ANT: deploying and undeploying to Tomcat

[miguel lisboa]

i must be doing something wrong, since the same reference path sometimes works and sometimes doesnt

here is a part of my ant build file:
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "ISO-8859-1"?> <project name = "projBlog" default = "create-war" basedir = "."> <property name = "CATALINA_HOME" value = "..\..\Programas\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5" /> <target name = "undeploy"> <delete file="${CATALINA_HOME}/webapps/Blog.war" /> <delete dir = "$CATALINA_HOME}/webapps/Blog" /> </target> <target name = "deploy" description = "war on server"> <copy file="dist/Blog.war" todir="..\..\Programas\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5/webapps/"/> </target> </project>
the undeploy target works perfectly
my Question is: why, on my last target, do i have to write the whole path (in order to get it working), instead of using the "CATALINA_HOME" way?
when i use the catalina it assumes that catalina is a subfolder under my current dir

not sure if i was clear enough
can someone please give me a hand at this?

thanks in advance

It would have been more helpful if you have posted the build.xml that doesn't work. Looking at what you did post, line 9 has a typo, if line 13 had the same typo then I can see why it would misbehave.

you got it right!
i corrected the errors, used

<copy file="dist/Blog.war" todir="${CATALINA_HOME}/webapps/"/>

and all works fine now

thank you, Peter
