Hello, I am trying to setup a build.xml file for a servlet. I am using the following 2 URL's as references:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/manager-howto.html#Executing%20Manager%20Commands%20With%20Ant http://www.onjava.com/onjava/2003/01/08/examples/build.xml.html So my problem is I don't understand how day-to-day development would work using this build.xml file. For example, let's say I change some code that will run on the servlet in a file called: MyServlet.java. What series of ant commands would I run to reflect the change? Would it be: ant undeploy ant deploy ant gui I'm just asking because it seems like 'ant undeploy' and 'ant deploy' are time-consuming to run if all I'm changing is one file. I kind of confused on how 'ant reload' is supposed to be used in the context of these files. I guess for 'ant reload' I would have to manually copy the output of javac to the tomcat folder? Does anyone have a more elegant build.xml file (or have a suggestion for creating one.) Thank you very much. A solution to this problem will no doubt save me a lot of development time.
