I am using ant 1.7 to deploy and undeploy applications in tomcat
//Snippet from my build.xml
<target name="deploy" depends="war" description="Install application to the servlet containor">
<deploy url="${tomcat.
manager.url}"
username="${manager.user}"
password="${manager.passwd}"
path="/${tomcat.ctxpath}"
war="${war.local}" />
</target>
<target name="undeploy" description="Removes Web Application from path">
<undeploy url="${tomcat.
manager.url}"
username="${manager.user}"
password="${manager.passwd}"
path="/${tomcat.ctxpath}" />
</target>
The deploy
task works perfectly fine but the undeploy
task gives an html output for the undeploy
task prefixed with [undeploy] although the application is undeployed successfully
The html message also contains the success message 'OK - Undeployed application at context path /MyApplication'
OUTPUT:
[undeploy] <html>
