Hello Kaushal,
the easiest is to install ant on the remote host and kick off ant
remotely, maybe from another ant process.
ant can do all what you want (backing up, copying, deleting, ...). Just
open the manual.
Maybe develop/test your deployment script on the server where tomcat is
running first.
When you get it to do what you want, start invoking it remotely.
If the remote invocation is from ant, you can do it using the <sshexec/>
task.
If you need to pass parameters to the deployment scripts running on the
tomcat host, then use -D on the command line
for instance you can do something like
<sshexec host="tomcat.host" .... command=". ~/.profile; /opt/ant/bin/ant
-f deploy.xml -Dtomcat.warfile=/tmp/abc.war"/>
(complete the password or identity file attributes of sshexec as
appropriate).
Regards,
Antoine

Thanks Antoine :)
Hi,
We face issues whenever we deploy application using tomcat manager we
used to face the situation where new
changes were not reflected. On stopping, cleaning work folder and
starting tomcat again application used to get deployed properly. But
to restart and clean we need to ssh again on the machine where we want
to deploy defeating our main purpose.
Also one more issue we have faced is we are not able to locate the new
war file where Tomcat manager has deployed it
We need to have a tool that does the following on specified remote hosts
1. stop the tomcat
2. back up the existing war
3. remove existing wars and folders and copy the new war
4. start the tomcat again
Are the above steps possible using ant or is there a better and
efficient way to do it ?
Please suggest/guide.
Thanks and Regards,
Kaushal
