Hi guys, I am trying to implement a plexus converter to implement MEAR-8. I need to be able to retrieve a piece of XML from the pom, validate it and inject it in the auto-generated application.xml.
Sample pom: <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <resourcesDir>${basedir}/META-INF</resourcesDir> <security> <security-role id="SecurityRole_1131964323008"> <description></description> <role-name>manager</role-name> </security-role> <security-role id="SecurityRole_1131964323018"> <description></description> <role-name>teller</role-name> </security-role> </security> </configuration> </plugin> I have create an EarSecurity POJO with a list of SecurityRole POJOs. This field is defined as a security parameter in the GenerateApplicationXmlMojo /** * The security-roles to be added to the auto-generated * application.xml file. * * @parameter */ private EarSecurity security; I am now trying to register my converter so I put the following in src/main/resources/META-INF/plexus/components.xml: <plexus> <components> <component> <role> org.codehaus.plexus.component.configurator.converters.basic.AbstractBasicConverter </role> <role-hint>EarSecurity</role-hint> <implementation> org.apache.maven.plugin.ear.security.EarSecurityConverter</implementation> </component> </components> </plexus> However, If I try to use my security param locally, it still uses the default converter Caused by: org.codehaus.plexus.component.configurator.ComponentConfigurationException: Cannot find setter nor field in org.apache.maven.plugin.ear.security.EarSecurity for 'securityRole' at org.codehaus.plexus.component.configurator.converters.ComponentValueSetter .<init>(ComponentValueSetter.java:68) at org.codehaus.plexus.component.configurator.converters.composite.ObjectWithFieldsConverter.processConfiguration (ObjectWithFieldsConverter.java:134) at org.codehaus.plexus.component.configurator.converters.composite.ObjectWithFieldsConverter.fromConfiguration (ObjectWithFieldsConverter.java:90) at org.codehaus.plexus.component.configurator.converters.ComponentValueSetter.configure (ComponentValueSetter.java:247) at org.codehaus.plexus.component.configurator.converters.composite.ObjectWithFieldsConverter.processConfiguration (ObjectWithFieldsConverter.java:137) at org.codehaus.plexus.component.configurator.BasicComponentConfigurator.configureComponent (BasicComponentConfigurator.java:56) at org.apache.maven.plugin.DefaultPluginManager.populatePluginFields (DefaultPluginManager.java:1030) Can anyone help me?
