I'm trying to install a webapp in a different base directory other than webapps under the tomcat base, using ant.
This worked perfectly under 4.1.31 but under 5.5.17 it wants to dump the application in webapps. What have I forgotten or over looked? The ant build file looks like this: <taskdef name="deploy" classname="org.apache.catalina.ant.DeployTask"/> <target name="deploy" description="Deploy application to servlet container"> <deploy url="${manager.url}" username="${manager.username}" password="${manager.password}" path="${app.path}" war="file://${build.home}"/> </target>
