Hi all,

	That's how I finally made tomcat start from my Ant script.=20

Start Tomcat:

    <target name=3D"startTomcat" description=3D"Starts Local Tomcat =
Server">
        <echo message=3D"Tomcat Startup file located @ =
${tomcat.home}\bin\startup.bat"/>
        <exec dir=3D"${tomcat.home}\bin" =
executable=3D"${tomcat.home}\bin\startup.bat"
              newenvironment=3D"true" os=3D"Windows 2000" =
vmlauncher=3D"false">
        </exec>
    </target>

or

    <target name=3D"startTomcat" description=3D"Starts Local Tomcat =
Server">
        <exec dir=3D"${tomcat.home}/bin" executable=3D"cmd.exe"
              newenvironment=3D"true">
            <arg value=3D"/C"/>
            <arg value=3D"startup.bat"/>
       </exec>
   </target>

	Both targets works practically the same. One small issue comes with =
both of these solutions: when I execute them, the startup.bat file does =
not return the control to my console and I have to send a Ctrl+C =
keystroke and answer 'n' when the shell ask me if I want to finish the =
batch job. It is kind of annoying, but I haven't found any workaround on =
this... besides this small inconvenient, it works just as good as it =
gets.

Stop Tomcat:

    <target name=3D"stopTomcat" description=3D"Starts Local Tomcat =
Server">
        <exec dir=3D"${tomcat.home}\bin" =
executable=3D"${tomcat.home}\bin\shutdown.bat"
              newenvironment=3D"true" os=3D"Windows 2000"/>
    </target>

	No issues on this target... is executed fine and returns the control =
fine.

	Thanks for your help. I really appreciated it and was very helpful.

BTW, these are my settings, in case you have something similar

OS: Win2K
JDK: 1.3.1 / 1.4.1_02
ANT: 1.5.2
Jakarta Tomcat: 4.1.27

You can execute a bath file by using vmlauncher=3D"false". I think you =
can also=20
execute a batch file by givin the full path to it but I'm not 100% on =
that
