Plugins tomcat:run and tomcat:run-war are not loading the Provided and Runtime
dependencies.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MTOMCAT-46
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MTOMCAT-46
Project: Maven 2.x Tomcat Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.0-beta-1
Reporter: Bernardo Gomez Palacio
User Story: Developers checkout a Web Application from our SCM Repository(SVN)
and through the tomcat:run (or tomcat:run-war) plugin can bootstrap and start a
Tomcat Server and test the Web Application locally without even having Tomcat
instances previously deployed either locally or remotely.
To fulfill such User Story I started with the tomcat:run plugin but had issues
with the Provided and Runtime dependencies. I then jumped to the tomcat:run-war
using my own tomcat configuration files but had similar issues. I see that the
tomcat:run-war plugin doesn't create a ClassLoader for the Catalina container
in a similar way Tomcat's Bootstrap class does. I downloaded the code of the
tomcat plugin and I am working in the fix but I need to share some thoughts
about this...
Approach A) Use a similar schema as the Tomcat Bootstrap in the Run*Mojos, let
the developer provide those dependencies through the
dependency:copy-dependencies to lets say target/tomcat/lib and load them from
there. So the User controls what is deployed in lib.
Approach B) Use a similar schema as the Tomcat Bootstrap in the Run*Mojos, the
dependencies will be fetched using the dependencies defined in the pom.xml file
(including transitive dependency resolution) and added to the ClassLoader.
Thoughts and ideas are welcomed.
