+1. Please remove any Tomcat/Catalina jars from there. 2014-03-29 3:41 GMT+04:00 Brendan Miller <catph...@catphive.net>: > I was going through the tomcat docs and trying to use the default build.xml > file provided by the appdev tutorial to deploy my war to tomcat. > > Example build.xml: > http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/appdev/build.xml.txt > You missed this: <property name="catalina.home" value="../../../.."/> <!-- UPDATE THIS! --> You have not configured catalina.home property. As such, <path id="compile.classpath"> was not created properly and taskdef using it failed, <taskdef resource="org/apache/catalina/ant/catalina.tasks" classpathref="compile.classpath"/> Maybe one should add some sanity check (a <fail> task) for that property.

My first glance, and I see that that is mentioned, here: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/appdev/processes.html#One-Time_Setup_of_Ant_and_Tomcat_for_Development >> Overall the appdev tutorial is pretty problematic because it >> doesn't really include a complete example and seems to have kind of >> random organization. > > Patches are always welcome. +1. The tutorial needs good review and rewrite, but nobody has stepped up for the task.
