Hello Arnold, In this type of issues you should get something like this in the catalina.out:
ERROR org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/manager] - HTMLManager: FAIL - Deploy Upload Failed, Exception: [org.apache.tomcat.util.http.fileupload.FileUploadBase$SizeLimitExceededException: the request was rejected because its size (355668026) exceeds the configured maximum (52428800)] It looks like is more in the ant side. Have you tried directly with the /manager application? Hope it helps, Luis 2018-05-24 17:51 GMT+02:00 Arnold Morein <arnie.mor...@me.com>: > Have been working on a WAR project that is pretty big (104MB) against > Tomcat 8.
