Mark Hobson commented on MNG-785: --------------------------------- Thanks for this, I'll try to incorporate this into the next version. BTW, probably worth raising future issues against the sandbox component in the MOJO project. > m2 tomcat plugin > ---------------- > > Key: MNG-785 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-785 > Project: Maven 2 > Type: New Feature > Components: maven-plugins > Versions: 2.0-beta-1 > Reporter: Mark Hobson > Assignee: Brett Porter > Attachments: maven-tomcat-plugin.tar.gz, maven-tomcat-plugin.zip > > > See attached for an initial stab at a m2 Tomcat plugin. The plugin provides > the following goals: > tomcat:deploy > tomcat:undeploy > tomcat:reload > tomcat:start > tomcat:stop > It's geared towards Tomcat 5.5 in which the install/remove commands are > depreciated in preference of deploy/undeploy. It shouldn't be much work to > add these for Tomcat 5.0 users if necessary. > I tried to keep the config to a minimum since the vast number of deployment > options that Tomcat provides tends to complicate plugins. The core config > params for all tasks are: > url - the Tomcat manager URL (default = "http://localhost:8080/manager";) > username - the Tomcat manager username (default = "admin") > password - the Tomcat manager password (default = "") > charset - the Tomcat manager request URL encoding charset (default = > "ISO-8859-1") > path - the web context path (default = "/${project.build.finalName}") > The tomcat:deploy goal requires further parameters to customise the type of > deployment. After considering the various deployment methods supported by > manager, I decided that the project-centric ones applicable to a m2 plugin > come down to three modes of operation: > remote > - the war is deployed via a HTTP PUT to manager > - war plugin mode must be "normal" (i.e. not exploded) > - suitable for cross-network > local > - the war is deployed by supplying a path to the war file/dir > - the war plugin mode config param determines whether the war is deployed as > a file or as a dir > - suitable for localhost tomcat > inplace > - the war is deployed via a context.xml file that refers to the war dir > - the war plugin mode must be exploded > - suitable for dev > The other Tomcat deployment methods didn't seem too useful for > project-orientation deployment - they are summarised here: > http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/manager-howto.html#Deploy%20A%20New%20Application%20from%20a%20Local%20Path > So the tomcat:deploy specific config params are: > mode - "remote", "local" or "inplace" (default = "remote") > war - the war file path (default = > "${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}.war") > warDir - the war dir path (default = > "${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}") > config - the context.xml path (default = > "${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}/META-INF/context.xml") > update - whether to undeploy before deploying (default = false) > When deploying inplace the context.xml Context/@docBase attribute needs to be > set to the war dir. I noticed the discussion on the m2 mailing list > regarding resource filtering, so hopefully that can perform this task pre-war. > The code is inspired by the Tomcat Ant tasks, but rewritten for m2. This is > my first m2 plugin so any constructive comments are welcome! In particular, > feedback on the following would be appreciated: > - opinions on the remote/local/inplace mode of operations > - any config options I've missed > - is the method of introspecting the war plugin config the norm, or is there > a nicer way? > You're welcome to the code & I'm happy to adopt this plugin time-permitting. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
