Ziggy These days I'm more familiar with Maven (which solves this simply) however from the days of Ant I think the following might help a little:
>From memory most ant scripts are custom. You have to add the command to copy >libraries etc. You will probably need to add an extra set of commands to the build.xml and a second directory for 'provided' (maven term) libraries. I can't give you much more of a guide than that unless I see the build.xml script.

This is fine but when i build the war file using ANT, it refuses to build the war file unless i have the jdbc driver in the application's WEB-INF/lib folder. I dont want to do this because i will then end up with two jar files of the same. i.e. one in Tomcat's common lib and the other in WEB-INF/lib. How can i build the war file without putting the library in WEB-INF/lib? Thanks --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
