Thanks for your input.
I only joined this list this morning, and am appalled by the lack of
constructive responses.
I have just upgraded to tomcat7, it works, great, and has solved a
problem I had, great.
However I thought that my problems with redeployment were worth feeding back:
The new deployment url granularity seems like an improvement, however
I am finding that the
rationale for not providing a default for backwards compatibility is
not explained,
and of the three maven plugins only the old one works:
Given properties:
<properties>
<tomcat.username>admin</tomcat.username>
<tomcat.password></tomcat.password>
<tomcat.username>admin</tomcat.username>
<tomcat.password></tomcat.password>
<!-- tomcat7 needs /text appended -->
<tomcat.url>http://localhost:8080/manager</tomcat.url>
</properties>
and plugins
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat6-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0-beta-1</version>
<configuration>
<path>/${project.artifactId}</path>
<url>${tomcat.url}</url>
<username>${tomcat.username}</username>
<password>${tomcat.password}</password>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0-beta-1</version>
<configuration>
<path>/${project.artifactId}</path>
<url>${tomcat.url}</url>
<username>${tomcat.username}</username>
<password>${tomcat.password}</password>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.1</version>
<configuration>
<path>/${project.artifactId}</path>
<url>${tomcat.url}</url>
<username>${tomcat.username}</username>
<password>${tomcat.password}</password>
</configuration>
</plugin>
the only command which works for me (Maven 3.0.4) is :
mvn install tomcat:redeploy -Dtomcat.url=http://localhost:8080/manager/html
Failures:
mvn install tomcat:redeploy -Dtomcat.url=http://localhost:8080/manager/text
mvn install tomcat6:redeploy -Dtomcat.url=http://localhost:8080/manager/text
mvn install tomcat7:redeploy -Dtomcat.url=http://localhost:8080/manager/text
mvn install tomcat6:undeploy tomcat6:deploy
-Dtomcat.url=http://localhost:8080/manager/text
mvn install tomcat7:undeploy tomcat7:deploy
-Dtomcat.url=http://localhost:8080/manager/text
I am not asking for help and would be very happy not to have any RTFM replies.
yours
Tim
