Hello all. I have an Ant build script for an application that stops Tomcat if it's running, deletes the work folder for the application (so I can ensure all JSPs get recompiled) and starts Tomcat again. Here's the two relevant tasks:
<target name="tomcat_cleanup"> <delete dir="${app_base_dir}/../../work/Catalina/localhost/toa" /> </target> <target name="start_tomcat"> <exec executable="${catalina_home}/bin/startup.bat" os="Windows XP" spawn="true"> <env key="CATALINA_HOME" value="${catalina_home}" /> </exec> </target> app_base_dir is properly defined (I know because the work folder DOES get deleted) pointing to the root of the webapp, as is cataline_home (because Tomcat DOES start up). Here's the problem... When I access the first page on my application (index.jsp in the root of the webapp), I get the following: The file or path you specified (..\..\..\\bin\bootstrap.jar) is invalid relative to C:\tomcat org.apache.tools.ant.util.FileUtils.resolveFile(FileUtils.java:761) org.apache.tools.ant.Project.resolveFile(Project.java:1293) <snip - I'm beting the whole stack trace isn't important> Anyone have any ideas? Funny thing is, if I manually run startup.bat, sure enough everything works perfectly as it should. I don't get it. Thanks all! -- Frank W.
