Re: create and deploy war to tomcat

[Narayanan R Pillai <strqst400@xxxxxxxxx>]

Lim,

Assuming windows development environment :

1. Download ant  ( http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi )
2. Unzip into C:\Ant
3. Set an environment variable ANT_HOME to C:\Ant
4. Add %ANT_HOME%\bin to your path

create a build file ( build.xml ) in the root directory of your 
application that looks something like this :

at the command line run ant. If all goes well your application should 
compile and build into a war.

> I created a project in eclipse that contains JSP, servlet, java classes and html.  I've been manually creating the war file to deploy them to tomcat, quite a pain.  I've heard that Ant is a better approach on doing this.  Does anybody have an example of how Ant work?
