Hi Eric,
Could you please describe which 'publish settings' you use: 'run server
with resources within the workspace' or 'run server with resources on
server' and whether you have the 'minimize application files copied to the
server' checkbox enabled.
There are some things that I find odd in your setup:
- why do you declare <jarModule> tags in you ear setup, what is the maven
packaging type of these dependencies? You don't need a <jarModule> for
regular jars, adding them as dependencies is sufficient
- you talk about the dependencies of your war module being added to your
ear/lib directory. This is not how maven works, if you declare an artifact
of type war as a dependency, that dependency doesn't have transitive
dependencies (they are packaged within the WEB-INF/lib by default)
- specifying both a <defaultLibBundleDir> and <bundleDir> seems redundant,
for me just the <defaultLibBundleDir>lib</defaultLibBundleDir> is enough
for us to get dependencies packaged inside ear/lib
We use eclipse mars with m2e and ibm wdt 8.5.5070 without these issues. We
use the run from workspace with minimize files copied enabled, which saves
you the republishing step most of the time.
You might want to take a look at the following file that wdt generates, it
contains a description of the deployed ear as it is presented to your local
websphere server and has been incredibly helpful to me on several occasions:
<workspace>\.metadata\.plugins\com.ibm.etools.wrd.websphere.v85\looseconfigurations\<servername>\<applicationname>\looseconfig.xmi
For completeness and to remove the 'magic' from how all this works, you can
start following the deployment settings here:
<wasprofile>\config\cells\<cellname>\applications\<applicationname>.ear\deployments\<applicationname>\deployment.xml
This file is used by websphere to describe an installed application, and in
the 'run from workspace' scenario it contains a property called
'was.loose.config' which points to the looseconfig.xmi file.
The effect of opening and closing projects will be reflected in the
looseconfig.xmi because you see either a reference to your project's
target/classes folder, or a reference to your local repository.
I hope the above gives you some leads in getting this working more smoothly
for you, but know that it is possible.
Regards, Marcel Schutte
