Karl-Heinz Marbaise updated MWAR-218: ------------------------------------- Fix Version/s: (was: 2.5) backlog > Missed XSD Schema for the file webapp-cache.xml > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: MWAR-218 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-218 > Project: Maven WAR Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 2.1-beta-1 > Reporter: Felipe Gaúcho > Fix For: backlog > > Attachments: webapp-cache.xsd > > > When packaging a web-application, maven-war-plugin generates a cache file, as > described here: > http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/exploded-mojo.html#cacheFile > This cache file is an XML file but the generated file doesn't contains an > Schema or DTD declaration on its header. This makes impossible to validate > such file, generating warnings in the most common Java IDEs. Since it is a > mandatory XML file I believe it should has a model specification somewhere (a > XSD Schema I hope), eventually just not released for public usage. > The steps I expect to make Maven 2 WAR plugin better: > - to modify the generator of the webapp-cache.xml file to include the proper > XML header (with namespace and schema location) > - to make the schema of such file publicly available, in order to give the > developers and automatic tools a chance to validate any error in a deployable > artifact. > This will give us a chance to detect potential bugs before to deploy a > web-application. > ----------- The expected header is something like: > {code:xml} > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> > <webapp-structure xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin" > xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" > xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin > http://maven.apache.org/???/???.xsd"> > ... > </webapp-structure> > {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.6#6162)
