Ok, since I'm the only talking in this thread (is the keyword "Java" the
problem around here?), I'll describe what I did to "kinda" get it to work.
Using an webapp directory, generated or not by Maven, I have the following
structure:
root (war)
| - WEB-INF
| | - classes (directory with bytecode data)
| | - lib (jars)
| | - web.xml
| | - appengine-web.xml
| | - (other config files)
| - static files, such as htmls, images and so on
| - folders with static files as well
When using appcfg.sh to update my application, it copies the entire
structure to a temporary folder, and then starts the upload of files.
The structure of the temporary folder is sightly different from the
original folder:
root (temp)
| - WEB-INF
| | - classes (directory with bytecode data)
| | - lib (jars)
| | - web.xml
| | - appengine-web.xml
| | - (other config files)
| - __static__
| - static files, such as htmls, images and so on
| - folders with static files as well
So, in other words, it copies all static files and folders to a
"__static__" directory. Nothing fancy so far.
The problem is, in my setup, I don't know why, the appcfg.sh is generating
symbolic links of the static files at the root temporary folder. Something
like this:
root (temp)
| - WEB-INF
| | - *
| - __static__
| | - image.png
| | - index.html
| - image.png -> /home/user/workspace/myapp/myapp-war/target/image.png
| - index.html -> /home/user/workspace/myapp/myapp-war/target/index.html
So I thought: why the heck does it need these symbolic links AND the
__static__ folder?
And then I made one of worst workarounds with the poorly supported
Maven-Java-App-Engine-Modules so far: after running "appcfg.sh update
myapp", I paused the process (ctrl+z) right after it created the temporary
folder, and right before it started scanning the files. With the paused
process, I went to the temp folder and removed all those weird symbolic
links, leaving only the __static__ and the WEB-INF directories. After that,
I resumed the process (fg), and there you go, problem solved.
I don't know if it is a bug, but it is a really annoying situation.
Next time I'll fake my input to look like python's to see if I get some
support =P
See you.
