Re: Putting HTML files in src/main/webapp

[Steve Swinsburg]

Alan,

The fragment of XML from the pom that I posted IS in the Wicket Quickstart generated via "mvn archetype:generate". It's also in the pom when you use the helper code available here: http://wicket.apache.org/quickstart.html

You said this:

Hence why it's not a hack, it's standard Maven stuff. You don't need the maven war plugin to generate the default war either. However, since you are doing it in a non standard way then you'll need the maven war plugin to assemble your war in the way you want.

Thanks for that, but that's not really my issue. How do I make Wicket
find the .html files in the root of the war?

So I gave you a link to do that. Since your HTML files will now be in a non standard location (ie not next to the classes) you will need to configure your app to look in the location you desire, and that information is available in the wiki link I posted:

All of this information is readily available; first search item for the configuration, quickstart for pom.

What 'hack' do you need for Maven to include the HTML in the classes
directory? Presumably, since most other Wicket developers have their
HTML alongside their classes, they need this hack as well right? It's
just standard maven building:

attack me when all I asked was a simple question I couldn't find the
answer to elsewhere.

added a resource directive to Maven (ala below) to include the HTML from the webapp directory and it helpfully copied it twice as part of the war Wicket still wouldn't find them. That was all I meant, hack was probably the wrong word and I apologies if I upset anyone. At the same time, why

Add this to your POM to add everything except the Java source, as is.
It's even in the Maven quickstart:

<build>
                <resources>
                        <resource>
                                <filtering>false</filtering>
                                <directory>${basedir}/src/java</directory>
                                <includes>
                                        <include>**</include>
                                </includes>
                                <excludes>
                                        <exclude>**/*.java</exclude>
                                </excludes>
                        </resource>
                </resources>      
        </build>

Nonetheless, the first result from a search for wicket html location
(Safari even autofilled the last word for me) I found this:

Thanks Steve for the added condescending tone there, but above isn't

I even attempted to use the non-maven partitioning method but without
much documentation on the PathStripperLocator and a working example I
got lost).

I posted here as a last resort to my question and wasn't looking to be

norm.

Thanks anyway,
Alan.
