Re: ant reload

[Robert Parsons <ro...@optushome.com.au>]

You'll probably find that your web application is being copied into 
tomcats folder on install. So when you compile your new classes and 
reload, it just reloads the web-app from its own copy (which is still 
old). Try creating a context.xml file in META-INF that looks something 
like this:

<Context path="/myapp" docBase="/path/to/your/application">
...
</Context>

That should stop the application from being copied.

I hope that helps.

Re: ant reload

Dear Robert,

Although, I could not find a good doc for context.xml I tried your 
context path solution.

1. It works the same way.
2. You wrote: "That should stop the application from being copied." BUT:
I want to copy the new version of classes and reload tomcat.

The easiest way at this moment to add an ant task 'myreload' that 
invokes the remove and install. But this is not an elegant solution.

Please note: I am not a programmer and I am new to java and tomcat...

Thanks,
Tamas
