             Summary: create configuration to specify the name of the deployed directory
                 Key: MTOMCAT-293
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MTOMCAT-293
             Project: Apache Tomcat Maven Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: commons-lib
    Affects Versions: 2.2
            Reporter: Constantino Cronemberger
            Assignee: Olivier Lamy (*$^¨%`£)
            Priority: Minor


I am working in a system that has an Ajax application that can be deployed to multiple environments (dev, uat and prod), and we have the requirement that the same war is deployed to all environments.
We also have few configuration parameters we are packaging with maven-assembly-plugin, so when we build the project it generates a main war plus a few zip files, one for each environment.

I am configuring the backend project to run with tomcat7-maven-plugin, and have configured it to run the frontend module by adding it to the <webapps> section.

This is where the problem starts: both the main war and the zip file with the configuration have the same artifact id, and what happens at the end is that only the first one gets deployed. 

I have already tried to specify a different contextPath but it still creates the directories based on the artifact id.

I foresee few possible solutions: 

1 - add a new parameter to specify the directory name
2 - append the classifier to the artifactId to generate the directory name
3 - create the directory name based on the contextPath rather than on the artifactId

Here is the configuration I am using:

<webapps>
	<!-- dev configuration -->
	<webapp>
		<groupId>xxx.yyy</groupId>
		<artifactId>my_module_ui</artifactId>
		<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
		<type>war</type>
		<classifier>dev</classifier>
		<asWebapp>true</asWebapp>
		<contextPath>/config</contextPath>
	</webapp>
	<webapp>
		<groupId>xxx.yyy</groupId>
		<artifactId>my_module_ui</artifactId>
		<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
		<type>war</type>
		<asWebapp>true</asWebapp>
	</webapp>
</webapps>
