What scope are you doing the taskdefs for the Tomcat ANT tasks?


I guess "global" -- the <taskdef/>s are immediate children of the <project/> root. But I was unaware of the concept of scope in Ant -- where is it defined in the manual[1]--I can read up on this, or if someone can give me a quick example of what to do here, it would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Glen

Hello,

I have an Ant build script for dynamic deployment of a web application to Tomcat. This requires a special Tomcat JARs to be added to the Ant lib directory to run. No problem here--Ant runs fine once I add the jar.

But I have small additional target unrelated to deployment I would like my tech writer (she knows how to use Ant) to use to do some testing/modification of a stylesheet. When I gave her the buildfile, Ant refused to run the target because it could not find the Tomcat JARs mentioned above--even though these JARs are not used in this particular target.

Of the two immediate solutions--quickly dump the Tomcat JAR in her Ant/lib directory, or just comment out the deployment task in her version of the file, I did the latter--and everything works fine.

But question--do I have a third option--is there an option I can set to have Ant run even if it is missing some optional JARS, *if* those JARs are unneeded by the specific target being run?

Thanks,
Glen
