The final target called “tomcat-check-status” is called by the “tomcat-stop” and Tomcat is only stopped if the target returns that Tomcat is running. We must then define the start and stop Tomcat targets as follows: Here is my build.properties file: root.dir=.įirstly you must tell Ant where the Tomcat classpath is located.
The assumptions are that the penultimate task is called war and that there is a build.properties file that defines the required directories.
This example shows how to automate the starting of the Tomcat server. However, the process can be automated a little further by starting the Tomcat server after the final deploy task has finished. One task that is particularly useful is the compile and deploy a web application. Apache ant is a tool used to automate repetitive development tasks.
