Jared Hodge commented on MTOMCAT-263: ------------------------------------- It looks to me like running java -jar target/bla-war-exec.jar creates a .extract/ folder in the CURRENT directory. This is bad behavior to start with (it should be in the directory of the jar or some specified location). This doesn't fail much of the time because once the directory is created outside of target/ it probably isn't going away. Here is how I'm working around this issue: mkdir target/.extract java -jar target/bla-war-exec.jar -extractDirectory target/.extract This seems to work (still working on other errors). I get this issue with 2.2 (haven't used 2.3). I did not see it with 2.1. I'm guessing you tried on 2.3 first and then 2.2 or you're working with snapshots or something. > tomcat7:exec-war can't create .extract/webapps > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: MTOMCAT-263 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MTOMCAT-263 > Project: Apache Tomcat Maven Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.1, 2.2 > Reporter: jieryn > Fix For: 3.0 > > > bash$ java -jar target/app-1.0-SNAPSHOT-war-exec.jar > Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Exception: FATAL: impossible to create > directories:.extract/webapps > at > org.apache.tomcat.maven.runner.Tomcat7Runner.extract(Tomcat7Runner.java:586) > at > org.apache.tomcat.maven.runner.Tomcat7Runner.run(Tomcat7Runner.java:204) > at > org.apache.tomcat.maven.runner.Tomcat7RunnerCli.main(Tomcat7RunnerCli.java:212) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
