Hi guys, I pushed a few changes in our bundle goal today, I thought this is the kind of ones a mail can be worth:
1. We now have an option which will generate a catalina.sh, startup.sh and shutdown.sh in bin/. In terms of implementation it just delegates to meecrowave.sh but the interesting point of this feature is to mimic even more a tomcat which can be helpful when deploying an instance in the cloud. 2. Surprisingly we were not supporting a docBase in bundle mojo, this is now fixed (and default to src/main/webapp). Note that this can have a side effect: if you were using src/main/webapp to dev (:run) and not bundle then you will get more resources in the deliverable. I don't think it is a big deal since I see it more as being a bug to not bundle it but if you think it is more blocking we can use another folder by default. 3. We were forcing log4j-jul log manager for JUL on the JVM in the script. Since we can since a few releases exclude log4j completely I ensured to check log4j-jul was in lib/ before setting this value, if not we default on tomcat classloader log manager (guess we can be more fancy and default on the JVM one in case of a plain deployClasspath but the gain wouldn't be that huge). One example of the usages of 2 and 3 is a small demo app I pushed on my github: https://github.com/rmannibucau/meepress. It runs a wordpress in meecrowave but without cxf/johnzon/log4j (just tomcat and openwebbeans). 1 will be used to deploy it on a cloud provider which supports tomcat/tomee but not (yet?) meecrowave so the instance will have the exact same shape :). Hope it makes sense and the example speaks better than me by itself ;) Romain Manni-Bucau @rmannibucau <https://twitter.com/rmannibucau> | Blog <https://rmannibucau.metawerx.net/> | Old Blog <http://rmannibucau.wordpress.com> | Github <https://github.com/rmannibucau> | LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/in/rmannibucau> | Book <https://www.packtpub.com/application-development/java-ee-8-high-performance>
