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\

again points to
c:/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.6/webapps/bfg/
I run ant with the following and I get the below, I do not know why it creates
C:\tomcat\webapps\bfg
Not :
c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.6\webapps\bfg
---------------------------------
init:
compile:
dist:
[mkdir] Created dir: C:\tomcat\webapps\bfg\WEB-INF\lib
[mkdir] Created dir: C:\tomcat\webapps\bfg\logs
[jar] Building jar: C:\tomcat\webapps\bfg\WEB-INF\lib\bfgclasses.jar
[copy] Copying 3 files to C:\tomcat\webapps\bfg\WEB-INF
[mkdir] Created dir: C:\tomcat\webapps\bfg\jsp
[copy] Copying 35 files to C:\tomcat\webapps\bfg\jsp
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 1 second
C:\TEMP\cartapp\bfg>
(this is where I have the xml and cartapp files) � temp /../
AM I doing something wrong with ant?
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.
