I'm working on a project that needs to compile and build with *either* the
JSF Reference Implementation *or* Apache MyFaces. This has to be
user-specified, at build time. In addition to compilation and including the
correct .jar files in a webapp, there's also a modification that must be
done to web.xml, commenting out a section if we're using the RI, leaving it
in place for MyFaces.
And I had it working by having the user specify which JSF api and
implementation .jar files to use, as properties:
maven.shale.jsf.api.jar=${maven.repo.local}/myfaces/jars/myfaces-jsf-api-1.0.9.jar
maven.shale.jsf.impl.jar=${maven.repo.local}/myfaces/jars/myfaces-impl-1.0.9.jar
or
maven.shale.jsf.api.jar=${maven.repo.local}/javax.faces/jars/jsf-api-1.1.jar
maven.shale.jsf.impl.jar=${maven.repo.local}/javax.faces/jars/jsf-impl-1.1.jar
But then I found out that for MyFaces, there is a *third* .jar file that
must be included in the .war file. So now (realizing that there's probably
no way I can avoid a bunch of scripting) I'm thinking of having the user
specify either:
maven.shale.jsf = [myfaces|jsfri]
or
maven.shale.jsf.ri = [true|false]
maven.shale.jsf.myfaces = [true|false]
Before I go any further with that, is there a precedent I should follow?
Alternately, because I can't specify "a" dependency in the project.xml file,
I already wrote 'myfaces-project.xml' which does nothing but declare the
dependencies so Maven will download them. Is it possible that the "right
answer" is to have a 'myfaces-project.xml' file in each directory and do
either
$ maven build-all
or
$ maven -p myfaces-project.xml build-all
depending on which JSF implementation you want to use? I'm not sure I want
to start down that path, given that there may eventually be multiple JSF
implementations from which to choose.
What would you do in this situation?
If you want to take a look at the files:
http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/struts/shale/trunk/
or
$ svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/struts/shale/trunk/ shale
(If you want to try to build it, read this first:
http://wiki.wsmoak.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ShaleMavenBuild )
Thanks for any advice! I note that there is only one thread on this topic
in the archives... one post, with no replies.
