Thanks Matteo.

I have couple of questions.

1) if i need to deploy the same war from my laptop to the remote
multiple Tomcat server.
2)Please explain me with an example about the value parameter in build.xml

>  <property name="build" value="${basedir}/XXX"/>
>  <property name="webapp" value="XXX"/>
>  <property name="path" value="/"/>

Please suggest.

Thanks and Regards,
