Bo,
Assuming your remote tomcat5 is serving on host ${deploy.host} and port
${deploy.port} and your tomcat user with user id and password of
${deploy.username} and ${deploy.password} has a manager role, try something
like this:
<property name="tomcat-home" location="/usr/local/tomcat"/>
<property name="instance" value="testwebapp"/>
<property name="deploy.path" value="/testwebapp"/>
<property name="dist" location="/tmp"/>
<property name="war.name" value="myapp.war"/>
<property name="deploy.url" value="http://${deploy.host}:
${deploy.port}/manager"/>
<path id="deployer.classpath">
<pathelement location="${tomcat.home}/server/lib/catalina-ant.jar"/>
<pathelement
location="${tomcat.home}/common/lib/jasper-compiler.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${tomcat.home}/common/lib/jasper-runtime.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${tomcat.home}/common/lib/servlet-api.jar"/>
<pathelement
location="${tomcat.home}/common/lib/commons-logging.jar"/>
</path>
<!-- define deployer tasks -->
<taskdef resource="org/apache/catalina/ant/catalina.tasks"
classpathref="deployer.classpath"/>
<target name="deploy" description="Install web application"
depends="war">
<echo message="Deploying ${instance} instance of ${app} to
${deploy.instance} tomcat at ${deploy.host}:
${deploy.port}/${deploy.path}"/>
<deploy url="${deploy.url}"
username="${deploy.username}" password="${deploy.password}"
path="${deploy.path}" war="${dist}/${war.name}"/>
</target>
<target name="undeploy" description="Undeploy web application">
<echo message="Undeploying ${instance} instance of ${app} from
${deploy.instance} tomcat at ${deploy.host}:
${deploy.port}/${deploy.path}"/>
<undeploy url="${deploy.url}" username="${deploy.username}"
password="${deploy.password}"
path="${deploy.path}"/>
</target>
