Hi,
We have been developing and running cocoon applications using 'mvn
jetty:run'. We would like to stop that and run the project directly
under eclipse.
In normal circumstances all you do is create a jetty-server dependency
and run a simple class:
public class Loader {
public static void main( String[] args ) throws Exception {
ToStringBuilder.setDefaultStyle(
ToStringStyle.SHORT_PREFIX_STYLE );
System.setProperty( "org.apache.cocoon.mode",
"dev" );
Server server = new Server();
SocketConnector socketConnector = new SocketConnector();
socketConnector.setPort( 80 );
server.setConnectors( new Connector[]{ socketConnector } );
WebAppContext context = new WebAppContext( "src/main/webapp",
"/" );
context.setClassLoader(
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader() );
server.setHandler( context );
server.setStopAtShutdown( true );
server.start();
server.join();
}
}
This web application uses two blocks. It seems that application starts
correctly under eclipse under one very painful condition: the blocks
have to be jars that cocoon block deployer will unpack.
The thing is: if you have: block1, block2, webapp as eclipse projects
(maven enabled of course) there are two scenarios that dependencies are
built:
a) block1, block2: closed projects
the projects need to be prebuilt and available in maven repository
webapp uses block1.jar and block2.jar dependency
cocoon application starts just fine.
b) block1, block2: opened eclipse projects
webapp uses block1, block2 exported classpaths directly. No
dependency on jar. Cocoon block deployer is unable to properly
initialize the application:
I assume the problem comes from the fact that cocoon block deployer
unpacks jar dependencies looking for COB-INF folders.
Is there any way I can point cocoon block deployer to COB-INF folder
directly on filesystem and run eclipse with all project open all the time?
