Deploying war to 2 different containers at the same time
I use maven to build my web application (war). I have two tomcat
installations: unit test installation, which has a datasource that points to
unit test db (this db gets predefined data populated by dbUnit), and
development installation, which uses development database.
In my build I want to first run junit tests, then integration tests using
"unit test" tomcat, and then deploy the same war to the development tomcat.
What kind of setup should I use for this type of deployment? I have tried to
use cargo for deploying to the servers, but can't figure out how to make it
deploy to two places at the same time. I could even copy the wars manually,
but cannot find how I am supposed to be able to move a file from A to B
Maven? Seems like I am spending days finding out how to do simple things
like copying a file, things that I could have done in a few minutes using
ant </rant>
At the moment, I have this kind of config in my pom.xml (yuck, not pretty):
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId>
<artifactId>cargo-maven2-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.3</version>
<configuration>
<wait>${cargo.wait}</wait>
<container>
<containerId>${cargo.container}</containerId>
<home>${cargo.container.home}</home>
</container>
<configuration>
<type>existing</type>
<home>${cargo.container.home}</home>
</configuration>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>deploy</id>
<phase>pre-integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>deploy</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<!-- additional plugin to copy also to second server -->
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>pre-integration-test</phase>

Re: Deploying war to 2 different containers at the same time
Posted by jimpo <ja...@gofore.com>.
What do you mean by "if you really have to..."? Am I not supposed to be
testing and deploying the latest version? What I have used so far is, I run
mvn install and myapp-webapp-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war gets deployed to both servers.
What is the "best practise" for this?
Would you have any pom.xml examples for "create a deployer" and "using real
war as underlay"?

perhaps you should think about this differently... create a deployer for
tomcat that looks at your repository and deploys the latest release or if you
_really_ have to the latest snapshots...
i have found that using cargo is much better if I use the real war as
an 'underlay' which the test war gets overlayed onto... - see dependencies on
wars somewhere around - that way i can build a real application and overwrite
a few things for testing in my container of choice

Then use ant, seriously.
The maven-antrun-plugin is designed for those cases where maven plugins
don't go far enough, or aren't find grained enough to do the job required.
We use a short ant script to build Matlab code, and another ant script to
build C++ code[1], and these are wrapped into our maven build process by
being triggered by the antrun plugin.
Ant and maven work very well together.
[1] We needed a way to build C++ code cross-platform, and the various
maven plugins wanted us to choose a single platform. Ant to the rescue.
Regards,
Graham

Amen to that. I've gotten so frustrated at the lack of basic file support
that I've written my own plugin for such elementary goals as
file:create
file:mkdir
file:copy
file:move
file:append
file:delete
file:rmdir
