You might want to try using cargo instead. It should allow you to deploy
the WAR project into a container and start up that container.
Something like:
configuration
waittrue/wait
container
containerIdjetty6x/containerId
/container
configuration
deployables
deployable
groupIdGROUP_ID/groupId
artifactIdARTIFACT_ID/artifactId
versionVERSION/version
typewar/type
/deployable
/deployables
/configuration
...
/configuration

Subject: Starting a jetty server for client side tests
I have a WAR project that exposes some web services I also have a JAR
project that acts as a client application for the web services. The
client application makes http requests to the web services.
To run unit tests I need to set up a jetty server running the web
services.
I have tried the following
1) use the maven-dependency-plugin to extract the correct WAR from the
repository and copy it to sub directory in target.
2) use the maven-jetty-plugin to start a server running the WAR
downloaded in the previous step. The server can be started before
running the unit tests and stopped when the tests have finished.
The jetty plugin is as follows
plugin
groupIdorg.mortbay.jetty/groupId
artifactIdmaven-jetty-plugin/artifactId
configuration
stopPort9966/stopPort
webApp
${basedir}/target/iceCreamWar/ICECream.war
/webApp
stopKeystop/stopKey
/configuration
executions
execution
idstart-jetty/id
phaseprocess-test-classes/phase
goals
goalrun/goal
/goals
/execution
execution
idstop-jetty/id
phaseprepare-package/phase
goals
goalstop/goal
/goals
/execution
/executions
/plugin
However if I run it I get the following error message
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO]
[INFO] Webapp source directory
C:\Workspace_MavenBuild\ICECreamClient\src\main\webapp does not exist
which is expected as the rungoal assumes you have a normal web project
with a context.
If I change the goal to run-war, then the jetty server does start for
the unit test, but only afterwoods. - the jetty documentation talks
about Invokes the execution of the lifecycle phase package prior to
executing itself. which I presume is what is happening.
Any ideas how to get around this one?
