Hi >> i have to rebuild the war file meaning >> i >> have to recompile everything.
I have been using Eclipse / Tomcat for build deploy and as far as the Compilation is considered correct, But why rebuild the **.war" , Can u write an ANT script to copy the modified *.class or *.jsp or *.properties file to the respective folder under TOMCAT/WEBAPPS/APPLIC But u need to restart the TOMCAT if re-loadable flag is not set to true in global "web.xml" :) With regards Karthik -----Original Message----- From: Ziggy [mailto:zigg...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 10, 2009 1:19 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Deploying and building a war file Hi Ken, I do use eclipse but only for development. I cant really deploy from eclipse for several reasons. One of them being that the deployment server is a different machine from where i do the development.
