Hey Jeff- Ant is primarily a Nix utility which has been ported to DOS so relative pathnames like '/fu/bar/fubar' always work but DOS paths like 'C:\Program Files\Way Too Many Spaces\Big Long ProgramName With Spaces.exe doesnt work the workaround is dir /X (give me short name) so in the case of C:\Program Files\fu becomes C:\PROGRA~1\fu (which uses the shortened directory name)

It is failing when I use this: <install url="${tomcat.manager.url}" username="${tomcat.username}" password="${tomcat.password}" path="/SpeechApps/TransactionModel60_20060612141031" war="file:C:\Program Files\public\SpeechApps\TransactionModel60_20060612141031\"/> but succeeding when I do this: <install url="${tomcat.manager.url}" username="${tomcat.username}" password="${tomcat.password}" path="/SpeechApps/TransactionModel60_20060612141031" war="file:C:\Program Files\public\SpeechApps\TransactionModel60_20060612141031\"/> The only difference is the "path". In Tomcat 5.0 this works fine but not in tomcat 5.5. Is this a bug? Am I doing something incorrectly? I also tried using context.xml and the deploy tasks with the same result. Any help would be appreciated. Jeff
