Hi James, which version of Geronimo and the Geronimo plugin are you using ??
Also, do you have an example test app that you could attach that demonstrates
the failure ??

Hello,
I am a developer working on an Eclipse plugin attempting to use WTP to
help ppl write Service Based web apps. Why am I asking a question on
the geronimo user group? Well because I am attempting to use Apache
Geronimo as the primary J2EE container.
My problem is this, I need to be able to deploy libraries (yes I know
about the PublishOperation and that I can generate a jar with a big
manifest file enumerating all shared libraries) that are only used by
one particular web app or dependent web app. So I have a classpath
container, the trouble is that the Apache Geronimo plugin that I have
access to does not seem to care about entries in classpath containers,
only those that are directly enumerated in a .classpath file (bad form
IMHO).
I have attempted to deploy libs into WebContent/WEB-INF/lib, but on
windows WTP ( or some plugin ) keeps the bloody file lock and will not
let me update or delete it. I even attempted to deploy the libs to a
separate directory and then told WTP via a <wb-resource/> tag in the WST
common component configuration file where to find it. The lib showed up
in the list of WebApp Libraries, but then when deployed to Geronimo it
was not recognized.
I have tried this and a few other combinations. The only one that has
worked is if I create a new shared lib entry jar (bad form since not all
web apps on the container will want the given set of libraries) or if I
enumerate the libraries one by one directly in the .classpath (classpath
containers anyone?).
Is there anyway to make the plugin respect the classpath container? Or
at least give me a clue through the bloody EMF wilderness as to where in
the plugin the deployment configuration is determined so that I can
consider my options (you know like a patch...)? I am at my wits end,
any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
