I am trying to run an existing application using cargo ant.

The example given on the page http://cargo.codehaus.org/Ant+support

deletes the resulting exploded war, then creates a tomcat installation in the target dir. Therefore I am unable to see the application.

<property name="tomcat.home" value="/opt/tomcat"/>
    <property name="tomcatlog.dir" value="target"/>
    <property name="tomcatconfig.dir" value="target/tomcat"/>
    <property name="mywarfile" value="target/webapps/myWebapp"/>
   
    <taskdef resource="cargo.tasks">
    <classpath>
        <fileset dir="cargo">
        <include name="**/*.jar"/>
        </fileset>
    </classpath>
    </taskdef>
   
    <target name="cargostart" depends="war">
    <delete dir="${tomcatconfig.dir}" />
    <mkdir dir="${tomcatlog.dir}"/>
    <mkdir dir="${tomcatconfig.dir}"/>
    <echo message="Starting Cargo..."/>
    <echo message="Using tomcat.home = ${tomcat.home} "/>
    <echo message="Using war = ${mywarfile} "/>
    <!-- <echo message="Jars used = ${cargo-uberjar} , ${cargo-antjar}"/> -->
   
    <cargo containerId="tomcat7x" home="${tomcat.home}" output="${tomcatlog.dir}/output.log"
           log="${tomcatlog.dir}/cargo.log" action="run">
        <configuration home="${tomcatconfig.dir}">
        <property name="cargo.servlet.port" value="8080"/>
        <property name="cargo.logging" value="low"/>
        <deployable type="war" file="${mywarfile}"/>
        </configuration>
    </cargo>

    </target>


Should I generate the war after I start tomcat, or there's something I am missing ?
