Thanks for your input. I only joined this list this morning, and am appalled by the lack of constructive responses. I have just upgraded to tomcat7, it works, great, and has solved a problem I had, great. However I thought that my problems with redeployment were worth feeding back: The new deployment url granularity seems like an improvement, however I am finding that the rationale for not providing a default for backwards compatibility is not explained, and of the three maven plugins only the old one works: Given properties: <properties> <tomcat.username>admin</tomcat.username> <tomcat.password></tomcat.password> <tomcat.username>admin</tomcat.username> <tomcat.password></tomcat.password> <!-- tomcat7 needs /text appended --> <tomcat.url>http://localhost:8080/manager</tomcat.url> </properties> and plugins <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId> <artifactId>tomcat6-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.0-beta-1</version> <configuration> <path>/${project.artifactId}</path> <url>${tomcat.url}</url> <username>${tomcat.username}</username> <password>${tomcat.password}</password> </configuration> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId> <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.0-beta-1</version> <configuration> <path>/${project.artifactId}</path> <url>${tomcat.url}</url> <username>${tomcat.username}</username> <password>${tomcat.password}</password> </configuration> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>tomcat-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.1</version> <configuration> <path>/${project.artifactId}</path> <url>${tomcat.url}</url> <username>${tomcat.username}</username> <password>${tomcat.password}</password> </configuration> </plugin> the only command which works for me (Maven 3.0.4) is : mvn install tomcat:redeploy -Dtomcat.url=http://localhost:8080/manager/html Failures: mvn install tomcat:redeploy -Dtomcat.url=http://localhost:8080/manager/text mvn install tomcat6:redeploy -Dtomcat.url=http://localhost:8080/manager/text mvn install tomcat7:redeploy -Dtomcat.url=http://localhost:8080/manager/text mvn install tomcat6:undeploy tomcat6:deploy -Dtomcat.url=http://localhost:8080/manager/text mvn install tomcat7:undeploy tomcat7:deploy -Dtomcat.url=http://localhost:8080/manager/text I am not asking for help and would be very happy not to have any RTFM replies. yours Tim -- Tim Pizey - http://pizey.net/~timp --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
