I haven't bothered to test this, so I may have gotten a detail wrong, but
here are some small additions to your ivy.xml file to filter out the servlet
API JAR:
<ivy-module version="2.0">
<info organisation="domain.organisation" module="webproject" />
<configurations>
<conf name="runtime" description="everything except the servlet API" />
<conf name="compile" extends="runtime" description="Plus the servlet
API" />
</configurations>
<publications>
<artifact name="yourapp" type="war" conf="runtime" />
<artifact name="yourapp" type="ear" conf="runtime" />
</publications>
<dependencies>
<dependency org="org.apache.wicket" name="wicket" rev="1.3.5"
conf="runtime->*">
<exclude org="org.apache.portals.bridges"
module="portals-bridges-common" />
<exclude org="javax.portlet" module="portlet-api" />
</dependency>
<dependency org="org.slf4j" name="slf4j-log4j12" rev="1.5.6"
conf="runtime->*" />
<dependency org="javax.servlet" name="servlet-api" rev="2.3"
conf="compile->*" />
</dependencies>
</ivy-module>
You'll notice that I introduced a couple configurations. One is runtime. The
other is compile, which extends runtime. Then for each dependency, I apply a
configuration. Each configuration is picking up all configurations provided
by the dependency module; that's the ->*.
I notice you don't have a publications section, so I added the makings of
one. Also, that filtering out of Wicket dependencies is something I would
put in the original ivy.xml for org.apache.wicket/wicket/1.3.5, rather than
directly in here. You can control that by specifying a configuration in that
file and then making the dependency conf here extend that configuration.
Hope that makes sense.
