I recently posted this to "ant_user", since I assumed that this was an ant problem, but I was sent to this list. So here goes: I recently upgraded from Tomcat 3.1 to Tomcat 3.2, then 3.2.1. I discovered the requisite changes required to my build.xml file to allow the included version of ant to do its job. Everything is working except ./build dist. Resulting war files fail to build the correct directory structure under $TOMCAT_HOME. I'm unable to get the "myapp" sample application to work properly. If I go to $TOMCAT_HOME/doc/appdev/sample and issue: ./build.sh all, everything compiles fine. If I start tomcat, I can successfully access the servlet. If I then do a "./build.sh dist" and move the resulting war file into the webapps directory of tomcat, shut down tomcat, delete the myapp directory, then restart tomcat, the resulting directly precludes running the app. There isn't even a WEB-INF/classes directory created. This all worked fine for me in 3.1. Can anyone offer an explanation? TIA, Barry
