----------------------------------
Resolution: Duplicate
Fix Version/s: (was: 3.0-alpha-8)
Assignee: Benjamin Bentmann
> Path normalization during inheritance prohibits usage of properties
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-3315
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3315
> Project: Maven 2 & 3
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Inheritance and Interpolation
> Affects Versions: 2.0.8
> Reporter: Benjamin Bentmann
> Assignee: Benjamin Bentmann
> Attachments: project.zip
>
>
> Assume a multi-module scenario with the following (non-standard) directory
> layout:
> project/
> project-parent/
> project-module-1/
> project-module-2/
> That is, the parent POM is placed in a sibling directory rather than the
> parent directory of the module projects such that the "module path
> adjustment" is "../" when inheriting paths/URLs from the project-parent.
> Now, consider the following POM snippet for the site distribution (or any
> other element where Maven adjusts paths for sub modules):
> {code:xml}
> <site>
> <id>website</id>
> <url>dav:http://www.company.org/project</url>
> </site>
> {code}
> All fine so far, but this slightly modified snippet does not work any more:
> {code:xml}
> <properties>
> <site.url>dav:http://www.company.org/project</site.url>
> </properties>
> ...
> <site>
> <id>website</id>
> <url>${site.url}</url>
> </site>
> {code}
> Just replacing the string by a property produces a bad URL for any sub
> project. This problems originates from
> DefaultModelInheritanceAssembler.resolvePath() that "normalizes" a string
> like "${site.url}/../project-module-1" to "project-module-1".
> While the usage of the property is not mandatory, I nevertheless think the
> moral from this subtle issue should be not to do any path normalization
> until all properties have been interpolated, i.e.:
> - inheritance ( URL = "${site.url}/../project-module-1" )
> - interpolation ( URL =
> "dav:http://www.company.org/project/../project-module-1"; )
> - path/URL normalization ( URL =
> "dav:http://www.company.org/project-module-1"; )
> Otherwise, Maven calls another weird pitfall its own.
