Hello there,
I am using JDK 1.5, Eclipse 3.2, and Tomcat 5.5.9. I wrote a build script which
compiles, packages (via war file) the source, deploys (moves the war into
TOMCAT_HOME/webapps), and is supposed to undeploy (by deleting the particular
web app's directory & war file under TOMCAT_HOME/webapps).
The problem that I am encountering is that while Tomcat is running, I have a
lib directory: TOMCAT_HOME/MyWebApp/WEB-INF/lib which contains several needed
jar files. It seems that when I run my Ant's undeploy target, it refuses to
delete the lib directory and thus the build breaks:
Buildfile: C:\DevProjects\guess_number\build.xml
undeploy:
[delete] Deleting directory
C:\DevTools\tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9\webapps\NumberGuess
BUILD FAILED
C:\DevProjects\guess_number\build.xml:57: Unable to delete file
C:\DevTools\tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9\webapps\NumberGuess\WEB-INF\lib\Echo2_App.jar
Total time: 345 milliseconds

build.properties:

# Webapp properties for the project
webapp.name=NumberGuess
webapp.build.dir=${build.dir}/${webapp.name}
webapp.virtual.host=localhost
# Tomcat properties
tomcat.home=C:/DevTools/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9
tomcat.deployment.dir=${tomcat.home}/webapps
When I manually shutdown Tomcat, I am able to run my undeploy target just
fine... But I need it to be able to undeploy while Tomcat is running.
Many, many thanks!
