I have downloaded the project and tested it. Replicated a bit of the structure on my project and seems that now I am able to do it with the empty value on path. Why I can do it with the "/" anyway?
Even with your project, I was not able to change the running port defining it in the pom.xml. Only when I use -httpPort 9090, for example, I am able to do it. The <port> tag needs some extra configuration, or its purpose it is not to define the running port, and being so I am using it in the wrong way. About the shutdown feature (my jar is running as a service so I cannot just hit Ctrl+C to stop it), can you give me some pointers of where I should begin if I want to do it (any class for that purpose, etc.)? Thanks for the quick answer Olivier Lamy, and thanks for your attention. I am really enjoying this learning process :) Best regards, Sérgio Areias On 4 September 2012 16:43, Olivier Lamy <ol...@apache.org> wrote: > A bit weird. > Can you have a look at this project which works fine with empty path > https://github.com/olamy/tomcat-foo-artifact > > 2012/9/4 Sérgio Areias <juger.on.n...@gmail.com>: >> On 4 September 2012 09:26, Olivier Lamy <ol...@apache.org> wrote: >>> >>> 2012/9/3 Sérgio Areias <juger.on.n...@gmail.com>: >>> > Hi. >>> > >>> > On 31 August 2012 21:24, Olivier Lamy <ol...@apache.org> wrote: >>> > >>> >> 2012/8/27 Sérgio <juger.on.n...@gmail.com>: >>> >> > Hi. >>> >> > >>> >> > I am trying to use the Tomcat Maven Plugin to create an executable jar >>> >> file >>> >> > with an embedded Tomcat7, but I am having two issues when trying to do >>> >> so. >>> >> > >>> >> > The first one, is that I am not getting how I can stop my executable >>> >> jar.
