I'm looking for some advice on how to use continuum to build a web application where the web.xml is generated using the webdoclet ran against another project's codebase.
I have a parent project with two subprojects which generate a class file jar and a war file: project-parent: ---project-library ---project-webapp The jar contains the servlet code used by the war file. The web.xml file is generated using Kenney's xdoclet-maven-plugin, but has a little quirk to it: the configuration of the webdoclet command has a source directory with a relative path of "../project-library/src/main/java". This works fine for builds in a development environment. But continuum checks out into numbered working directories and the path doesn't make much sense in its build process. Is there a way to tell continuum you want to perform a checkout one directory higher than the pom? Or perhaps a way to perform an xdoclet against a jar file full of sources instead? I'm assuming that the typical manner of doing this is to include the source code in the war project instead. I was avoiding this in the interest of not having the class files sitting in WEB-INF/classes - I prefer another lib entry instead. Kris
