Tomcat 6.0 has these binary distributions:
-the core file
-a deployer file

This deployer file is needed for ANT which is used to compile the java source file.

After installing Java (jdk 1.6) under c:\Program Files\Java, I then
-unzipped apache ant to c:\apache-ant-1.7.1
-unzipped tomcat to c:\apache-tomcat-6.0.18
-unzipped the tomcat deployer to c:\apache-tomcat-6.0.18-deployer

According to the 6.0.18 Deployer Manual
Deploying using the Client Deployer Package

In order for the deployment to be configured, create a file called deployer.properties
in the TCD Installation directory root.

The manual states that the deployer.properties file should have name-value pairs for:
- build
- webapp
- path
- url
- username
- password

The manual does not provide an example of deployer.properties so could someone please provide an example for this file (from the first to last lines).

Also, which of the above paths would be considered the TCD Installation directory root?

Thanks,

Robin
