Sorry if I wasn't clear. Let me try to explain better: By default, when I compile and install the application named 'lcs' with Ant, it is installed to the Tomcat webapps directory. So the path is $Tomcat\webapps\lcs. I would instead like to have it installed to c:\lcs I would also like requests for /lcs to be served from the c:\lcs directory. I'm able to do this manually: I copy the application manually from $Tomcat\webapps\lcs to c:\lcs, set up an lcs.xml context fragment in Catalina/localhost, and it works the way I want it to. However, when I next compile and install the app with Ant, it is again deployed to $Tomcat\webapps\lcs, when instead I'd like it to go to c:\lcs. Does that make sense? From my reading of the manual, it seems like this is possible but I'm not able to get it working in practice. >> However, despite doing this, the application is still always deployed >> to C:\program files\Tomcat\webapps\lcs instead of C:\lcs. > > So fix your script to copy the webapp to the desired location. When you say "your script", which script do you mean? I'm using the standard Ant build.xml that's shown in the Tomcat online docs.
