EAR:generate-application-xml : Ability to deactivate <context-root> generation
to be compliant with portlet deployment
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MEAR-29
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEAR-29
Project: Maven 2.x Ear Plugin
Type: Improvement
Versions: 2.1
Environment: OS: WIN2K (likely any platform)
Application Server: JBOSS 4.0.3 (likely not relevant)
Reporter: Thierry Barnier
I embed a WAR portlet module inside an EAR module
I configure the EAR module as follows
<plugin>
<groupId> org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1</version>
<configuration>
<displayName>Portlet</displayName>
<description>JBOSS portlet</description>
<modules>
<webModule>
<groupId>myApp</groupId>
<artifactId>JBPortlet1-war</artifactId>
<!--<contextRoot>/portlet</contextRoot> <<<< My
problem goes here -->
</webModule>
</modules>
</configuration>
</plugin>
The maven-EAR-module generates an application.xml of the following form:
<application>
<display-name>Thierry Portlet</display-name>
<description>JBOSS portlet</description>
<module>
<web>
<web-uri> JBPortlet1-war-1.0.war</web-uri>
<context-root>/portlet</context-root> <<< I would like to
remove automatically this line
</web>
</module>
</application>
The problem is:
In case of a portlet deployment, the <context-root> element must be omitted, or
the application server reject the EAR package.
There is no way today to disable <context-root> generation in application.xml
If i comment / remove the <contextroot> line in the POM file , it takes the WAR
filename as context-root in the application.xml
I would like to remove automatically the <context-root> line.
what could be the strategy?
=>a <noContextRoot> tag added to the ear plugin config
<webModule>
<groupId>tutorials</groupId>
<artifactId>JBPortlet1-war</artifactId>
<noContextRoot/>
</webModule>
=>a way to specify that application-xml has to be generated regarding portlet
constraints? (<isPortlet> property)
<webModule>
<groupId>tutorials</groupId>
<artifactId>JBPortlet1-war</artifactId>
<isPortlet>true</isPortlet>
</webModule>
