Yo don't have to restart anything to redeploy your WAR What I see is that your autoDeploy is ON. Just drop the new WAR , tomcat will do all the work for you.

Now I'm starting to do webapp development. By experiment I've found the way to re-deploy a webapp when running Tomcat as a service is: Stop Tomcat service (with Procrun) Remove the subdirectory of the webapp to be updated from .../Tomcat 5.5/webapps subdirectory Drop the war into .../Tomcat 5.5/webapps subdirectory Start Tomcat (with Procrun) And this works fine. I'd like to do the same sequence inside Ant as part of the webapp build. I can stop the Tomcat service from the commandline with "tomcat5.exe //SS//" and I expect that will work from inside Ant too. But how do I *restart* Tomcat WinXP service from inside Ant? "tomcat5.exe //SS//" doesn't work (the service how-to says it's called only from the Service Manager). I hesitate to try "tomcat5.exe //IS//" until someone gives me the go-ahead After all, I've *stopped* tomcat with //SS// not uninstalled the service ... and why install something (with //IS//) that's already there? Thanks in advance for your help.
