Hi. I am trying to use the Tomcat Maven Plugin to create an executable jar file with an embedded Tomcat7, but I am having two issues when trying to do so.
The first one, is that I am not getting how I can stop my executable jar. I want to run it in from a script (like the shutdown.sh/bat from tomcat). I was not able to find any documentation about that particular issue. The second issue, is that when I run my executable jar it loads my webapp context twice (it tries because it will not be able to do it as I use a derby db, and it will give an error when trying to have the lock again). It creates a folder .extract, and the webapp works fine, but I do not want my context to be loaded twice. I am using the configurations I have found here http://tomcat.apache.org/maven-plugin-2/executable-war-jar.html . What am I missing here? Info about the project: - Maven project; - pom.xml with packaging war using the build found here http://tomcat.apache.org/maven-plugin-2/executable-war-jar.html ; - Running in Ubuntu 11.04; - Using: <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId> <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.0-beta-1</version> Thanks in advance.
