The most up-to-date version of this document (reflecting some cool new
stuff that Ant 1.3 lets you do) is available online at:

  http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc-exp/appdev/index.html

The updated version shows you how to let Ant build classpaths for you.  I
now have *nothing* in my classpath, and my Ant scripts for all my projects
happily build whatever is needed for that particular project.

Although this document references Tomcat 4 (because it will ship with
Tomcat 4 final), the information about web apps is all the same for Tomcat
3.x).

Sounds like you could learn a lot from reading the Application Developer's
Guide that comes packaged with tomcat in the /doc directory.  It's also
available online at:

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/index.html
