am using ant 1.6.2 version. I am having problem with ant target used to start tomcat server. Tomcat server is 5.5.20 version. The target is as follows <target name="start_tomcat_server" description="starts the tomcat server"> <echo message="starting tomcat server "/> <exec dir="${local.dir}/Tomcat/bin/ " executable="startup.bat" resolveexecutable="true" > </exec> </target>
I get the the following message , when I run the target [exec] Result -1723061 The tomcat server does not start. Iam running this target from eclipse environment version 3.2. Any ideas as to what could be the reason ?? I googled on this topic , but was not able to find substantial information , to solve this problem. When I use startup.bat(tomcat/bin/startup.bat) , I can start tomcat,without any problem. thanks, Suchitha.
