The following comment has been added to this issue: Author: Tim Chen Created: Thu, 15 Jan 2004 6:54 AM Body: Thanks Michal. But that's exactly what I was talking about. But that kind of work around in my mind isn't suffering from performance but rather from the concept of what war plugin should do. A valid war can have multiple files directly under WEB-INF. I know that this is supported in the sense that webapps/WEB-INF files can be incorporated but for autogenerated files this is not where they usually reside. I'm sure it's more of a question of preference and I don't want it to become a religious debate but it would be nice to have this functionality (hence the improvement type ;) --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 6:54 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.
