I've got a project that needs to create environment specific (i.e. the data
in web.xml & associated files varies) war files. As suggested in the war
plugin docs I've created a postgoal on war:webapp that does a replace on the
files in ${maven.war.webapp.dir}
This works great the 1st time, but the 2nd time only works for the
substitutions in web.xml. So I dug out the definition of war:webapp and can
see what the cause is:
<j:if test="${webSourcesPresent == 'true'}">
<ant:copy todir="${maven.war.webapp.dir}">
<ant:fileset dir="${maven.war.src}"
includes="${maven.war.src.includes}"
excludes="${maven.war.src.excludes}">
</ant:fileset>
</ant:copy>
</j:if>
<util:available file="${maven.war.webxml}">
<ant:copy file="${maven.war.webxml}"
tofile="${webapp.build.webinf}/web.xml"
overwrite="true" />
</util:available>
namely that web.xml is copied with overwrite = true, but everything else
isn't. So the 2nd time round only web.xml gets copied over and so replace
is acting on files that have already had the tokens substituted.
Is this variation in the overwrite setting by design? If so can anyone
suggest a work-around
many thanks
James
