Sorry, I never noticed that the web site calls this the "User Guide", though it should have been completely obvious. I have all kinds of gripes about the online documentation that I generally keep quiet about :) Sorry for the confusion. >> You're right: the ant tasks are almost completely undocumented.

After building the source package, I can see that catalina-ant.jar exists and contains JKStatusUpdateTask.class: 6529 Defl:N 2608 60% 12-09-09 12:16 2839cd3b org/apache/catalina/ant/JKStatusUpdateTask.class > Correct me if I am > wrong, but Tomcat Manager has its ant tasks in catalina-ant.jar The manager itself doesn't care where the tasks are located. I would suspect that the manager uses JMX to do its (re-)deployments rather than calling-out to ant to do its dirty work. IIRC, it's the other way around: the ant tasks use the manager app do to /their/ dirty work. > but > JK Status Worker has its ant tasks in tomcat-jkstatus-ant.jar file. I don't see a tomcat-jkstatus-ant.jar file at all. The catalina-ant.jar file contains the JKStatusUpdateTask when I build it per the instructions in BUILDING.txt that came with the source package. I'm not sure why the binary package doesn't include this JAR. > In the meanwhile, it would be great if someone could make the latest > version tomcat-jkstatus-ant.jar available for download separately! Or, at least along with the binary distribution of Tomcat.
