At 20:18 8/10/2001 -0400, you wrote:


These three methods of starting tomcat work for me, but every single one
causes ant to block while tomcat is running.  I am trying to get ant to
start tomcat, and continue running.


Ant won't start a process and abandon it - a search of the mailing list
archives should have brought this discussion up.

You may be able to use the "parallel" task (introduced in v1.4) to run
the server in one thread while another interrogates it, however.

Cheers,
Bevan.
