Hi Vincent, After my post earlier I started to look into the docs a bit more along side you example. I was able to get a tomcat instance running through Cargo and I have to say that I am pulled more towards this plugin again. I am glad the feedback was helpful.
In my earlier email I said that I could be pulled back towards the tomcat plugin. There is a question that I have and I think it is because there are not small docs/examples on how to do this/these things. I have put a location element within the configuration and I can then use 'mvn compile war:exploded' but I have found that I need to use the reload link within the deployed manager application. Is there a configuration element to allow the monitoring of my web application? (I have just archetyped a simple example and so I have not got a context file within the META-INF directory). Using my last question as an example I think I go back to the individual plugins because they have less questions. I felt that the tomcat plugin was as close to the server and so created more certainty within my development environment. Now having played with the tomcat configuration for Cargo I think this plugin has more certainty. The speed was great for starting the server and I feel that there is a more complete environment to work within. I think personally I saw the benefit of Cargo earlier and must have played with a version that was to early/had issues. Now my experience with how I want to use maven has grown I can now play around with Cargo again. Trent On 04/12/06, Vincent Massol <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Matt, From: Matt Raible [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: lundi 4 décembre 2006 15:36 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [mojo-user] Cargo and Tomcat plugin (was RE: [mojo-user] New snapshot of tomcat-maven-plugin deployed) I like the Tomcat Plugin because it's much less configuration than Cargo. This is what I want to figure out. Would you have an example configuration and a use case using the Tomcat plugin so that I can compare its configuration with Cargo's? I continue to use Cargo for testing, but AFAIK, it doesn't do the embedded bit like the Tomcat Plugin does. Cargo does support it… it's just not documented yet on the web site. See my previous email to Trent on this list. Also, for Jetty, the Maven Jetty Plugin works great, whereas Cargo has the Log4j issue. Yes, we need to fix that. I need to check how the Jetty plugin has done it. This is another example where it would have been great if we were all working on the same version of the code instead of duplicating it… One idea: IF we cannot find an easy configuration with cargo for a given container, we could have container-specific plugins but using the Cargo Java API. That would solve both the code duplication and the simple configuration!

I always try to direct users onto using cargo, but these updates are for existing users who can't switch over so easily. I agree with the duplication of code between the various container plugins and cargo, and this is also starting to happen with database containers with the hsqldb plugin. Although I do think that the site can seem intimidating to new users who just want to deploy a webapp to tomcat. I'd also be interested in other peoples reasons too.
