Alright, here is where I am now.
I edited my build.xml file to include a reload command to reload my
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT path. I go to the directory where my .java
files are and type "ant reload". Everything in the build.xml file
works fine until it reaches reload. Once it reaches reload, I get the
following message:
reload:
[reload] FAIL - No context exists for path
/u/dgresh/apache-tomcat-6.0.9/webapps/ROOT
BUILD FAILED
/u/dgresh/dev/kdb/src/kdb4/build.xml:44: FAIL - No context exists for
path /u/dgresh/apache-tomcat-6.0.9/webapps/ROOT
I do not understand this. In the example build.xml file provided on
the Apache Tomcat website, it says this:
The "reload" signals the specified application Tomcat 5 to shut
itself down
and reload. This can be useful when the web application context is not
reloadable and you have updated classes or property files in the
/WEB-INF/classes directory or when you have added or updated jar
files in the
/WEB-INF/lib directory.
I am updating classes in the /WEB-INF/classes directory, which is why
I want to reload the application. Is there something I am missing? Is
there something I need to include in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT to
make it a web application so Ant can recognize the context?
Thanks for the help,
Dan

Hi list,
I resolved this problem. It turns out that I shouldn't have specified
the full path; I took another look at the Tomcat docs and the
manager/html page, and realized that when I run a manager task it will
automatically read from the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps directory. Therefore,
I changed my path in build.xml to "/", and voila -- it reloaded ROOT!
Now I can create my own webapp separate from ROOT, and use Ant tasks!
Thanks a lot for the help you've been giving me as I'm getting familiar
with Tomcat,
Dan
