That is going to be tricky.

The JarScanner only finds "roots" of class collections. JAR files,
directories of classes etc. It is the JarScannerCallback that processes
them and there isn't any easy way limit what the callbacks scan - e.g.
to a given Java package. Even the non-easy ways involve some fairly
invasive code changes to Tomcat.

We did fix a bug for 9.0./15 onwards that added this method:

Tomcat.addWebapp(Strign URL)

The URL can point to a WAR within the JAR. Tomcat then extracts the WAR
to the local file system and runs it from there. Not exactly what you
were looking for but I mention it in case it is good enough.

Re: Configuring embedded Tomcat with @WebServlet annotations

2019-03-09 Thread Raffaele Sgarro
I apologize for the tone.

Already tried various StandardJarScanner options, but the root problem is
that nothing works while developing because classes from source Java files
are not packaged at all and are simply put on the classpath by the IDE (and
I do not want to add the directory used by the compiler of the IDE to the
path read by the scanner).

Scanning for annotations (and various other bits and pieces) is
controlled by the JarScanner component.

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/config/jar-scanner.html

You might need to set scanBootstrapClassPath="true" depending on exactly
how your far JAR is packaged / structured.

Another option is to use logEffectiveWebXml on the Context to create the
equivalent web.xml and then use that.

While the reply to your question wasn't helpful, that does not justify
the tone of your response.

I'd like to remind everyone of the code of conduct:

I'd also recommend everyone (re-)reads this from time to time:

I wonder why you think I didn't read the fucking manual before posting my
question here.

You'd be surprised to know that I'm studying this thing since a couple of
days and my conclusion is that it's something Tomcat can't do and I'll have
to use something like Spring to achieve it.

So no, it's not documented in the website.

Hey,

Try reading this, I think you will be fine:

No one can do it for you.

Configuring embedded Tomcat with @WebServlet annotations

2019-03-08 Thread Raffaele Sgarro
Hello all! How is one supposed to configure Tomcat (I'm on 9.x) to scan a
given package looking for @WebServlet servlets?

I cannot find any API and relevant examples in the Tomcat source.

More insight: my app is currently packaged as a WAR and deployed to a
running Tomcat instance. I want to build a fat JAR and starting Tomcat in
my main() - but then I do not have any WAR/JAR because all classes are on
classpath. Is there some utility in Tomcat? Is there any external library
commonly used for this?

Thanks,
Raffaele
