I have a Maven project organized like this:
parentProj
supportingJar
first-web-app-war
second-web-app-war
second-web-app-packaged-as-ear
third-web-app
The 3 web applications are all deployed on different application servers and
machines (2 Tomcat as war, 1 WebSphere as ear).
What has me confused is how to use "The Maven Way" to create appropriate
artifacts for these many different environments. I could use profiles, but
there is no good way to build for a prod environment when production means 10
different servers spead out over 3 distinct applications.
My first thought is that I should break out the web applications into their own
projects and have the "supportingJar" be available in the local repository when
it changes. That way, I could have a specific profile for as many different
environments as I needed (one for each destination server) and could still
filter the files in src/main/resources appropriately.
My other thought is that I should simply use the assembly plugin to create a
compressed file of all the configurations and then have the application server
use the appropriate subset of those configuration files by adding it to the
class path at runtime. This is desirable because I would only need to generate
a configuration-less war or ear that could be deployed across many servers.
Any suggestions are very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Kory
