> A hint: the Tomcat tasks are more trouble than they are worth. The ant tomcat tasks worked with some of my contexts, but the flex app does not seem to be behaving -- it won't undeploy cleanly when using the Tomcat Manager either. :-(
That's why I switched to just exec'ing the shutdown.bat and manually scripting the deploy of a new copy of the war. > I just run tomcat in a console window and > restart it whenever I redeploy. Yeah, I do that locally, but this situation is on a remote server with AnthillPro -- i.e. I want to have it automagically redeploy new builds. > Tomcat service you can use the control panel to start/stop I've got one of those too. ;-) > Better yet use Resin (http://www.caucho.com) which is faster to start > and stop. It has a control panel also (no service install, however). For personal dev, I may try out Jetty and Resin -- I've been interested in them for a while -- ever since the "Does Tomcat Suck?" blog post came out. <grin> But for the corporate gig, Tomcat more closely resembles the production environment -- it is what it is, and so I need to use TC. Way back -- before Intellij had built-in Tomcat integration, I ran TC as an external 'tool' by starting with the Bootstrap class. I haven't re-found the docs on that -- thinking maybe it might be a cleaner way to start Tomcat from Ant since it wouldn't involve java to exec/native process to fire up a java app. -Timo --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
