I have configured a gradle build script for a war, and want to run it
locally for testing, using the tomcat plugin (
https://github.com/bmuschko/gradle-tomcat-plugin )
Our tomcat instance is slightly customized: el-api.jar and jasper-el.jar
have been replaced with tomcat-el-api-7.0.4 and tomcat-jaserp-el-7.0.4, as
some of our JSP pages use parameterized EL statements.
When launching tomcat embedded with the gradle plugin, the classpath is not
set correctly, what am I doing wrong here?
// gradle.build
apply plugin: 'war'
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'tomcat'
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenRepo name: 'repo_bootstrap', urls: "
http://artifactory.local/artifactory/repo";
}
dependencies {
def tomcatVersion = '6.0.29'
def tomcatElVersion = '7.0.4'
def hazelcastVersion = '1.9'
def mysqlVersion = '5.1.13'
classpath "org.apache.tomcat:catalina:${tomcatVersion}",
"org.apache.tomcat:coyote:${tomcatVersion}",
"org.apache.tomcat:jasper:${tomcatVersion}",
"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-el-api:${tomcatElVersion}",
"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-jasper-el:${tomcatElVersion}",
"com.hazelcast:hazelcast:${hazelcastVersion}",
"mysql:mysql-connector-java:${mysqlVersion}",
"com.jemstep.commons:jemstep-session-manager:2.0.0-SNAPSHOT",
"gradle-tomcat-plugin:gradle-tomcat-plugin:0.3"
}
configurations {
classpath.exclude module: 'el-api'
classpath.exclude module: 'jasper-el'
}
}
I have a tag that uses an EL statement:
"#{mybean.someCheck('param')}"
In the default tomcat el-api / jasper-el libraries, parameters cannot be
passed, but the tomcat EL libraries from 7.0.4 do support this format. When
running the tomcatRun task with gradle in debug mode, i get the following,
showing that the "classpath" dependency set is being resolved without using
the exclude. This then causes the rendered to fail, complaining about the
