War plugin question
My application uses a war file that is shared by multiple contexts within Tomcat. I'm using the Maven2 War plugin to build the war file. At present the generated class files and the jar files used by the application are put inside the war file's WEB-INF/lib and WEB-INF/classes directories. I would like to be able to decrease the memory footprint by putting these files into Tomcat's shared/lib and shared/classes directories. Does anyone know of a way that this can be done? Thanks, Steve Vangasse

RE: War plugin question
I actually have 2 webapps shared across multiple contexts that share a common library. When this library is built I've made an ant plugin that copies the library jar and all it's dependencies to Tomcat's common/lib directory. So I'm already using the provided scope for some jars used by the webapps that are in Tomcat's common/lib. Each webapp then has it's own dependencies (struts, jsf etc.) built straight into it's WEB-INF/lib directory and it's class files to WEB-INF/classes. This works fine but get's tight on memory when more and more contexts are running due to the webapp class loader. I'm really looking for a way to build any compile scoped jars straight into Tomcat's shared/lib along with the generated class files to shared/classes. Something like a "destination directory" setting in the war plugin would do the trick but I couldn't find one. Any ideas?

Re: War plugin question
Re-design your applications so that common classes are in a jar, and include the jars your want to share in your war with scope provided. Then, use the assembly plugin to deploy the provided jars to shared/lib. We use a similar approach and it works well.

RE: War plugin question
The assembly plugin certainly seems to be the solution. My project is multi module; a module for each webapp and a module for the shared library. I've been trying to write an assembly descriptor in the parent module that copies all the jar files from each webapp module (that would normally get copied into WEB-INF/lib) into a directory (I use warSourceExcludes to stop the jars going to WEB-INF/lib). The examples on the maven site don't seem to cover this kind of situation - has anyone attempted anything like this?

I'm using Tomcat 5.5 which doesn't support EAR files. I think a move to a J2EE application server might be a good idea for the future but in the short term I'm going to use Tomcat.

A maven-war-plugin question
Hi all. How can I add a 'jar' module as a dependency to a 'war' module so: * 'jar' module is included in the WEB-INF/lib * but 'war' module sources should not see 'jar' module classes (e.g. autocompletion feature in an IDE doesn't work)?

A maven-war-plugin question
I'm using maven-war-plugin in my pom. Here is my code
org.apache.maven.plugins
maven-war-plugin
2.1-beta-1
target/${webapp.name}
src/main/resources/META-INF/
META-INF
src/main/resources/META-INF/
My questions is, I need the files under META-INF to show up under
target//META-INF/, which the above code accomplishes. But
since the plugin constructs its own folder structure, it puts those files
under target//WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/ as well. How can I get
the files to be excluded from classes/META-INF/ folder and only make them
show up under target//META-INF?

Re: A maven-war-plugin question
Put the META-INF folder structure in src/main/webapp. Not in
src/main/resources.
You should then be able to remove all your special configuration, which is a
clear sign of being on the right track.

Re: A maven-war-plugin question
I think your real question might be, who is putting this stuff in my
WEB-INF/classes dir?
It is the resources plugin, as commanded by the war-plugin.
therefore, you would add a element to prevent this.
Below is a trivial example.
/r
== src
src/main/resources/META-INF/foo.xml
== target
target/foo-1.0.war
target/foo/META-INF/foo.xml
target/war/work/webapp-cache.xml
== war contents
META-INF/
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
WEB-INF/
META-INF/foo.xml
== pom.xml
4.0.0
com.foo
foo
war
1.0
${project.build.sourceDirectory}
maven-war-plugin
2.1-beta-1
false
target/${webapp.name}
WEB-INF/classes/**
src/main/resources/META-INF/
META-INF
false
foo
