Howdy,

Even though i think you're mistaking here, it might be even more reason
to update the Application Developer's Guide on the tomcat 5 docs ;)

Feel free to contribute...

Why would a target be deprecated? I could call it jake-the-snake if i

For the normal reason things are deprecated: methods, classes, build
targets, documentation.  They're out of date and no longer supported, so
complaints about them are ignored.


Then again: a fairly new tutorial wouldn't trigger me to see if
anything
I'm using is deprecated. Would it be your first guess? ;)

I can understand a bit of your confusion, since you're new to this as
you say.  The app developer's guide and its tutorial are not new,
they're probably almost 2 years old by now.  They're modified here and
there, and haven't really been updated for tomcat 5 yet, just mostly
copied over from the tomcat 4 docs.

A discussion like this turns out to be more of a learning course for me 
than a contribution to the docs i suppose :D

Should i post the tomcat-dev mailinglist for contributions to the docs 
as well? Maybe i'll try to work out some updated tutorial... in the 
not-so-near future that is...

I'm not complaining, and i understand the meaning of the word deprecated ;)

I just wondered why one would deprecate a target by it's name, and not 
by it's function. As you could have seen, the target i posted contains a 
deploy ... /, and it's still not clear to me what of both things now 
is deprecated? I mean... i could also write a target with name 
my-funky-target and put the deploy statement in there... Or DO targets 
have special meaning based on their names?

By the way: any idea why Ant doesn't warn me about this deprecated stuff?

Anyhow, i should go RTFM, so if none bothers to answer this i could 
relate ;)

Yeah, I figured so...

You would put an enhancement issue into Bugzilla and attach your
documents/patches/whatever to that issue.

I just realized it is would be more handy if you put the jar in a dir 
where it would not try to include itself when compressing :P

so replace ${build.home}/${app.version}.war with plain ${app.version}.war

And yes, thank you, i love talking to myself :P

Hi all :)

First post here, so don't bomb me if i do anything wrong :P

After downloading and installing Tomcat 5.0 beta i discovered an error 
in the build.xml file provided in that section.

The target install misses the action to create a war file, and 
deploying that war file in/on/to (?) the server.

I solved it this way:

---snip---
  target name=install depends=compile
   description=Install application to servlet container
!-- added --
  jar jarfile=${build.home}/${app.version}.war
   basedir=${build.home}/
!-- /added --
!--
   [EMAIL PROTECTED] now points
   to the just created war
   file (ofcourse ;))
--
deploy url=${manager.url}
   username=${manager.username}
   password=${manager.password}
   path=${app.path}
war=${build.home}/${app.version}.war/
  /target
---snip---
Maybe it's all wrong, (if so, please let me know how to do better ;)) 
but that's not my point. Maybe the guys over there creating and managing 
these docs can provide a better build.xml file :) I searched my ass of 
(being new to Ant and all :)) how to solve that weird ZipException...

Cheers in advance :)

Howdy,
Even though you like talking to yourself, maybe I'll interrupt for two
quick questions: did you notice the install target is deprecated?  Did
you perhaps search the archives to see why?

to update the Application Developer's Guide on the tomcat 5 docs ;)

Why would a target be deprecated? I could call it jake-the-snake if i 
wanted to... Don't you mean an 'install' element? Since the deploy 
you're pointing out here is what is used in the target itself...

I'm new to this, so i'm not sure if i'm right ;)

Then again: a fairly new tutorial wouldn't trigger me to see if anything 
I'm using is deprecated. Would it be your first guess? ;)

Thanks for the tip though, i'll figure it out
