Re: Fwd: catalina ant deploy task problem...

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for the hints.  I'll check these things out.  As far a renaming 
ccf.xml, there is no need to do that.  For one, sampl.ccf.xml always has 
the filter tokens.  ccf.xml will have the necessary info for running the 
"catalina-install" task.  All I do for the "catalina-deploy" task is to do 
another filter copy of sample.ccf.xml to WEB-INF/tmp$/META-INF with the 
docBase being the name of the .war file (Barracuda.war) rather than the 
physical path to the "Barracuda" directory like ccf.xml has.  Leaving 
things in place will work just fine.

In reference to your first point, thanks for providing the information 
about the multiple forward slashes.  However, curiously, the 3 forward 
slashes work just fine for the install task....and when I go directly to 
the Tomcat manager GUI app and use the path from the original email to 
enter as the URL for the .war file, it installs Barracuda just fine.  So, I 
think Tomcat is able to find the app just fine.  I will look into 
increasing debugging and checking file permissions.  However, I am logged 
in as Administrator and tried both starting Tomcat from the command line 
and having the service log in as "Administrator".  So,  it should have had 
full write access.  I didn't know that it sent the file to the "work" 
directory.  I'll check there to see if it shows up.  Oh, and "yes" for #4.

thanks,

Jake
