Michael Osipov commented on MWAR-367: ------------------------------------- I have found the issue: The overlay is passed from the artifact dependencies as {{DefaultOverlay}} in {{OverlayManager#initialize}}. Unfortunately, the constructor receives {{defaultIncludes}} and {{defaultExcludes}} which are set with the values of {{dependentWarIncludes}} and {{dependentWarExcludes}} and they are by default different to those in {{Overlay}}. For now, uses this workaround: {{<dependentWarExcludes>META-INF/MANIFEST.MF</dependentWarExcludes>}}. [~khmarbaise], since those attributes are deprecated, I am inclined to remove them completely from the {{OverlayManager}} because {{Overlay}} already comes with default excludes as well as the constructor {{DefaultOverlay(Artifact, String, String)}}. > overlay removes /META-INF/context.xml > ------------------------------------- > > Key: MWAR-367 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MWAR-367 > Project: Maven WAR Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Components: overlay > Affects Versions: 2.6 > Reporter: Peter Rader > Priority: Blocker > Attachments: test.zip > > > A /src/main/webapp/META-INF/context.xml in a overlay could not be included. > Even > <containerConfigXML>${project.basedir}/target/war/work/myoverlaygroup/myoverlayartifact/META-INF/context.xml</containerConfigXML> > > is ignored. > Usually having copyXML=true, tomcat should copy the context.xml to > /conf/Catalina/ but as long the xml is not part of the WAR i can not deploy > on an virgin tomcat. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
