I am using ant to distribute a set of folders for a web application. I am using a book called mySQL and jspIt is a zip file, which I unzip. the xml files I have to change are not read only - but the higher level files are and I have tried unchecking the read only attribute but is gets rechecked to read only. The build is the build file: Where I point to: c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.6\webapps\bfg\ ---------------------------------------------------------------- <project name="BfgWebsite" default="dist" basedir="."> <property name="tomcatdir" value="/tomcat"/> <property name="appdir" value="${tomcatdir}/webapps/bfg"/> <property name="jarfile" value="bfgclasses.jar"/> <target name="init"> <tstamp/> </target> <target name="compile" depends="init"> <javac srcdir="src"> <classpath> <pathelement path="${classpath}"/> <pathelement path="src"/> <fileset dir="c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.6\lib"> <include name="**/*.jar"/> </fileset> <fileset dir="c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.6\common"> <include name="**/*.jar"/> </fileset> <fileset dir="c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.6\webapps\bfg\WEB-INF\lib\"> <include name="**/*.jar"/> <exclude name="bfgclasses.jar"/> </fileset> </classpath> </javac> </target>

I tried taking the read write off the files, but it will not stay off, but it is not on the xml files � would this make a difference? Not sure what else to try

Look at these two properties from the beginning of the build file: <property name="tomcatdir" value="/tomcat"/> <property name="appdir" value="${tomcatdir}/webapps/bfg"/>
And then look at where your stuff is going. See the relationship? Look where you are creating the jar... <jar jarfile="${appdir}/WEB-INF/lib/${jarfile}">
I'm not sure what's going on with the read/write permissions, but your main question seems to be why stuff shows up in: C:\tomcat\webapps\bfg instead of c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.6\webapps\bfg. That has nothing to do with write permissions. It's because you define the appdir property to be ${tomcatdir}/webapps/bfg and the tomcatdir property to be /tomcat. I think Ant is just doing what you're telling it to do. Maybe I misunderstood the question though?
D'oh! What Tom said. I'm off to practice my speed typing.
