help needed on rpm packaging



Hi All,   
 
    I am new to RPM package building.I have written a spec file for packaging my software.The software is a servlets based webserver.In the %install tag I place the installation script of my servlet programs.And then change some details in the apache and tomcat configuration files since it is needed by my servlets.
    When I build the package with the  rpm -ba mypfg.spec command the instructions under the %install tag executes and the rpm file is generated.But when I use the generated rpm file to install it using the rpm -ivh mypkg.rpm then the %install portion is not executed.
    Is this how rpm works or am I missing out anything.Please do explain me how the %install part works during building(rpm -ba specfile) and installing(rpm -ivh genrpmfile).
