Stephane Nicoll commented on MEAR-29:
-------------------------------------

which portlet container are you using? This problem sounds weird to me and is maybe a limitation of the container you are using.

> The maven-EAR-module generates an application.xml of the following form:
> <application>
>   <display-name>Thierry Portlet</display-name>
>   <description>JBOSS portlet</description>
>   <module>
>     <web>
>       <web-uri> JBPortlet1-war-1.0.war</web-uri>
>       <context-root>/portlet</context-root>            <<< I would like to remove automatically this line
>     </web>
>   </module>
> </application>
> The problem is:
> In case of a portlet deployment, the <context-root> element must be omitted, or the application server reject the EAR package.
> There is no way today to disable <context-root> generation in application.xml
> If i comment / remove the <contextroot> line in the POM file , it takes the WAR filename as context-root in the application.xml
> I would like to remove automatically the <context-root> line.
> what could be the strategy?
> =>a <noContextRoot> tag added to the ear plugin config
> <webModule>
> 		<groupId>tutorials</groupId>
> 		<artifactId>JBPortlet1-war</artifactId>
> 		<noContextRoot/>
> </webModule>
> =>a way to specify that application-xml has to be generated regarding portlet constraints? (<isPortlet> property)
> <webModule>
> 		<groupId>tutorials</groupId>
> 		<artifactId>JBPortlet1-war</artifactId>
> 		<isPortlet>true</isPortlet>
