EAR:generate-application-xml : Ability to deactivate <context-root> generation to be compliant with portlet deployment ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MEAR-29 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEAR-29 Project: Maven 2.x Ear Plugin Type: Improvement Versions: 2.1 Environment: OS: WIN2K (likely any platform) Application Server: JBOSS 4.0.3 (likely not relevant) Reporter: Thierry Barnier I embed a WAR portlet module inside an EAR module I configure the EAR module as follows <plugin> <groupId> org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.1</version> <configuration> <displayName>Portlet</displayName> <description>JBOSS portlet</description> <modules> <webModule> <groupId>myApp</groupId> <artifactId>JBPortlet1-war</artifactId> <!--<contextRoot>/portlet</contextRoot> <<<< My problem goes here --> </webModule> </modules> </configuration> </plugin> The maven-EAR-module generates an application.xml of the following form: <application> <display-name>Thierry Portlet</display-name> <description>JBOSS portlet</description> <module> <web> <web-uri> JBPortlet1-war-1.0.war</web-uri> <context-root>/portlet</context-root> <<< I would like to remove automatically this line </web> </module> </application> The problem is: In case of a portlet deployment, the <context-root> element must be omitted, or the application server reject the EAR package. There is no way today to disable <context-root> generation in application.xml If i comment / remove the <contextroot> line in the POM file , it takes the WAR filename as context-root in the application.xml I would like to remove automatically the <context-root> line. what could be the strategy? =>a <noContextRoot> tag added to the ear plugin config <webModule> <groupId>tutorials</groupId> <artifactId>JBPortlet1-war</artifactId> <noContextRoot/> </webModule> =>a way to specify that application-xml has to be generated regarding portlet constraints? (<isPortlet> property) <webModule> <groupId>tutorials</groupId> <artifactId>JBPortlet1-war</artifactId> <isPortlet>true</isPortlet> </webModule> -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
