LOL!

I read the first line of your response and automatically thought:
oh my god...

Then I laughed when I saw the "just kidding!" part.

You're welcome & thanks for the laugh.

This is a fundamental question, but I can't find an answer to it

Probably right in from of my nose.

I have set up my development environment exactly as directed in the

tomcat
docs. When I ``ant install'', the app is copied to the

<tomcat>/webapps
directory, and a subsequent ``ant compile'' after a JSP change updates

the
copy in the build directory, but tomcat doesn't see it unless I do a ``remove'' and ``install''. I expected ``install'' to deploy it from

the
build directory.

Is there some setting in server.xml or web.xml that allows this? I

don't
want to develop in the <tomcat>/webapps directory.

Thanks

Hi Tim,

Assuming your application is called "tim" and you want to map it to

"/tim"

Place a tim.xml file in: ${TOMCAT_INSTALLATION}/conf/Catalina/localhost/

tim.xml contains:
=================
<Context path="/tim" reloadable="true" docBase="LOCATION OF YOUR COMPILED CODE!" />

build.xml:
==========
Tell ant to compile the code in the location specified in tim.xml

Now, your applicaiton will reload everytime you re-build and you won't have to develop in the <tomcat>/webapps directory.
Hope this helps.
Aladin


But my application isn't called "tim".

Just kidding! That works great, thanks. This should be mentioned in the Application Developer's Guide of the Tomcat docs.

Tim S.
