All,

For the first time ever, I have the need to use the Tomcat admin
application: I have a project whose whole unit testing capability
revolves around being able to deploy webapps for testing to a running
Tomcat instance using the admin application.

My understanding is that the admin app is basically dead.

I downloaded the admin app from the TC 5.5 download page and it doesn't
run in a TC instance with nothing else in it:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/modeler/Registry
        at java.lang.Class.getDeclaredMethods0(Native Method)
        at java.lang.Class.privateGetDeclaredMethods(Class.java:2395)
        at java.lang.Class.getMethod0(Class.java:2642)
        at java.lang.Class.getMethod(Class.java:1579)
        at
org.apache.commons.beanutils.MethodUtils.getMatchingAccessibleMethod(MethodUtils.java:535)
        at
org.apache.commons.beanutils.MethodUtils.invokeMethod(MethodUtils.java:209)
        at
org.apache.commons.digester.CallMethodRule.end(CallMethodRule.java:625)

(etc.)

The manager application comes with no libraries, so it's no surprise
that it can't find some library.

Is the admin app really dead? If so, why is it (still) available for
download from the TC 5.5 page. If it /is/ dead, does any other product
feature the capabilities required for using the Catalina Ant tasks such
as install/deploy and undeploy/remove? I know that, say, Lambda Probe
can deploy/undeploy, but do I have to re-write all the test targets in
order to do that?

Thanks,
- -chris
