The point about a war is that you should just be able to put it in the right directory and it'll just work. See Tomcat docs for more info, but webapps/ seems likely. >I have made the website prettier and more readable, and removed the >Server Side Includes in favour of my own invention: >Ant parsed html. Very nice indeed. It's looks great.

Mmm. Personally, I'd rather see the docs not live in the source tree. I think they should be in their own directory in the distribution (/docs/api perhaps) and should be built by Ant to their own directoy. >Please have a play, I am desperate for feedback, preferably before I >announce to other lists. I think the latter parts of the installation document might be slightly out of date, now. Is this right? >cheers >timp Cheers, Myles |
