Question

Is there anyway to write a hook to execute an ant script after the tomcat startup is completed. Tried to change the startup.bat to invoke ant script at the end, but the ant gets invoked before the tomcat has completely started.

Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

An easy way without dealing with anything related to Tomcat:

<!-- run tomcat here -->

<!-- wait for the server to be available -->
<waitfor>
    <http url="http://host:port">
</waitfor>

<!-- run other ant scripts from here... -->
