Then you misunderstood my proposal. My proposal is to keep your ear project
like it is (no token filtering) and then reuse the EAR to do the filtering
according to your environment. You could do this through Maven or with a
simple ant script that you ship with your distribution.

What's missing is a plugin that performs the filtering on an existing file
(no copy just overwrite) and that takes arbitrary resource set. I have
actually implemented a custom plugin that does that but maybe it exists
somewhere now.

Thanks for your answers. Is it possible to filter the contents of an EAR? I
thought you could only do that by previously unpacking the resources in a
tmp directory.

Re: how can I filter the resources of one of the dependencies before building an EAR?

2009-06-24 Thread Stephane Nicoll
It would much more powerful to perform that transformation when you actually
deploy the artifacts on the server instead of burning the value in something
you could potentially deploy on the repository

I would leave the token in the file and add a filtering procedure when the
app is built and deployed. You lost the ability to copy an ear right the way
but you could have that with a separate project that relies on your ear and
perform the transformation for you.

Re: how can I filter the resources of one of the dependencies before building an EAR?

Hi, I've been dealing with much the same requirement.  

I think you'll want to use the assembly plugin in order to "pack them
again," and you'll want the resulting EJB artifact to be a dependency for
the project that builds the EAR.  

Just an observation: intuitively this approach strikes me as antithetical to
some core Maven values and even basic "good practices" like factoring out
commonality, etc.  I limit its application to a very narrow use case. 
Specifically, I only use this approach for the situation where I require the
ability to deploy, into a single appserver, multiple instances of the same
application that are guaranteed to be identical except as regards their
configuration as obtained from the various deployment descriptors (e.g.,
context roots, data source bindings, etc.).  To the extent possible (and
practicable) I obviate this problem by refactoring.

how can I filter the resources of one of the dependencies before building an EAR?

2009-06-23 Thread Sergio Rodriguez

Hello,

I have an EJB project that is a dependency of several of my projects. I need
to modify the JNDI name at the EJB's jboss.xml so I can deploy several apps
on the same jboss server.

How can I filter the resources of an already-compiled dependency? I have
tried to unpack-dependencies and filter them, but don't know how to pack
them again into a new EJB for my EAR.

Any suggestions?
