Following the docs for the deployment process I created a simple HelloWorld servlet.
I cannot be certain, but I believe, proir to running ant install, I manually copied the servlet directory to TOMCAT/webapps/HelloWorld. After running ant install the servlet ran perfectly. However, modifting the development copy of the srevlet and rerunning ant install produced no effect. I deleted the TOMCAT/webapps/HelloWorld directory and ran "ant remove clean all install". All reported fine, but NO evidence of anything on TOMCAT/webapps/ I double check the server has write access and it does. I eventually manually copied the contents of HelloWorld/build to TOMCAT/webapps/ and renamed it HelloWorld. Nothing. I reran ant install and it said, OK. Servlet Not Avaliable or 404 errors was all I could get. I can not get the ant install to work at all. It registers it with the manager, but that is it. To get subsequent versions even after minor edits to work, I need to... ant compile cp build/* -r /opt/tomcat/webapps/HelloWorld ant install /opt/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh [ .. wait 20 seconds .. ] ps ax possibly: /opt/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh again /opt/tomcat/bin/startup.sh [ takes over a minute to restart ] Finally the app works. Unless I am doing something wrong, this conflicts with the documentation on the deployment process that states all you need to do to get the app running temporarily on the server during development is to run ant install. Any help and advice would be very greatfully recieved.
