Ant "dist" creates bad WAR file?

["Barry L. Kline" <bl...@attglobal.net>]

I recently upgraded from Tomcat 3.1 to Tomcat 3.2.  I discovered the
requisite changes required to my build.xml file to allow the included
version of ant to do its job.  Everything is working except ./build
dist.   Resulting war files fail to build the correct directory
structure under $TOMCAT_HOME.  I'm unable to get the "myapp" sample
application to work properly.

If I go to $TOMCAT_HOME/doc/appdev/sample and issue:  ./build.sh  all,
everything compiles fine.  If I start tomcat, I can successfully
access the servlet.  If I then do a "./build.sh dist" and move the
resulting war file into the webapps directory of tomcat, shut down
tomcat, delete the myapp directory, then restart tomcat, the resulting
directly precludes running the app.  There isn't even a
WEB-INF/classes directory created.

This all worked fine for me in 3.1.  Can anyone offer an explanation?

TIA,

Barry

I understood that this was the ant-user list.  However, since Tomcat
appears to use ant to do this, I thought it best to try here.  I've
reposted and moved this to Tomcat, until someone tells me that it's an
ant problem.

This is ant-user list for information about how to run/setup the ant build
dependency tool. For tomcat specific questions you may wish to ask on the
tomcat lists as they will probably be more helpful ;)
