Ok, that works for me. So should work for you. You talk about copying
your content from the build to the webapps directory. Why don't you
place your build directory in the webapp directory, so building will
place the files on the rights location and than reloading is enough.

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback. I see your point and now understand how reload
works. I think my real problem is with install. Consider the following
documentation from web.xml:
The "install" target tells the specified Tomcat 5 installation to
dynamically install this web application and make it available for
execution. It does *not* cause the existence of this web application to
be remembered across Tomcat restarts; if you restart the server, you
will need to re-install all this web application.
From the documentation I thought that install should tell tomcat to
temporarily load the application stored in build.home. Instead, what
happens is "ant install" copies it to the webapps directory. This is
permanent.
To demonstrate this consider the following:
# ls /usr/local/tomcat5.5/webapps/
ROOT jsp-examples tomcat-docs
balancer servlets-examples webdav
# ant install
Buildfile: build.xml
prepare:
compile:
install:
[deploy] OK - Deployed application at context path /hello
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 2 seconds
# ls /usr/local/tomcat5.5/webapps/
ROOT jsp-examples webdav
balancer servlets-examples
hello tomcat-docs
# ant list
Buildfile: build.xml
list:
[list] OK - Listed applications for virtual host localhost
[list] /webdav:running:0:webdav
[list] /servlets-examples:running:0:servlets-examples
[list] /jsp-examples:running:0:jsp-examples
[list] /balancer:running:0:balancer
[list]
/host-manager:running:0:/usr/local/tomcat5.5/server/webapps/host-manager
[list] /tomcat-docs:running:0:tomcat-docs
[list] /hello:running:0:hello
[list] /:running:0:ROOT
[list] /manager:running:0:/usr/local/tomcat5.5/server/webapps/manager
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 0 seconds
Notice that hello is now copied into my webapps directory and will be
there permanently. Since reload only restarts tomcat and does not
reinstall my application, I understand why new changes are not be loaded.
I would have expected "ant install" to somehow create a dynamic link
with what is in ${basedir}/build. Then when I recompiled my application
and reloaded tomcat, the new version of the system would run.
I am not sure if there is a configuration parameter in web.xml that is
effecting the behavior. I based mine on the copy at:
http://127.0.0.1:8180/tomcat-docs/appdev/build.xml.txt
I only modified what I thought I need to get it to work.
Does install copy the files to your webapp directory also? Is this
working the same way for you?
Thanks,
Arend
