Start Tomcat within eclipse from ANT task [message #541938]

Hi all

I am trying to restart Eclipse internal Tomcat in order to automate some deployment process of our web services within eclipse.

To start tomcat in my IDE I click the start tomcat within the Eclipse IDE (see attached Image)http://techteam.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/m77cdad3d.png
I would like to be able to start the same Tomcat using ANT,

If I will start tomcat normally from :
c:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\bin\startup.bat
I will have to make sure that my web project is deployed to
c:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\

If I will be able to start the IDE tomcat server then the IDE will take care of the deployment to its internal webapps (or linkage to webapps)

Thank you.
Sharon

If you start the Tomcat server in Eclipse, switch to the Debug
perspective and go to the Debug view, you can right-click on the first
subitem in the tree and select "Properties". The dialog that appears
will show you the Java command line that runs the Tomcat server.
Executing this command outside of Eclipse or within Ant will run the
Tomcat server in exactly the same way that Eclipse does. What this
doesn't do that the "Start Server" command in Eclipse typically does is
force changes to be published. I'm not sure how or if that can be done
from Ant.

Cheers,

Thank you Larry,
I was able to find the command :

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_13\bin\java.exe"
agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,suspend=y,address=localhos t:2468
"-Dcatalina.base=C:\Documents and Settings\sharonw\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.ws t.server.core\tmp1 "
"-Dcatalina.home=c:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5"
"-Dwtp.deploy=C:\Documents and Settings\sharonw\workspace"
"-Djava.endorsed.dirs=c:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\common\endorsed"
-Xms256m -Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=-XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Dfile.encoding=Cp1255
"-Xbootclasspath:C:\PATH..." org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start

But it fail to run:

ERROR: transport error 202: connect failed: Connection refused ["transport.c",L41]
ERROR: JDWP Transport dt_socket failed to initialize, TRANSPORT_INIT(510) ["debugInit.c",L500]
JDWP exit error JVMTI_ERROR_INTERNAL(113):

The fact that you get this outside of Eclipse indicates it's a problem
between Java and your system. Google may be able to provide an answer.
You might start with this one:
