Tomcat: automatic deploy and test
dall...@gmail.com
start Tomcat, deploy a WAR file, run my JMeter tests, shutdown Tomcat
and then, of course, update my JChav results.
I hope this Ant script can be of help to someone. There's a bunch of
properties in the init target you'll need to change, and the run-tests
target has a couple of sleep calls in there that you'll want to
twiddle.
Cheers
Richard

The start-tomcat target alone doesn't return, so we run it in parallel
with the tests we want. Note the sleep calls to allow Tomcat to do
start up etc. You will want to tweek the values dependng on your
application and hardware etc.
Note: if you find this target hanging, it may be because there's an
error in the script. Hit CTRL-C to terminate the target and at that
point you'll see the error output.
