Difference between version 14 and version 13:

Comments and suggestions are not quite correct. \\
I have not changed earlier contributions - instead I have added some coding samples that really work.\\
Newer distributions (Tomcat4.1.24, Tomcat4.1.27) document in detail the usage of the ant tasks, see Manager_App_HOW-TO in the tomcat-docs. \\
A very confusing point is the different syntax of the war attribute : In target install you need the syntax of a jar-URL:
{{{
<!-- Install war file to servlet container -->
<target name="install">
<install url="${managerapp.url}"
username="${managerapp.userid}"
password="${managerapp.password}"
path="/${context}"
war="jar:file:${build.dir}/${war.file}!/" />
</target>
}}}
On the other hand, the deploy target uses a simple file-URL:
{{{
<!-- Deploy an application to servlet container -->
<target name="deploy">
<deploy url="${managerapp.url}"
username="${managerapp.userid}"
password="${managerapp.password}"
path="/${context}"
war="file:${build.dir}/${war.file}" />
</target>
}}}
Other targets that do not require a war attribute are uncritical, eg
{{{
<!-- Remove an application on servlet container -->
<target name="remove">
<remove url="${managerapp.url}"
username="${managerapp.userid}"
password="${managerapp.password}"
path="/${context}" />
</target>
}}}
There is one remaining problem with the undeploy target - in some circumstances the target does not complete but ends up with an error message:
{{{
<!-- Undeploy an application from servlet container -->
<target name="undeploy">
<undeploy url="${managerapp.url}"
username="${managerapp.userid}"
password="${managerapp.password}"
path="/${CONTEXT}" />
</target>
FAIL - Cannot remove document base for path /eai_sc
}}}
The reason seems to be some locking by the Tomcat server itself. While Tomcat is running, even a remove (rm -rf under Unix) doesn´t work. \\
As a workaround you can also use the remove task to withdraw the deployment of your webapp.
