Hi, I just wrote an ant skript for my Project and i asked myself if there were plans to use ant for deploying the war to Tomcat.
It is very easy, u just have to copy catalina-ant.jar from tomcat to ant directory and modifiy tomcats server.xml and the ant skript. look at this for further detail http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2003/01/08/tomcat4.html So maybe this could avoid all the installation problems with renaming the war file, or could help the developers under us to work much more faster mfg stefan
