Re: Maven build failed with missing WEB-INF/geronimo-web.xml

Hi bongosdude,
It looks like the war plugin is not javaee-5 aware. Anything you put in the ear lib directory gets into the ear classloader which is a parent to the war classloader. Thus you don't need the war manifest classpath entries at all in an ee5 container such as geronimo. Your solution should work but is unnecessarily complicated. Since the maven plugin isn't ee-5 aware it may be easier not to stop generating the manifest classpath entries. 


Thanks for pointing this out!  I created a maven jira in case anyone  
there wants to work on this...  http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-178

Hi,


I found the an interesting thing about the problem that I reported  
in this
post thread. Basically, I set up my project as maven and then  
convert the
build EAR into eclipse projects so that I can debug my ejb and war  
app using

GEP (please also see my other post from

http://www.nabble.com/car-maven-plugin-and-GEP-to21095185s134.html  
to see
how this can be done.) I have followed the practice to bundle my WAR  
project

so that it refers all lib dependencies to its EAR lib directory. This
practice is well documented as skinny war (please see

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/examples/skinny-wars.html) 
.

The interesting here is that maven is quite smart to handle transitive

dependency and as a result, mave generates my war META-INF/ 
METAFEST.MF to
refer to some missing jar files in EAR lib directory. Once I  
manually added
these jars file to my ear pom.xml file, I fixed the mysterious  
"JAVAEE 5

Section 8.2" problem.


Thanks for all excellent supports from this forum who has made  
geronimo well

JEE app and product.

Background


I encountered this problem that I do not quite understand. I set  
up my
demo after I looked at the car-maven-plugin, m2eclipse and the  
geronimo
sample calculator. I have manually created my demo project by  
using maven

achetype-create with groupId=org.apache.geronimo.samples and

archytypeId=geronimo-samples-archetypes. And then I tweaked POM  
files
generated by looking at calculator POM files. I had to go through  
this
manual process because my web application is Tapestry5. And I have  
to add
dependencies to POM files. Maven build sub projects successfully  
except
when it tried to build jetty and tomcat CAR plugin. Here are the  
error

messages that I got:

[WARN]  Web application callingcard-war-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.war does not

contain a WEB-INF/geronimo-web.xml deployment plan.  This may or  
may not

be a problem, depending on whether you have things like resource

references that need to be resolved.  You can also give the  
deployer a

separate deployment plan file on the command line.

Questions:

1. It seems that I got my first error is that I did not create
WEB-INF/geronimo-web.xml. I can define the option
-DXorg.apache.geronimo.deployment.LenientMFCP=true to make the build

successful. However, I looked at the calculator, it does not have  
the

WEB-INF/geronimo-web.xml but maven does not fail when it builds

jetty/tomcat car plugin. So why do I have this error? What do I  
miss in

my pom files?

2. Can somesome explain what
DXorg.apache.geronimo.deployment.LenientMFCP=true|false does?

Thank for any helps

-B
