username="admin" password="" roles="tomcat,manager,admin"/> then mvn tomcat:run but manager still not available Any thoughts on how to ease rapid development with Tomcat appreciated.

Looks like your webapp is using a different version of servlet-api, hence a class cast exception when tomcat tries to cast your filter. Ensure you're using servlet-api 2.4 which tomcat 5.5 uses. > 2) I assume this puts a tomcat instance in target/tomcat > > however I notice the tomcat manager isn't enable in the > target\tomcat\conf\tomcat-users.xml Nope, tomcat manager isn't deployed using tomcat:run. Feel free to raise an issue if you need this functionality. I didn't think this was too useful since the container is rather transient. > 3) Is there any documentation on this tomcat:run goal ? none at > http://mojo.codehaus.org/tomcat-maven-plugin/ See: http://mojo.codehaus.org/tomcat-maven-plugin/deployment.html#Running%20a%20WAR%20project http://mojo.codehaus.org/tomcat-maven-plugin/run-mojo.html Cheers, Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
