I'll chime in here :) We create the artifact that we want, but we have
two. The WAR created by the maven war plugin, and the overlay war that
is standalone.
We were hoping to only deploy the tomcat overlay war since it does
everything that the other war does, plus contain tomcat. By doing this,
we hope to avoid confusion from staff that may grab the wrong war file
from our artifact repository (Nexus) and accidentally provide it to
customers. So we're trying to be proactively safe.
Additionally, we have a Selenium grid set up. When our Jenkins build
system makes a build, cargo to grabs the war and failsafe runs our
selenium integration tests. All tests must pass before any artifact is
deployed to Nexus. So in a sense, it feels like cheating to have the
tests all pass on the non-standalone artifact, but we ship the
standalone one. I've thought about using maven tomcat plugin as a means
to possibly shore this up, but there is still a part of me that likes
the aspect of being able to deploy to any type of container via cargo.
I haven't had a chance to dig into this yet, perhaps Rich has, but any
expert advice is always much appreciated.

Hi,
We're using tomcat7-maven-plugin 2.1 to build an executable war using the
standalone-war-only goal. The maven build still generates the normal war
file as well as the executable .war created by the plugin. However, since
the standalone-war-only goal generates a war that is both executable and
deployable, we really don't need to generate the normal war file.
Is there a good way of generating just the executable war's using the
plugin? We could probably have maven delete the original .war file and
rename the executable .war to the normal webapp name, but that doesn't seem
like the best way of doing it.
Currently no. As the generated executable war/jar contains this war
(not an exploded war) so it's mandatory to have it.
BTW what is your use case ?
Thanks,
Richard
