Ok guys, I’m pulling my hair out here.

I’m building my first real Ant script and I’m stuck.

I have the following dev structure:

/dd3
/dd3/WebRoot
/dd3/WebRoot/…other directories

I want to put the contents of the WebRoot directory into the “root” directory of my website.

Here’s my WAR target

    <target name="war" depends="jar"> 
       <war destfile="${name}.war" webxml="${WEB-INF.dir}/web.xml"> 
          <fileset dir="./" 
              includes="${WebRoot.dir}/*.jsp"/> 
          <classes dir="${WEB-INF.dir}/classes" includes="*.class, *.properties, *.xml"/> 
          <lib dir="${lib.dir}" includes="*.jar"/> 
          <webinf dir="${WEB-INF.dir}" includes="*.xml, *.tld" 
              excludes="web.xml"/> 
        </war> 
    </target> 

I’m getting the “*.jsp” files put into a directory “WebRoot” not in the actual root.

In other words I want the file:

/dd3/WebRoot/file.jsp

into:

/file.jsp

in my WAR.

Lee,
Try changing from this:

<fileset dir="./"
            includes="${WebRoot.dir}/*.jsp"/>

to

<fileset dir="${WebRoot.dir}"
            includes="*.jsp"/>

Or something equivalent… the Ant script is most likely being run from your project root, so when you specif “./” as your starting dir for your fileset, you are including the WebRoot dir in to your WAR immediately…
