I'm getting the same error trying to compile my first servlet under
Fedora5/Tomcat5.5.15/Ant1.6.5

$ ant
Buildfile: build.xml
BUILD FAILED
/var/lib/tomcat5/webapps/test1/WEB-INF/build.xml:147: taskdef class
org.apache.catalina.ant.DeployTask cannot be found
Total time: 0 seconds

I have copied catalina-ant.jar into /usr/share/ant/lib, as instructed
I have tried jar tvf /usr/share/ant/lib/catalina-ant.jar, and the classes
are definitely there
I have tried ant -lib /usr/share/ant/lib
I have tried exporting ANT_HOME myself, rather than relying on /etc/ant.conf
I have tried banging my fist on the desk

...but nothing seems to work.  If anyone has any suggestions, or pointers to
documentation that doesn't just say "copy in the catalina-ant.jar file and
all will be well, they'd be much appreciated!

Cheers,
Ian

Posted by James Abley <ja...@volantis.com>.
Probably Sun Java Studio has an embedded instance of ANT, and you've put 
the jars into the wrong place.

Try just defining them according to where the jars are located:


<path id="tomcat.ant.classpath">
             <pathelement 
location="${catalina.home}/server/lib/catalina-ant.jar" />
         </path>

         <taskdef name="catalina-undeploy"
                  classname="org.apache.catalina.ant.UndeployTask"
                  classpathref="tomcat.ant.classpath" />
         <taskdef name="catalina-deploy"
                  classname="org.apache.catalina.ant.DeployTask"
                  classpathref="tomcat.ant.classpath" />

         <catalina-undeploy path="/path"
                            url="${tomcat.url}"
                            username="${tomcat.username}"
                            password="${tomcat.password}" />

         <catalina-deploy war="path.war"
                          path="/path"
                          url="${tomcat.url}"
                          username="${tomcat.username}"
                          password="${tomcat.password}" />
