Deploys to "wrong" directory...

[Karsten Wutzke <kw...@web.de>]

Hi all!

I've already asked this in the Ant and Tomcat User lists, but no one 
could give me a reasonable answer.

When deploying, that is using the Ant Tomcat 4.1 <deploy> task, the web 
app war file is copied to 
$CATALINA_HOME/work/standalone/localhost/manager. Furthermore, an 
directory containing *only* Java platform files (classes and jars) is 
automatically expanded in 
$CATALINA_HOME/work/standalone/localhost/<context>. Note that there are 
no html's, jsp's, images or anything there. I can also delete this 
directory and the web app still works.

I had expected the whole web app to be in the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps dir 
or in a context subdir. Why is the web app deployed to the Tomcat work 
directory, which, according to the Tomcat docs at 
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/README.txt , is a 
"Scratch directory used by Tomcat for holding temporary files and 
directories"...???

I don't like this behavior. Is it, because I'm essentially using the 
Manager web app, which itself is just a web app, and thus places 
anything into its scratch dir?

I'd like my web app to be in the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps dir in some 
way... How is that done?

Another question I have is with the install task:
Where are the application files really? In the automatically expanded 
directory $CATALINA_HOME/work/standalone/localhost/<context>, there are 
only Java platform files, no html or jsp's. But the index.html is 
found... Where is it?

Thanks for helping!

Karsten

The updated HTML web application manager available in Tomcat 4.1.24 can
install a web application into your webapps directory.  This is not
available as an ant task, only via the HTML Manager.
