Create the War file out of the TDK structure - SOLUTION

[George Allaman <ge...@skyelou.com>]

Thanks so much for this Jurgen. It worked like a charm for me. This info 
needs to be somewhere accessible.

I made a few changes. Where you have "<src_dir of your 
project>/<projectname>" I substituted "../.." since this is the relative 
pathname to the app directory from the build directory. This works for 
me and since this is a Turbine-specific solution and the build directory 
is always in the same place relative to the build directory it should 
work for all. Further, no hard-coded directory name change is necessary.

Suggestions for Turbine/Tomcat developers:

* Alter the web.xml distributed with Tomcat as Akmal described, i.e. 
uncomment the following code:

     <servlet-mapping>
         <servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name>
         <url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern>
     </servlet-mapping>

* Add something akin to Jurgen's code to the build.xml in newapp in the 
Turbine distribution; add the "Live" directory as he has shown.
