Ant could not deploy the web application

[Uma Bandaru]

I wrote a build file to create and deploy an application on Apache. I ran the build file and it copied all the required files into the webapps directory of Apache home, but when I ran the command: "ant list", I cannot see my application. All the other applications are running fine.Can any one please help?

The directory structure of my application in webapps is as follows:

Apache
webapps
springapp
web-inf
classes, lib, springapp-servlet.xml, web.xml

lib folder contains: commons-logging.jar, junit4.4.jar, spring.jar, spring-webmvc.jar

[Bear Bibeault]

When you say "Apache" do you mean Apache (which cannot serve Servlet applications) or Tomcat (which can)?

[Uma Bandaru]

Sorry, I meant Tomcat

What does "ant list" suppose to do? Check Tomcat log files after deployment.

[Uma Bandaru]

"ant list" lists all the deployed applications on Tomcat. Basically I meant to say that my application is not deployed and I am not able to view the HTML or JSP pages. I was following the online SPRING tutorial (http://static.springsource.org/docs/Spring-MVC-step-by-step/part1.html) to develop a SPRING MVC application, but got stuck at the very beginning stage.

[Misha Ver]

Did you checked Tomcat logs?

[Uma Bandaru]

Yes. And I found this whole tirade of exceptions:

Please use code tags in the future. As for your application, you know the errors and it is time to troubleshoot. I'm not sure what is your exact goal - learning ANT, Tomcat, just deploying an application. In any case simplify your deployment - uninstall unnecessary applications, make a simple app, deploy it without ANT and then gradually increase complexity.

[Uma Bandaru]

Problem is solved. I created a "temp" directory inside my $APACHE_HOME directory and it solved the problem. Thanks a lot for your helpful advice.
