I have what seems like a simple task but is getting out hand. We deploy servlet war webapps from a multi-module Maven2 build to a central Tomcat 5.x server. I want to customize the deployment of webapps to a central server for each developer. Right now I have two profiles setup, dev and staging. These set properties to send the cargo deployment to either our developer machine or a staging machine for QA. With 5-6 devs potentially working on the project I want to customize deployments to the dev machine so that each war deploys under a custom ctx path with the developers initials. For Eg. right now all dev profile deploys go out like:
http://devserver:8080/webapp1 http://devserver:8080/webapp2 http://devserver:8080/webapp3 I'd like to set a dev profile called dev-ccc and have it deploy the war files like so: http://devserver:8080/ccc-webapp1 http://devserver:8080/ccc-webapp2 http://devserver:8080/ccc-webapp3 So far I have a property set in the default profile of the project root pom (parent to each webapp pom) called webapp.root.ctx and it is set to "/". The project root pom inherits from a parent pom which details the all the other profiles that I want to override the default profile. So if I do a deploy with the regular dev profile the default profile is also activated which assumes the ctx path of "/". I created a profile "dev-ccc" in the root project's parent pom that sets the ctx path to "/ccc-". If I deploy the servlets with profile dev-ccc the project's super pom webapp.root.ctx is still set to "/". I verify this using help:effective-pom. It's as if the properties in the super pom are shadowed by the properties in the project root pom. I thought it would be the other way around. To further clarify this is a rough example of my poms: Team-wide super pom: <project> <!-- other stuff --> <properties> <webapp.root.ctx>/ccc-</webapp.root.ctx> </properties> </project> Project root pom <project> <!-- other stuff --> <properties> <webapp.root.ctx>/</webapp.root.ctx> </properties> </project> Webapp1 pom: <project> <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId> <artifactId>cargo-maven2-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <deployer> <deployables> <deployable> <groupId>com.mycomp.web</groupId> <artifactId>webapp1</artifactId> <type>war</type> <properties> <context>${webapp.root.ctx}webapp1</context> </properties> </deployable> </deployables> </deployer> </configuration> <executions> <execution> <phase>deploy</phase> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </project> Could somebody lend a hand? Thanx a bunch in advance! -Cliff -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Cargo%3A-custom-ctx-path-for-deployment-tp15705398s177p15705398.html Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
