Using Ant install with Tomcat 5.5

[Jeff Macomber <jm...@tuvox.com>]

Hi All,

 

I am attempting to install a web app using the ant task install.  It is
failing when I use this:

 

<install url="${tomcat.manager.url}"

                                    username="${tomcat.username}"

                                    password="${tomcat.password}"

 
path="/SpeechApps/TransactionModel60_20060612141031"

                                    war="file:C:\Program
Files\public\SpeechApps\TransactionModel60_20060612141031\"/>

 

but succeeding when I do this:

 

<install url="${tomcat.manager.url}"

                                    username="${tomcat.username}"

                                    password="${tomcat.password}"

 
path="/SpeechApps/TransactionModel60_20060612141031"

                                    war="file:C:\Program
Files\public\SpeechApps\TransactionModel60_20060612141031\"/>

 

 

The only difference is the "path".  In Tomcat 5.0 this works fine but
not in tomcat 5.5.  Is this a bug?  Am I doing something incorrectly?

 

I also tried using context.xml and the deploy tasks with the same
result.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey Jeff-

Ant is primarily a Nix utility which has been ported to DOS
so relative pathnames like '/fu/bar/fubar' always work 
but DOS paths like 'C:\Program Files\Way Too Many Spaces\Big Long ProgramName With Spaces.exe doesnt work
the workaround is
dir /X (give me short name)
so in the case of 
C:\Program Files\fu becomes 
C:\PROGRA~1\fu                (which uses the shortened directory name)

Just a FYI--
