I have a standard java application that I'm building with Maven. It includes a few files under src/main/resource directory. At present, those files are being packaged inside the JAR fiel that is produced, which I would expect, but is there a way to configure the maven assembly plugin to package those files outside of the JAR file, or can I achieve that with another plugin (resources?)?
My main problem is I have to sign all the JARs of WEB-INF\lib folder.
So this is what I have done:-
Enabled archiveClasses option to package classes also into JAR
Added JAR-Signer Plugin and setting the archive directory to ${project.build.directory}\${project.build.finalName}\WEB-INF\lib
After package finishes, I can check that in target directory all JARs in lib folder are signed but my war file contains unsigned JAR only. Most probably because the jar-signer executed after maven-war-plugin has created the war file.
I tried with setting JAR-Signer to pre-package phase also, but the lib folder is not present by then.
So what I need is to execute Maven JAR-Signer just before maven creates the war file from target directory.
Thanks
I have a pom.xml which currently generate war file. I want to create a JAR and the jar which i am creating should have the two directories, one is war in the exploded form and another is some config folder.
My new jar should have below structure.
application.jar
|__application_war_directory
|__config folder
I am new to maven. Can you please anyone help me
I have one parent project which has WAR and JAR project. Currently the .xml and .properties files are packaged with jar. My requirement is that I want the resources folder of jar project which as .xml and .properties files to be available in WEB-INF folder of the war when the war project is build.
So that I can edit the files when the war is deployed on server.
There are a few ways to share resources across multiple projects or modules:
Cut and paste them.
Use Assembly and Dependency plugins
Use the maven-remote-resources-plugin
the second approach is described here
the third approach is described here
I am trying to create an EAR file from the command prompt. I have used
jar -cvf myServletWAR.ear .
But my question is, how can I get this EAR file to have WAR files and JAR files inside it?
Do I need to create the war file separately and include in the ear file?
I can't use the ANT file for this, as there are few restrictions on this project.
One of my EAR files has structure as follows:
app.ear
- APP-INF
- lib
// libraries (.jar) here
- META-INF
- MANIFEST.MF
- weblogic-application.xml
- module1.war
- customlib.jar
This archive is being deployed onto WebLogic 10.3.
Remeber .ear is just a ZIP file, so you can always create it this way, although it seems messy.
check if jar cmd is working if so, create the jar of your class files and descriptors etc.
After that jar -cvf <<earname>> <<files want to be in the ear >>
Could you try this :
jar -xvf myServletWAR.ear
You could also refer to :
How to add a WAR file into an existent EAR file? and how to I have two .war files within one .ear file?
You would have to add these EAR file references in the application.xml of the ear file.
If you have generated a client and EJB together, they are automatically packaged into an enterprise archive file (.ear) and you do not need to do this. Otherwise:
Package the EJB's .jar file into an .ear for your application. To do
this use a jar command similar to the following:
jar -cvf myApplication .ear myService.jar
If you have a client .war file you can add that to the .ear file in the same way.
Create a deployment descriptor application.xml either using your
application server's tools or by copying and editing a sample, as
follows:
Locate a sample .ear, which is in examples directory in
mapdemo/mapdemo/repos/myService.deploy/JMapServ-WL.ear
Extract the descriptor application.xml from the .ear file, using the following jar command:
jar -xvf JMapServ-WL.ear META-INF/application.xml
Make a copy of the application.xml descriptor and edit it, replacing JMapServ with the name of your .jar file. You can also add the name of your .war file if you added that to the .ear file.
Put the descriptor in the meta-inf subdirectory of the directory containing your .ear file.
Package the descriptor into your .ear file using a jar command similar to:
jar -uvf myService.ear META-INF/application.xml
If you want to create an ear from the command line, following are the options that you can try.
Option 1. Using an ant build and use the ear task. Configure this ear task as stated in stackoverflow question on ant ear task usage
Note: Maven based build is preferred over ant these days.
Option 2. If you can use maven, configure your modules and use maven ear plugin to generate an ear. The below command will be able to generate the ear.
mvn clean package
Refer to the maven question regarding a Java EE project for more information on configuring war, jars for an ear.
.jar file into an .ear
jar -cvf myApplication.ear myService.jar
.war file you can add that to the .ear file in the same way.
