Bug #: 52236
Summary: Idea: support 'overlays' shaped like Maven overlays
Product: Tomcat 7
Version: trunk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org
ReportedBy: bimargul...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
Created attachment 27978
--> https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=27978
some code to look at.
The attached code allows tomcat to merge in one or more partial webapps to
build up the definitive webapp.
I wrote this code to support a particular development/debugging methodology.
I have a launcher program that uses the embedded API to launch tomcat with a
webapp with the static materials sitting where they sit in my dev tree, and the
classpath for the webapp taking the classes where eclipse writes them as well.
The result is live debugging. I wanted to extend this to the case where some of
my static content was merged in from 'overlays' in the maven-war-plugin sense
of the term, and I came up with the attached.
You may think it's nuts. You may think that it points up some modularity issues
around the context classses; there are an awful lot of tests for instanceof and
casts in this neighborhood.
If you have some sympathy for this idea, I would be willing to refine it and/or
work on an associated patch to change the modularity around
DirContext/BaseDirContext/StandardContext to make it less ugly to create.
