Hello Peter and Igor, Here is a code the makes a slightly different task - it checks whether a war file has been deployed correctly using <waitfor> task [1] and <http> [2] condition:
<property name="install.context" value="mywebapp"/> <property name="install.port" value="8080"/> <property name="install.httpurl" value="http://localhost:${install.port}/${install.context}/index.jsp"/> <target name="deploy" depends="initdb" description="Deploys arcade's war"> <copy file="${basedir}/${branch}${project.name}.war" tofile="${catalina.home}/webapps/${project.name}.war"/> <waitfor timeoutproperty="time.out.property"> <http url="${install.httpurl}"/> </waitfor> <fail if="time.out.property" message="Deployment failed. Check whether Tomcat Service is started and if not start it."/> <echo message="Deployment finished. Arcade application is ready to be accessed"/> </target> Besides <http> condition you can use also <socket> that probes for a listening application on a given port.
