[OT] Where to store classpath resources outside of WAR
When deploying a WAR file whose code uses information stored in classpath
configuration resources, where should you store these configuration files if
outside of the WAR file?
If you want to keep these configuration files outside of the WAR file to
make for easier deployment in multiple environments, isn't the only other
classpath available to Tomcat within its own lib folder? And in that case,
the configuration file would be available in all contexts. So where should
such a file be stored (i.e. available to the webapp as a resource but not
available to all contexts)?
Thanks.

RE: maven.proxy.nonProxyHosts
Posted by Romain Gilles <Ro...@reuters.com>.
You can try to create an internal repository. This internal repository
will be your only one entry point (i.e.
maven.repo.remote=http://myintermalrepo.mycompany:8080)
And you will not have to use the proxy configuration.

Subject: maven.proxy.nonProxyHosts
Hi,
using Maven 1.1, I've read there was an option to use a proxy and also
to exclude special urls from it - for internet connections, we need to
use a proxy, but for our maven repo on the LAN we don't.
However, this:
maven.repo.remote=http://192.168.0.54, http://www.ibiblio.org/maven
maven.proxy.host=MY_PROXY_SERVER_URL
maven.proxy.port=8080
maven.proxy.nonProxyHosts=http://192.168.0.54
Doesn't seem to work.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Christine
P.s.: The codeczar tomcat plugin finally works! :-)

Nope, we don't need a proxy username or password -
plus, the IP I wrote down is the IP that should NOT use a proxy.
When I type in the IP into my browser, I can see the maven repository.
And when I remove the proxy setting it also works in Maven.
With these settings:
maven.repo.remote=http://192.168.0.54
maven.proxy.nonProxyHosts=http://192.168.0.54
#maven.proxy.host=MYPROXY
#maven.proxy.port=8080
It works (but then the urls that need a proxy don't work anymore...)
maven tomcat:deploy
Trying to get missing dependencies (and updated snapshots) required by MYPROJECT:
- Attempting to download MYFOLDER:MYDEPENDENCY:jar from http://192.168.0.54
70K downloaded
Well, actually, I am just thinking - the IP I wrote down needs to be tunneled in a VPN. But when I am in the VPN tunnel, should that also apply for Maven? In Tomcat I added noProxy Settings like this:
http.proxyPort=8080
http.proxyHost=MYPROXY
http.nonProxyHosts=localhost||192.168.*
And with Tomcat it does work that way.
Thanks in advance,
Christine

Well, that must be a permission problem, check your server logs, maybe
just a wrong pwd (don't you need maven.proxy.password?), or wrong
directory permissions?
And yes, I can confirm that maven.proxy.nonProxyHosts is an existing
property [1] and that it is used by DependencyVerifier, even though I
couldn't find it documented anywhere... ;)

Well, actually, using a DNS name is just what I really want and so what I tried in the first place (but as I am not sure whether or not Maven uses my Windows hosts file, I tried the hardcoded IP adress instead).
In my user home in my build.properties file I got:
maven.repo.local=C:/MYFOLDER/Maven1.1/repository
maven.home.local=C:/MYFOLDER/Maven1.1
maven.repo.remote=http://192.168.0.54
maven.proxy.nonProxyHosts=http://192.168.0.54
maven.proxy.host=MYPROXY_SERVER
maven.proxy.port=8080
Then I typed in:
maven tomcat:deploy
Which results in:

What I would like to know: As it was quite hard to actually find the nonProxy property setting, could it be that it doesn't even exist? In other words, can you confirm that using Maven 1.1 the setting "maven.proxy.nonProxyHosts" actually exists and should be working???

Well, I am ashamed, that's why I didn't want to in the first place.
Well, well, well ;-). It would have worked, if I had also changed the tomcat dependencies to Version 5.5.12 instead of ONLY replacing my running Tomcat.

Try removing the http:
maven.proxy.nonProxyHosts=192.168.0.54
And would you share how you made the tomcat plugin work? Maybe other
users could still profit from it. :)

Re: Where to store classpath resources outside of WAR
Posted by David Delbecq <de...@oma.be>.
In custom context.xml, you can define the ressource, that is mainly
Datasources that are linked with jndi. Just define a datasource and
store your config in the database. Or if you want more complicated
things, store other tyes of objects in your jndi, by defining them in
your context.xml.
Note that, even if you provide a custom context.xml, this one will be
overriden by the one in META-INF/context.xml during deployement of
webapp! In general, i would say, if you want to store things outside the
war, just make it accessible either from database or from JNDI.
As to your suggestion, i think it will bring more complexity and is more
error prone than embedding config in war. Some commercial application i
have seen (JIRA for example), just provide a folder you unpack on your
development station, you configure it, then type "ant war" and you get a
ready to deploy webapp. No need to tocuh anything server side.

Re: Where to store classpath resources outside of WAR
Posted by lightbulb432 <ve...@hotmail.com>.
Similar to how you can specify an mycontext.xml in conf/Catalina/localhost to
specify the context without having to modify prepackaged WAR files, can you
so something like place files in context-specific folders (i.e.
conf/Catalina/localhost/mycontext/resource1.properties) that would be
accessible from the classpath of the web app?
If it doesn't exist, would it be a good feature request? It would accomplish
multiple things:
- Wouldn't expose the classpath resources to more web applications than
intended (which would be the case if you put it in CATALINA_HOME/lib).
- Would allow deployers to not have to modify the web.xml and place the
classpath resource in WEB-INF/classes or WEB-INF/lib.
- Would prevent developers from having to code using absolute filenames.
First of all, is a feature similar to what I'm suggesting available in
Tomcat? If not, what do you think of such a feature request?
Thanks.
