you can use the war:exploded goal and configure it to deploy your files on your tomcat server by adding in the pom.xml these lines
<build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <webappDirectory>../../bodet/tomcat</webappDirectory> </configuration> </plugin> On 5/3/06, Dennis Lundberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi all I'm trying to convert our existing ant-based build to Maven 2. So far things have been going rather well. The new Maven book is a great resource. Anyway building jars and assembling a war file is working fine, although we haven't been using wars before. The next step is to allow the developer to deploy the assembled webapp to the development server, we're using Tomcat. With the ant-based build this is a simple <copy> since we have direct file access to the developer server. In Maven 2 I have so far seen the Cargo plugin and a Tomcat plugin, but both of these seems overkill for our current needs. I would like to explode the contents of the war to a certain file path. Can I just use mvn war:exploded for this, provided that I configure "webappDirectory" to point to the developer server? -- Dennis Lundberg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
