war:inplace overwrite files of current project by those coming from overlay war
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MWAR-229
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-229
Project: Maven 2.x WAR Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.1-beta-1
Reporter: Julien HENRY
I have a web application that depends on another WAR (overlay). According to
m-war-p documentation [1], when a file is present in both the application and
the dependent war, the current application is the priority. My understanding is
that when there are two files with same path
in both current application and dependent war, this is the file in current
application that should ultimately be taken to produce the final war.
Example:
current application contains the file src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml
dependent war contain a nearly empty file dependentWar.war!WEB-INF/web.xml
When I run mvn war:inplace I can read in the log:
[INFO] --- maven-war-plugin:2.1-beta-1:inplace (default-cli) @ myWebApp ---
...
[INFO] Processing war project
[INFO] Processing overlay[ id com.mycompany:dependentWar]
...
[INFO] File[WEB-INF/web.xml] belonged to overlay[currentBuild] so it will be
overwritten.
As a result the src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml file was overwritten in the
current application by the file coming from the dependent WAR.
If I run mvn war:exploded the result is correct and the file in
target/myCurrentWebApp-XX-SNAPSHOT/WEB-INF/web.xml is the one coming from the
current web app.
