I realize the other question I had which I posted in my previous reply is better asked in a new thread. I'll look into it more before I post it though to see if I can resolve it.

It turns out that I shouldn't have specified the full path; I took another look at the Tomcat docs and the manager/html page, and realized that when I run a manager task it will automatically read from the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps directory. Therefore, I changed my path in build.xml to /, and voila -- it reloaded ROOT! Now I can create my own webapp separate from ROOT, and use Ant tasks!
