Hello Peter,
I do not know why you exec does now work, but assuming
that you are trying to start Tomcat, why do not invoke
it via <java> & <macrodef> tasks like this:
<macrodef name="tomcat.utils" description="Macrodef
for starting/stopping Tomcat">
<!-- the action passed to tomcat bootstrap process
-->
<attribute name="action"/>
<sequential>
<java
classname="org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap"
fork="yes" failonerror="yes">
<classpath>
<pathelement
location="${catalina.home}/bin/bootstrap.jar"/>
</classpath>
<arg value="@{action}"/>
<sysproperty key="catalina.home"
value="${catalina.home}"/>
</java>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
You can later invoke the macordef like this:
<target name="start-tomcat" depends="-init"
description="Starts Tomcat" unless="tomcat.up">
<tomcat.utils action="start"/>
</target>
<target name="stop-tomcat" depends="-init"
description="Stops Tomcat">
<tomcat.utils action="stop"/>
</target>
