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". -pc -----Original Message----- From: Galbreath, Mark A [ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ] Sent: Monday, March 08, 2004 1:21 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' 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
