starting tomcat from ant not working

[Dean Hiller <de...@alvazan.com>]

I have tried from ant and programmed up a main class to start tomcat via
"catalina.bat start" and tried "catalina.bat start" from ant as well.
Lastly, I finally tried directly running the exact command that catalina.bat
start tries to run and then ended up with classnotfound which makes no sense
since I thought the bootstrap class is supposed to put that
together.....(any ideas?)

Probably your conf/catalina.properties file is broken. Maybe you
copied it from an earlier TC 5.5 installation.

Have you tried "startup.bat" ?

Hi,
This is how we start tomcat from ant. ${server} is your tomcat installation
directory. Then we have a condition on a URL, so we know tomcat actually
starts and handling HTTP requests.

<java jar="${server}/bin/bootstrap.jar" fork="true" spawn="true"
dir="${server}/bin">
    <jvmarg value="-Dcatalina.home=${server}" />
    <arg line="start" />
 </java>

Notice the startup folder and catalina home argument. This is to avoid
conflicts with other tomcat installations that may be on the system.
