Great - thanks.

I think there are three categories:
WEB-INF/lib: webapp and its dependencies (host-api) - I think these can just be project dependencies WEB-INF/tuscany/boot: webapp-host and its dependencies - <bootLibs> configuration element
WEB-INF/tuscany/extensions: <extensions> configuration element

All of these should have defaults that can be overridden in the <plugin> section of the pom, something like:
   <plugin>
      <groupdId>org.apache.tuscany.plugin</groupId>
      <artifactId>tuscany-war-plugin</artifactId>
      <configuration>
          <bootLibs>
             <dependency>
                 <groupId>org.apache.tuscany</groupId>
                 <artifactId>core</artifactId>
             </dependency>
          </bootLibs>
          <extensions>
             <dependency>
                 <groupId>org.apache.tuscany</groupId>
                 <artifactId>axis2</artifactId>
             </dependency>
          </extensions>
      </configuration>
   </plugin>

We should also support all the features of the normal war plugin - I assume we can get that just by subclassing it.

Hope that's enough to get started :-)

Jeremy,

I am starting on the war plugin. Could you pls point me to the runtime
artefacts (tuscany boot libraries etc) that need to be included in the
war?

Subject: Re: Tuscany war plugin

Basically set up jars for the runtime rather than using war dependencies
to put them in WEB-INF/lib. This would include:
* Copy the webapp host jars to WEB-INF/lib
* Copy the core runtime to e.g. WEB-INF/tuscany/boot
* Take a set of extensions (as artifact references) and add them to e.g.
WEB-INF/tuscany/extension
* Copy extension dependencies to somewhere an ArtifactRepository can
find them

It could also check web.xml for the presence of the Tuscany listeners
etc. and potentially add them.

Is there more information on what specifically this plugin would need
to do?

Jim had said that as a prereq to a release then we should have a
maven plugin that will set up the webapp runtime in a war. I think
that having such a beast would make building the samples easier and
so would suggest we get to work on it - is anyone interested in
helping?
