Hi,

I was able to use the TCD, launching ANT with the following command 
(e.g. to deploy a webapp):

ant -lib <library-folder> deploy

where <library-folder> contains

catalina-ant.jar  catalina-deployer.jar  commons-el.jar  
commons-logging-1.1.1.jar  jasper-compiler.jar  jasper-runtime.jar  
jsp-api.jar  servlet-api.jar
tools.jar

and "deploy" is a target inside the build.xml (I think this is the default):

<target name="deploy" description="Deploy web application">
    <deploy url="${url}" username="${username}" password="${password}"
            path="${path}" war="${webapp.path}.war" update="true" />
  </target>

Please remember to fill the following properties in the build.xml file:

  <property name="build" value="${basedir}/XXX"/>
  <property name="webapp" value="XXX"/>
  <property name="path" value="/"/>
  <property name="url" value="http://XXX:port/manager"/>
  <property name="username" value="XXX"/>
  <property name="password" value="XXX"/>


Hope this can help,

Matteo
