I know Startup and Shutdown have been covered ad nausaeum
Start tomcat with Ant build.xml
<target name="start" >
<exec executable="${tomcat.home}/bin/startup.bat" os="Windows 2000" />
</target>
It should work.
To stop the server with Ant build.xml
<target name=stop">
<exec executable="${tomcat.home}/bin/shutdown.bat" os="Windows 2000" />
</target>
The thing is once Tomcat is installed either as console or as a service
would you want operators to 'easily' uninstall it?
Installing/Uninstalling Tomcat is a painful in most shops with the
side-effect that Tomcat has a tendency to 'stay put' once the install is
declared stable.
I can see 'hot deploy' as a better use of a developer's time..ie installing
non-core pieces while Tomcat is running with a cache refresh picking up the
new pieces (components) at a later time..
Something to think about..
