[S2-ish] deploying exploded webapps with maven2 and cargo
(I sent the below to the cargo users list, but haven't gotten a response in
several days, so I'm going to be gauche and send it to struts; now that
Struts2 uses Maven2, some Struts folks must be dealing with this [*cough*
Wendy :-) ] If anyone has advice, it will be appreciated... )
I'm exploring the possibility of moving my webapp development team from
using Maven1 to Maven2 and one of the major practices we've developed has to
do with deploying our work in progress to a locally running Tomcat
instance. In the interest of not changing too many things at once, I'm
hoping to figure out how to use Cargo to do what we've previously had great
success achieving with the CodeCzar plugin.
I have found examples from various folks online indicating success with
this, but I am hitting a roadblock when I try to run exploded.
Everything seems to be fairly functional (if not quite straightforward!)
when I run from the WAR, but when I follow instructions from this post
(http://www.nabble.com/-mvnreloadable-webapps-t2762768.html#a7715823
) and add a location element to my deployable, I get the following
FileNotFound error
java.io.FileNotFoundException:
/Users/germuska/Development/myriad/webapp-customization/target/webapp-
customization-1.0-SNAPSHOT (No such file or directory)
at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
at java.io.FileInputStream.init(FileInputStream.java:106)
at
org.codehaus.cargo.container.tomcat.internal.AbstractTomcatDeployer.deploy(
AbstractTomcatDeployer.java:115)
When I copy the not-found path and execute the following, I get something:
% ls -lad
/Users/germuska/Development/myriad/webapp-customization/target/webapp-
customization-1.0-SNAPSHOT
drwxr-xr-x 20 germuska admin 680 Jan 8 13:29
/Users/germuska/Development/myriad/webapp-customization/target/webapp-
customization-1.0-SNAPSHOT
Any suggestions on how to dig more deeply on this? Below is the cargo
section of my effective POM. One thing which seems a little odd is that the
location element is only partially interpolated, although as seen in the
error message, it ends up fully interpolated by that point. So I don't know
if that is of any import or not.

You must have learned the secret-- I can't read all the mail I get, so
I search for my name occasionally to see if anyone is calling me. :)
Just for fun, try ${basedir}/target rather than
${project.build.directory} -- I think it's just surefire, but there
are definitely cases where the former works and not the latter.
I'm slightly confused about what's going on, since you mention both an
exploded webapp and remote deployment. I don't see how that would
work.
Best bet would be to construct a simple example app, maybe start with
the Struts blank archetype and add the Cargo config, and post back to
the Cargo list with a link to it.
I don't have time to set it up, but I'll probably play with it if you
get it started.
