Here's what i do:
<war compress="true" destfile="blahblahblah.war" webxml="conf/web.xml">
<zipfileset dir="conf/axis" prefix="WEB-INF"/>
<classes dir="${dest}">
<patternset refid="dest.exclude"/>
<include name="**/*.*"/>
</classes>
...
That zipfileset will let you create a dir in the war--in my case it was another item in WEB-INF but yours could be prefix="images".

Subject: Ant Problem
I'm trying to get all the pieces in place for developing a WS app with Axis and I've run into a snag with Ant. I am tearing down the webapp directories on Tomcat for every deployment so I don't have stale files. I've got everything figured out except accommodating the /images directory.
I'm using Ant 1.6.1 and printed out the online manual, and I have Tilly and Burke's "Ant: The Definitive Guide" (O'Reilly 2002) and it covers 1.4, but nowhere do I see how to get the <war></war> task to put images into the /images dir on Tomcat (or for that matter, any other files other than doc-root, WEB-INF, lib, and classes).
Thanks,
Mark
