Ant - Tomcat deploy question
Hi folks,
I'm running TC 4.1.18, ANT 1.5, J2SDK1.4.0_01 on a W2K server - Tomcat is
running as a service.
When ANT places my "appName.war" file in the Catalina_Home/webapps directory
it doesn't deploy (i.e. unpack).
I stopped and started the Tomcat service, that didn't deploy appName.war.
However, if I stop the service - delete the webapps/appName folder - execute
the ANT deploy-app command again - this works.
Why? What am I missing - better yet what do I need to read? I've read some
archive threads - do I really need to restart TC or appName using Manager
after deployment?
Please enlighten the newbie...

Follow the development environment recommendation set out in the Tomcat
application developers guide, which you can find at
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/appdev/.
After you "install" your application into Tomcat, you can "reload" it on
demand without restarting Tomcat. I had experienced problems with stale
classes staying in memory in the past, but I have not had any problems since
using this new approach.
Quick tip: If you use the sample build.xml file provided in the Tomcat
AppDev manual, add the following lines to the section where the classpath is
constructed...
<fileset dir="${build.home}/WEB-INF/lib">
<include name="*.jar"/>
</fileset>
...This will automatically include any JAR files that you have placed in
${web.home}/WEB-INF/lib (and which are subsequently copied to
${build.home}/WEB-INF/lib) into the classpath for you.
