It can be done. All of the manager commands seem to work well, except for remove in my case, which doesn't remove the deployed directroy because Tomcat maintains a reference to struts.jar in in my deployed image. I wrote an uninstall and had to manually stop Tomcat and remove the deployed directory.
If, like me, you've already qualified your app on Tomcat 4.1 (4.1.29, in my case) you want to check out the docs for running the manager in the 4.1.29 version: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/manager-howto.html I wrote my own java client that runs the Tomcat manager application in my installer. It was pretty easy.

Aim is that once the tomcat is up we should be able to deploy and undeploy web apps programatically. Is there a way this can be achieved or if i can look up some docs/respurce somewhere. thanks abhijat --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
