Tomcat 's Ant Tasks [Install]

Is it possible to use the <install> ant task to deploy to a remote server? I
would think so, but it
seems that the Manager app of Tomcat tries to load the "context" file on the
remote server...

<install url="${tomcat.manager.url}"
username="${tomcat.username}"
password="${tomcat.password}"
config="file:${webapp.dist}/${webapp.name}.xml"
war="jar:file:${webapp.dist}/${webapp.war}!/"/>

Is there anyway to do this, i.e. packaging the context.xml in the JAR and
telling the manager app
to get it from there - or can I only deploy to localhost when I have a context
.xml involved?

On another note, is it possible to put all the ant task definitions in a file
that can be referenced
when - so all tasks can be declared at once. Cactus does this and it's a handy
feature. I've
added it to my project by doing the following.

1. Created a tomcatTasks.properties file with the following contents:

deploy=org.apache.catalina.ant.DeployTask
install=org.apache.catalina.ant.InstallTask
list=org.apache.catalina.ant.ListTask
reload=org.apache.catalina.ant.ReloadTask
remove=org.apache.catalina.ant.RemoveTask
resources=org.apache.catalina.ant.ResourcesTask
roles=org.apache.catalina.ant.RolesTask
start=org.apache.catalina.ant.StartTask
stop=org.apache.catalina.ant.StopTask
undeploy=org.apache.catalina.ant.UndeployTask

2. Define my tasks using:

<taskdef file="${ant-contrib.dir}/tomcatTasks.properties">
<classpath>
<pathelement path="${tomcat.home}/server/lib/catalina-ant.jar"/>
</classpath>
</taskdef>

This certainly cuts down on the size of my build.xml file by about 20 lines!

Thanks,

Matt
