关于ANT管理TOMCAT

TOMCAT和ANT都是APACHE的开源项目。TOMCAT自带了ANT作为JSP编译器及TOMCAT管理工具。
 
TOMCAT自带的管理界面:
http://localhost/admin/
http://localhost/manager/html/
 
admin和manager分别负责TOMCAT的配置和管理。这里主要使用manager对TOMCAT下的单个WEB应用进行重启等操作
 
1、首先设置用户
E:\Tomcat 5.0\conf\tomcat-users.xml
  <user username="manager" password="1234" roles="manager"/>
  <user username="admin" password="1234" roles="admin,manager"/>
 
2、正常地登录本机管理界面看是否能正常使用
http://localhost/manager/html/
 
3、需要找到TOMCAT目录中ant拓展的JAR包 ,此包负责一些和TOMCAT有关的TARGET拓展
catalina-ant.jar
 
4、build.xml  &  build.properties
<!-- The build.xml -->
<project name="test" default="about" basedir=".">
 <description>
        The build.xml of this project, used by ant. Do NOT modify this file unless mastering ant.
    </description>
 <property file="build.properties" />
 <taskdef name="start" classname="org.apache.catalina.ant.StartTask">
 </taskdef>
 <taskdef name="stop" classname="org.apache.catalina.ant.StopTask">
 </taskdef>

 <target name="reload" description="Reload application in Tomcat">
  <reload url="${tomcat.manager.url}" username="${tomcat.manager.username}" password="${tomcat.manager.password}" path="/${webapp.name}" />
 </target>
 <target name="start" description="Start Tomcat application">
  <start url="${tomcat.manager.url}" username="${tomcat.manager.username}" password="${tomcat.manager.password}" path="/${webapp.name}" />
 </target>
 <target name="stop" description="Stop Tomcat application">
  <stop url="${tomcat.manager.url}" username="${tomcat.manager.username}" password="${tomcat.manager.password}" path="/${webapp.name}" />
 </target>
 <target name="about" depends="" description="">
  <description>
         The build.xml of this project, used by ant. Do NOT modify this file unless mastering ant.
     </description>
 </target>
</project>
 
webapp.name=caseanalysis
tomcat.home=E:/Tomcat 5.0
tomcat.manager.url=http://localhost/manager
tomcat.manager.username=manager
tomcat.manager.password=1234
 

视情况需要在taskdef中加入classpath
  <classpath>
   <path location="${appserver.home}/server/lib/catalina-ant.jar" />
  </classpath>
 
注:java.io.IOException  401错误什么的,是用户名密码错
