Really struggling here and could use some help with these overlays. I seem
to be missing basic concepts or maybe I am just slow, sorry if these
questions are pedestrian.
So I am trying to produce an overlay to add the extra configuration for each
of my server deployments.
I have my main project which is a package pom type. It has dependencies, a
compiler plugin and a war plugin. Essentially:
project directory layout
/pom.xml
..src/main/java
..src/main/webapp
..src/main/reports
<project>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.myproject</groupId>
<artifactId>myartifact</artifactId>
<version>8.1.1</version>
<name>my project</name>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<configuration>
<source>1.6</source>
<target>1.6</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<configuration>
<webResources>
<resource>
<directory>${basedir}/src/main/reports</directory>
<targetPath>WEB-INF/reports</targetPath>
</resource>
</webResources>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</build>
<dependencies>
.
.
.
</dependencies>
</project>
I can compile and execute the war task to create the war. It of course is
missing my per server files. I presume this is correct so far, but please
let me know if I am already blowing it.
Then I have my other projects for each server:
project directory layout
/pom.xml
..src/main/java
..src/main/webapp
..src/main/reports
..server/server1
..server/server1/pom.xml
..server/server1/src/main/webapp
..server/server2
..server/server2/pom.xml
..server/server3/src/main/webapp
..server/server3
..server/server3/pom.xml
..server/server3/src/main/webapp
Each of these poms looks like this(clearly something is wrong):
<project>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<parent> //??? Am I suppose to be referencing the main project as a
parent?
<groupId>com.myproject</groupId>
<artifactId>myartifact</artifactId>
<version>8.1.1</version>
</parent>
<groupId>com.myproject</groupId>
<artifactId>server1</artifactId>
<version>8.1.1</version>
<packaging>war</packaging>
<dependencies>
<dependency> //???Am I suppose to be referencing the main project as a
dependency here?
<groupId>com.myproject</groupId>
<artifactId>myartifact</artifactId>
<version>8.1.1</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<configuration>
<overlays>
<overlay>
<groupId>com.myproject</groupId>
<artifactId>myartifact</artifactId>
</overlay>
</overlays>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
I get some dependency error that I don't understand. I am unclear as to the
relationship of the two projects.
Does the main project reference the overlay or vice versa?
Do I need to set a dependency in the overlay to the other project or vice
versa?
Also, what are the steps I am suppose to go through to get this built?
I am presuming that I install the first project, then package the second
project? This is a lot more work than when I used the profiles which was a
one command process, am I missing something?
