not able to get maven war plugin to filter out unwanted resources
from my .war file.
Hi, For some reason this simple little task is making my head spin...
I am trying to filter out some files from my war using
<webResources>/<resource>/<excludes>.... But everything i try to exclude
ends up
being put into the .war.
There does seem to be a bug related to the issue I'm having
(http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-198)
hopefully someone can help me with a work-around ?
Here's what i did ...
I created a simple maven web project using mvn archetype:generate.
Then i added the following lines to the pom (in the build section):
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0.2</version>
<configuration>
<webResources>
<resource>
<filtering>true</filtering>
<directory>src/main/webapp</directory>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/*.jsp</exclude>
</excludes>
</resource>
</webResources>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
I put in some dummy jsp's in the project for testing, like so:
cbedford@cbedford-laptop: /tmp/trial/findFiles > find . | grep jsp
./src/main/webapp/pig/zooboo.jsp
./src/main/webapp/index.jsp
Then i ran mvn -X install .. the debug output indicated that the maven-war
plugin
recognized the file patterns that i specified as 'to be excluded'.. Here is
the output:
[DEBUG] Configuring mojo
'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-war-plugin:2.0.2:war' -->
[DEBUG] (f) archiveClasses = false
[DEBUG] (s) classesDirectory = /tmp/trial/findFiles/target/classes
[DEBUG] (f) filters = []
[DEBUG] (f) outputDirectory = /tmp/trial/findFiles/target
[DEBUG] (f) primaryArtifact = true
[DEBUG] (s) project = MavenProject: com.lackey:findFiles:1.0-SNAPSHOT @
/tmp/trial/findFiles/pom.xml
[DEBUG] (f) warName = findFiles
[DEBUG] (s) warSourceDirectory = /tmp/trial/findFiles/src/main/webapp
[DEBUG] (s) filtering = true
[DEBUG] (s) directory = src/main/webapp
[DEBUG] (s) excludes = [**/*.jsp]
[DEBUG] (f) webResources = [Lorg.apache.maven.model.Resource;@1815338
[DEBUG] (s) webappDirectory = /tmp/trial/findFiles/target/findFiles
[DEBUG] (f) workDirectory = /tmp/trial/findFiles/target/war/work
[DEBUG] -- end configuration --
HOWEVER.. when i dumped out the contents of the .war. .the files i was
trying to
filter were still there (as you can see below.).
cbedford@cbedford-laptop: /tmp/trial/findFiles > rm -rf /tmp/jar/*
cbedford@cbedford-laptop: /tmp/trial/findFiles > cp target/findFiles.war
/tmp/jar
cbedford@cbedford-laptop: /tmp/trial/findFiles > cd !$
cd /tmp/jar
cbedford@cbedford-laptop: /tmp/jar > jar xvf findFiles.war
created: META-INF/
inflated: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

created: META-INF/maven/com.lackey/findFiles/
inflated: META-INF/maven/com.lackey/findFiles/pom.xml
inflated: META-INF/maven/com.lackey/findFiles/pom.properties
I tried using <includes>...</includes> as well as <excludes>.. this did
not help at all.
If anyone sees a problem with how i invoked the plugin, or knows of a
work-around,
please do let me know ! i'd be very grateful.
thanks !
chris
PS:
I tried the work-around in this thread (using packagingExcludes)
http://old.nabble.com/Exclude-subversion-files-in-war-td5288845.html#a5288845
didn't work for me.

If you used multiple war modules and war overlay to insert the
properties into the ones for dev, this would give what you require.

Thanks very much to all of you for your help !
I have found a very simple answer, which suggests to me that CURRENT
DOCUMENTATION IS MISSING AN IMPORTANT EXAMPLE.. how to exclude stuff from
the default webapp directory. I will add this example to the maven user
wiki.. but for closure (i think) on this topic, here is the trick i used:
<build>
<finalName>findFiles</finalName>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1-beta-1</version>
<configuration>
<warSourceExcludes>**/*.jsp</warSourceExcludes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
i'm attaching the entire sample project as well.
regards .

You could probably achieve the same thing with a second execution of war:war
in your main project (only attaching with classifier test) but, that is
distinctly un-maven-like (and therefore a bad plan^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hhack)

ehhh...
you do know that if you run
mvn integration-test
then the post-integration-test phase will _never_ be run
the correct solution to the above is to not run mvn integration-test but run
mvn verify instead (and bonus, it's shorter)
I only mention because you seem to (mistakenly) think having a post-package
phase would help you
[/ASIDE]
Here is what I would do.
I would have a second war module which has the test files and depend on your
main module... the automatic war overlaying will ensure that your test war
has the test resources in addition to the standard resources, and it leaves
your main module un-sullied by the test stuff

Re: not able to get maven war plugin to filter out unwanted
resources from my .war file.
Posted by buildlackey <ch...@gmail.com>.
well, i could attach an ant run script (that does the file moving)
to the prepare-package phase... but unfortunately there is no post-package
phase..
this means that if anyone runs 'package' the files would be moved from
where they need to be during dev/test phases, and never moved back.
for production .war's i strip out my environmental properties and deploy
them separately, or let the server administrator deal with setting the
properties... so some stuff has to be present on the classpath during
dev, but not production.
So, good idea in theory.. .but because of the lack of a post-package phase..
it opens the build script to behaving strangely.
thanks in any case for your response !

Well... an obvious workaround would be to simply move the files to a
directory not being packaged by Maven, or just delete them. I am
guessing this is not acceptable for some reason.
