I have a project that has <dao.framework>hibernate</dao.framework> defined as
a property in the root pom.xml. In a "service" project, that property is
used as follows:
<dependency>
<groupId>${pom.groupId}</groupId>
<artifactId>appfuse-${dao.framework}</artifactId>
<version>${pom.version}</version>
</dependency>
In turn, the service dependency is used in WAR projects:
<dependency>
<groupId>${pom.groupId}</groupId>
<artifactId>appfuse-service</artifactId>
<version>${pom.version}</version>
<exclusions>
</dependency>
>From here, child projects use this WAR project (it's overlayed). We're
using the Maven WarPath plugin
(http://static.appfuse.org/plugins/maven-warpath-plugin/) to read
dependencies from WARs.
For some reason, if I put <dao.framework>ibatis</dao.framework> in my child
project, it doesn't override the variable in the service/pom.xml. However,
if I pass in -Ddao.framework=ibatis from the command-line, everything works.
Is it possible to override property values in child projects - or is it only
possible from the command-line? My child project does not refer to any
other projects as parent projects.
