It works fine with pre-compiled JARs and source files. If you have JAR files you need to include, just create a 'src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/lib' directory in your overlay directory and drop the jars in.
Overlay setup instructions are here: http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CASUM/Maintaining+local+customizations+using+Maven+2 Maven is an incredible time saver. When a new version of CAS comes out, all I need to do is change the version numbers in pom.xml and rebuild the project on my dev. server. I can quickly test our local modifications to make sure nothing broke with the upgrade, fix anything that did break and push the changes (including the pom.xml) into my SVN repo. Then upgrading production is easy as: svn co https://www.ja-sig.org/svn/cas3/tags/cas-3-3-3-final/ cd cas-3-3-3-final mvn clean package install svn co https://dev.usf.edu/svn/CAS/3-3-3/cas-server-usf cd cas-server-usf mvn clean package install The WAR file is now in 'cas-server-usf/target' and is ready to be deployed. You can even configure Maven to deploy the WAR for you, but I haven't gotten that fancy with it :) -Eric Eric Pierce, RHCE -- University of South Florida -- (813) 974-8868 -- [email protected] On Mon, Aug 10, 2009 at 10:38 AM, Andrew Feller<[email protected]> wrote: > Scott, > > I must admit I am ignorant about the overlay method.
