I've used ant to write a deploy task which is parameterized. Then I can wrap an iteration task around it and undeploy + deploy on all n Tomcats.
It does depend on http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/tasks/tasks/foreach.html <!-- ================================================================= --> <!-- TOMCAT / Deploy / Undeploy TARGETS --> <!-- ================================================================= --> <!-- Deploy the htmout files to all defined application servers.
