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

Ok, well I figured it out.

I should have tested with another version of Tomcat.  It seems that they 
modified the web.xml for the manager context.  Instead of configuring the 
Manager servlet with a servlet-mapping of "/*", they explicitly defined 
each possible mapping.  However, they forgot to include "/deploy".  I added 
that to the mapping and the security constraint web-resource-collection and 
everything works fine now.  Man, that is two weekends where I've spent a 
*ton* of time trying to figure out what seems like a simple issue and each 
time it turned out to be a bug I was beating my head against!  Ugh!!!!  I 
reported the bug in Apache's Bugzilla system.
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16243


Later today I will check in changes to allow for a working 
catalina-deploy.  This includes building a .war file in WEB-INF/tmp$ and 
filter copying sample.ccf.xml to WEB-INF/tmp$/META-INF/context.xml.

The process can be reviewed by others and we can make changes as to what 
gets included in the .war file and where it gets built.  all are easily 
modifiable.

BTW, I'm also modifying properties files to be loaded in the following order...

     <property file="${user.home}/${ant.project.name}-build.properties"/>
     <property file="${user.home}/build.properties"/>
     <property environment="env"/>
     <property file="version.properties"/>
     <property file="build.properties"/>
     <property file="sample.build.properties"/>

This will make user-specified overrides both common and Barracuda project 
specific properties simple.  Specifically, the reason I am doing this now 
is so that we don't have to put a valid manager.username and 
manager.password in build.properties.  They can be overridden by each user, 
thus, avoiding advertising some ones private information and make the 
Barracuda build capable of user-defined defaults for compilation and 
whatever else.
