RE: Trouble with ant install command and ResourceLink
hi jacob,
thx for the input, now it works smoothly.
However, it would be great if the config-parameter gets mentioned in the
manager app howto
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/manager-howto.html
target name=install description=Install web application
depends=compile
install url=${url} username=${username} password=${password}
path=${path} war=file://${build}/
/target
thx alot
Johannes

RE: Trouble with ant install command and ResourceLink
You need to look at the attributes provided for the install task...
target name=catalina-install depends=compile,manager.init
description=Install application to servlet container
catalina-install
url=${manager.url}
username=${manager.username}
password=${manager.password}
config=${app.ccf}
path=${app.path} /
/target
Notice the config attribute. At build time, that resolves to a file:///
URL pointing to where the context configuration file is.
Now look at the deploy task...
target name=catalina-deploy depends=war,manager.init
description=Deploy web-app war
echo message=${app.war}/
catalina-deploy
url=${manager.url}
username=${manager.username}
password=${manager.password}
path=${app.path}
war=${app.war} /
/target
There is no config attribute. You might argue that there should be
one. File a bug on that if you think so. However, the fact is, there
isn't one now and the current mechanism here is the META-INF/context.xml
file that Tomcat looks for.

SOLVED RE: Trouble with ant install command and ResourceLink
Hi Jacob,
My solution for the problem:
target name=install description=Install application to servlet
container
install url=${manager.url}
username=${manager.username}
password=${manager.password}
path=${app.path}
config=file:///${build.home}/META-INF/context.xml
war=file:///${build.home}/
/target
== So I have the same context.xml for development (ant install) and for
production (ant deploy)
thx alot for your great input!!!
Johannes
RE: Trouble with ant install command and ResourceLink
I do not have an answer for your specific issue, but I found minor deploy issues with install, so I only use deploy and undeploy tasks and do not have any more issues.

Yes, me too. Based on what the install process does compared to deploy, I have not yet determined an applicable time to use install vs deploy!

RE: Trouble with ant install command and ResourceLink
hi jeff, ok. so I will stay with deploy as well. Currently I do the following to redeploy: ant remove ant deploy However, there is a small time where users will still get a 404 error (the small delay where the PUT command is issued by the deploy task). Do you know a way how to get around this issue to have 100% uptime of an application? thx alot Johannes Jeff Jensen [EMAIL PROTECTED] 29.03.2003 15:34 Please respond to Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] To 'Tomcat Users List' [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc Subject RE: Trouble with ant install command and ResourceLink Yes, me too.

RE: Trouble with ant install command and ResourceLink
If you use the deploy task to deploy the app, you should use the undeploy task to undeploy the app. The remove task is mated with the install task. Mixing these will give you unexpected results.

RE: Trouble with ant install command and ResourceLink
Hi Jacob, It seems as if I was wrong with ant install test. I now undeployed and installed, but the Context information got lost. Where do I have to put the context.xml in the /build/ directory? Would /build/myapp.xml ok? Would the install task accept any *.xml in /build/ as context configuration info? I tried: /build/context.xml and ant install, but it didn't work. Any suggestions?? thx Johannes

Trouble with ant install command and ResourceLink
hi there, In my /webapps/myapp.xml I'm using a ResourceLink: ResourceLink name=jdbc/mydb global=MyDatabase/ I'm using the manager app via ant to test my application.

However, it seems as if the ResourceLink has not been inited during install, so it seems Tomcat doesn't read the /webapps/myapp.xml file.
