Hi,
I have been scratching my head on this one for awhile.
We have an applet which the class files are packaged up into a JAR file.
This JAR file is then packaged up inside a WAR file which then gets
packaged in an EAR file so that it can be deployed onto Websphere
Application Server 6.1 (our web app server).
Now in order for the JAR file to be seen on the clients end (not on the
web server we are deploying the war file to), the JAR file must not live
inside the "WEB-INF\lib" directory. The JAR file must sit inside the root
directory of the WAR. This allows the user to access the JAR file and
download it to their PC
instead of the JAR file being processed server sidedly so that they can
access the JAR that has the applet and run the applet client sidedly.
It appears that something did exist for maven 1.0 in the WAR building
goal, but it was removed in maven 2.0. So now in order to manually put
this file, i have to do some ugly ant script in the artifact which builds
the WAR file, like this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>move-jars</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<echo message="***Unzipping
war***" />
<unzip
src="${project.build.directory}/${artifactId}-${version}.war"
dest="${basedir}/tmp">
<patternset>
<include name="**"
/>
</patternset>
</unzip>
<echo message="***war unzipped***"
/>
<move
todir="${basedir}/tmp">
<fileset
dir="${basedir}/tmp/WEB-INF/lib">
<include
name="**/*.jar" />
</fileset>
</move>
<echo message="***Deleting
old war***" />
<delete
file="${project.build.directory}/${artifactId}-${version}.war" />
<delete
includeEmptyDirs="true">
<fileset
dir="${project.build.directory}/${artifactId}-${version}" />
</delete>
<echo message="***Creating
new war***" />
<zip
destfile="${project.build.directory}/${artifactId}-${version}.war"
basedir="${basedir}/tmp" update="true" />
<echo
message="***Unzipping new war***" />
<unzip
src="${project.build.directory}/${artifactId}-${version}.war"
dest="${project.build.directory}/${artifactId}-${version}">
<patternset>
<include
name="**" />
</patternset>
</unzip>
<echo message="***Deleting
tmp dir***" />
<delete
includeEmptyDirs="true">
<fileset
dir="${basedir}/tmp" />
</delete>
</tasks>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Does anyone know a more better solution to achieving this?
