The following comment has been added to this issue: Author: Michal Maczka Created: Thu, 15 Jan 2004 2:25 AM Body: War plugin works in stages:
1. war:webapp goal is coping the files into ${maven.war.webapp.dir} 2. war:war makes a jar from this directory. If you need to add some more files to your webapp fir (e.g. those generated dynamically) just ad in your maven.xml <postGoal name="war:webapp"> and generate/copy them to ${maven.war.webapp.dir} This way of processing is maybe not optimal from the point of view of performance but gives a full flexibility and IMHO it is fast enough. ant:copy task takes into consideration the date of the last modification of the file and only modified files are copied from ${maven.war.src.dir} to ${maven.war.webapp.dir} Michal --------------------------------------------------------------------- View the issue: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/ViewIssue.jspa?key=MPWAR-16 Here is an overview of the issue: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: MPWAR-16 Summary: war plugin cannot add other files to web-inf without workaround Type: Improvement Status: Open Priority: Major Original Estimate: 30 minutes Time Spent: Unknown Remaining: 30 minutes Project: maven-war-plugin Assignee: Jason van Zyl Reporter: Tim Chen Created: Wed, 14 Jan 2004 4:33 PM Updated: Thu, 15 Jan 2004 2:25 AM Environment: maven 1.0 rc-1 war plugin 1.4 and 1.5 SNAPSHOT Description: Consider a struts war which might have: WEB-INF/ web.xml struts-config.xml The current war plugin does not allow you to copy struts-config.xml into WEB-INF without a maven.xml postgoal hack. A possible patch would be to add the following to war:webapp <ant:copy todir="${webapp.build.webinf}"> <ant:fileset dir="${maven.war.webxml.src}" includes="${maven.war.webxml.src.includes}" excludes="${maven.war.webxml.src.excludes}"/> </ant:copy> an example project.properties using this would be: maven.xdoc.date=left maven.xdoc.version=${pom.currentVersion} maven.multiproject.type=war maven.xdoclet.webdoclet.destDir=${maven.build.dir}/xdoclet/webdoclet/WEB-INF maven.xdoclet.webdoclet.mergeDir=${maven.src.dir}/merge maven.xdoclet.webdoclet.fileset.0.include=**/*.java maven.xdoclet.webdoclet.strutsconfigxml.0=true maven.xdoclet.webdoclet.strutsconfigxml.0.Version=1.1 maven.xdoclet.webdoclet.strutsconfigxml.0.mergeDir=${maven.src.dir}/merge maven.xdoclet.webdoclet.jsptaglib.0=false maven.war.src=${maven.xdoclet.webdoclet.dir} maven.war.webxml=${maven.xdoclet.webdoclet.destDir}/web.xml maven.war.webxml.src=${maven.xdoclet.webdoclet.destDir} maven.war.webxml.src.includes=struts*.xml The proposed patch could be enhanced by ignoring web.xml if it is in the same directory etc. --------------------------------------------------------------------- JIRA INFORMATION: This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
