dependency of jar included in war?

[Attila Ravai <at...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I have a war file which has a dependency on my project, which is a jar. The jar file itself has a lot of dependencies (like oracle classes.jar). When building the war file, all I get in the web-inf/lib is what I specified in the war dependency, which is myproject.jar. However the classes.jar it never is added to the war, so when trying to load the app, I get an classnotfound exception.

Is there a way to have the war include the jar files dependencies? I would hate to duplicate the dependencies in the war pom. I cannot create a parent module, as they are two different projects.

thanks
Atti

Hi Atti,

currently a WAR does not participate in the dependency inheritance 
mechanism. What you could do since your WAR depends on a single JAR is 
to add the JAR as additional dependency.

This is of course a hack but not too ugly.

Cheers,
