Thanks Joao, that is very interesting. It is the inverse of what I was trying to do. I hadn't thought to do it like that. I'm going to give it a whirl. Thanks for the input! -Mike Joao Nelas wrote: Hi Mike! I have something like that working. I have a "base" project that has all hibernat

Hi Mike! I have something like that working. I have a "base" project that has all hibernate, user management, etc. And other projects that work like plugins. I can drop the jars from one of those projects in the war, and automatically get the functionality. There are 2 important techniques that ma

Just one war file. They are stand alone projects in the sense that there are two maven projectsI started down this path after reading: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/examples/war-overlay.html I just realized that there is no corresponding feature for JARs. So my Project B c

I am not quite clear - if that's the case, then project A and project B aren't standalone projects. In other words, how many WAR files will you be deploying to Tomcat (or your container)? Cheers, Alex On 17 Dec 2007, at 19:18, Mike Wille wrote: I just realized that I have left something ou

I just realized that I have left something out. My end goal was to generate one combined web app from project A and B using the jar/war overlay feature. Does that change anything? Thanks! -Mike Alexander Coles wrote: I think so. I am offering this as a purely suggestion - the system I am c

Yes, project A is also a stand alone project. It has both Core and Web modules. Thanks for the links. I will take a look. At first glance, it seems that this creates an EAR file and would then require something more then Jetty or Tomcat. Thanks! -Mike Alexander Coles wrote: Is Project A

Is Project A also a stand alone project, or does it just provide infrastructure support? If I am understanding your requirement rightly, you could create a shared parent application context: http://blog.interface21.com/main/2007/06/11/using-a-shared-parent-application-context-in-a-multi-war-

2007-12-17 Thread Mike Wille
Hi All, I'm looking for advice on setting up multiple projects. I've been using the Spring MVC Modular archetype with appfuse and it works great. Now I was thinking about trying it out on a larger scale. I'm setting up a second project (multi module) that depends on the first. Everything
