Hi I'm trying to get started with Tomcat 7.0.6 on Win7. I'm able to deploy using WAR upload form in Manager, but deploying using ant (1.8.2) "deploy" task fails -- it just lists a bunch of html (without an error message) and then says that BUILD FAILED.
I wrote my build.xml according to sample from Tomcat 7.0 documentation ( http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/appdev/build.xml.txt). Only thing I changed was manager.url -- because I suspect that there is a mistake in the sample. It says that manager.url should be "[...]/manager" but with this i would get only FileNotFoundException. So I changed it to "[...]/manager/html", and got following result: D:\workspace-stuff\TomcatTestProject>ant install Buildfile: D:\workspace-stuff\TomcatTestProject\build.xml Trying to override old definition of datatype resources prepare: compile: install: [deploy] <html> [deploy] <head> [deploy] <style> [deploy] H1 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:2 2px;} H2 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:16px;} H3 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:14px;} BODY { font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:black;background-color:white;} B {font-family:Tahoma,Arial ,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;} P {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;background :white;color:black;font-size:12px;}A {color : black;}A.name {color : black;}HR {color : #525D76;} [deploy] table { [deploy] width: 100%; [deploy] } [deploy] td.page-title { [deploy] text-align: center; ...

Hopefully someone can give me advice how to get deploying through ant working! Aivar
