Hello. I'm just beginning to use the manager app to deploy my app instead of dropping a myapp.war file into the webapps dir, deleting the webapps/myapp directory and myapp.war file, stopping Tomcat, and retarting Tomcat.
The stopping and restarting of Tomcat was a real drag. So now I do manager/install ... my war file from my dist directory, and that makes my app available. I like it so far. But then I modify my app, build (with ant), manager/remove, and manager/install. That doesn't work unless I manually (or as part of my ant dist activity) delete webapps/myapp directory. Now to my point. I would expect manager/remove to completely remove the app (including the webapps/myapp directory.) It doesn't remove the directory, so subsequent manager/install attempts do nothing. At least, I can't see my changes unless I: ant dist (including rm $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/myapp), manager/remove, and then manager/install. Am I misusing this or misunderstanding it? Shouldn't manager/remove actually remove the webapps/myapp dir? Or shouldn't manager/install remove or overwrite the webapps/myapp directory or its contents? Thanks for any pointers. (I've read what documentation I can find on Manager app, but it's fairly sparse.) I suppose I could change manager's behavior by modifying its source, but I'll reserve that for last. Michael PS: anyone know how to get XEmacs to highlight Java/JSP code? any pointers there would be welcome... not much useful answers to this question from what I can find on the net. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
