[Tomcat Plugin] WebAppSourceDirectory Configuration?
Hi,
Is it possible to configure the "WebAppSourceDirectory" in the Tomcat Plugin? I'm looking at the Jetty plugin documentation ( http://wiki.eclipse.org/Jetty/Feature/Jetty_Maven_Plugin ), and it seems it has a webAppSourceDirectory that is set to ${basedir}/src/main/webapp, which is the behaviour would like.
TIA,
- Ole

Maybe - But I'm using DWR to invoke methods on my application layer. I'm not going directly through a servlet. So now my code needs to get the servletContext, which is not a big deal, but it means adding code that's only there for the reason of testing the application layer. I'd rather change the resource paths between testing and production, than make the application more complex. Thanks for all the tips and trying though,

Hi,
I believe this forces me to change the location of the web apps data files. Right now they are located under WEB-INF/data/somedata.xml. So if I use a ContextClassLoader then I have to change the location of the files when the webapp is deployed in production right?
Thanks,
- Ole

Hello,
Why not simply put your resources in src/main/resources and load it
with Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(
path in classloader ) ?

Re: [Tomcat Plugin] WebAppSourceDirectory Configuration?
Posted by Ole Ersoy <ol...@gmail.com>.
Maybe if i explain what I'm trying to do, it will make more sense. I have a maven webapp project. I'm running it with:
mvn tomcat:run
When I run the webapp I would like to load resources from "WEB-INF/resources/...". When running a webapp in a standalone container "WEB-INF" is located in the "root" folder. However because I'm using maven to run the webapp, the "WEB-INF" folder is located under "src/main/webapp". Therefore if I want to test resource loading I need to add "src/main/webapp" to the path of the resource when running with:
mvn tomcat:run.
So for example running with "mvn tomcat:run" I have to load myresource.xml like this:
application.load("src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/resources/myresource.xml");
However when deploying in a standalone container the same resource would be loaded like this:
application.load("WEB-INF/resources/theresource.xml");
I'm trying to avoid having to change my application configuration for testing in a standalone container and testing with:
mvn tomcat:run
Does that make sense?
Thanks,
- Ole

you should read current root webapp directory in the servlet container.
this means if you go with your browser to http://localhost:${port}/
you will see files from this directory.

I'm running the tomcat plugin configured as follows:
>> <plugin>
>> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
>> <artifactId>tomcat-maven-plugin</artifactId>
>> <configuration>
>> <warSourceDirectory>${basedir}/src/main/webapp</warSourceDirectory>
>> </configuration>
>> </plugin>
If I run the following line from a servlet the application is running:
logger.trace("The current root directory is: {} ", new File("").getAbsolutePath());
I would expect to see "The current root directory is: ${basedir}/src/main/webapp". However the result is:
"The current root directory is: ${basedir}". In other words it seems the <warSourceDirectory> configuration has not taken effect.
Thoughts? TIA,

I don't follow you here.
You are running the plugin or doing something within a home made plugin ?

Hi,
I tried the following:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<warSourceDirectory>${basedir}/src/main/webapp</warSourceDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
However when I run the following from my code:
logger.trace("The current root directory is: {} ", new File("").getAbsolutePath());
I still get the root directory of the project. Thoughts?
TIA,
