Ant build error from sample

[Tom Birchmire <co...@world.std.com>]

After making some corrections to the sample build.xml file, I get the
following the error BUILD FATAL ERROR: srcdir does not exist!  The end
of the listing is below:

Question 1.  What srcdir is it referring to? I presume it's the one in
myapp directory
Is there some sort of <property statement   /> needed?

Question 2  How can I set   tomcat.home   from  TOMCAT_HOME ?  I used a
quoted string to set it.

Thanks,   Tom Birchmire.
