Setup ant file ..... more

Here I write something about build script file......

I used one build.propeties and build.xml file. Both file are in same directory in project folder.

My ant file expect above project structure(that is shown above):

setting information about tomcat server on build.properties:

tomcat.home=/usr/local/tomcat6

deploy.path=${tomcat.home}/webapps

appContext={your project name}

On build.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<project name="birth-certificate" default="deploy" basedir=".">

<description>
