Deploying war from dependency with tomcat7-maven-plugin
Hello all,
I'm trying to use the tomcat7-maven-plugin, specifically running the *mvn
tomcat7:run* command.
However, in my case I have two requirements that are different than the
documentation provides for and I'm wondering if it is possible with the
current tomcat7-maven-plugin.
1. need to deploy several jars to the global tomcat classpath (i.e. same as
copying them into <tomcat.home>/lib/ext/ folder in a standalone install).
2. need to deploy a war to the ROOT context but instead of packaging the
current project from source, I just need to point to an existing WAR as a
dependency.
So in my project there will be no webapp source. I simply want to run a
tomcat with some extra jars in /lib/ext/ directory and also deploy a war
that is obtained via a <dependency> with war type instead of packaged from
source.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks Olivier,
I was able to use your examples and specifying the dependencies manually
and got it work nicely. So I just put Liferay portal web war package into
my webapps section and also enumerated all the dependencies that need to be
available to Embedded tomcat and it worked! For anyone interested here it
is: https://gist.github.com/gamerson/6510740

for 1) your jars must be in the plugin dependencies section (see jdbc
driver here http://tomcat.apache.org/maven-plugin-trunk/run-mojo-features.html
)
for 2) I understand you simply want to run a war (and maybe run unit
tests) so unpacking with the dependency looks to be the solution.

Hi Greg,
Your requirement is quite interesting and I am looking forward some fine
recommendation from our users.

Hi,
I don't know if it could answer your question but I think I do
something similar for integration testing.
First to add jar to embedded tomcat used by by the plugin, Ideclare
those Jar as dependencies for the plugin.
Then to add a different war I use the dependency plugin to unzip the
war in the current project build directory and then use the tomcat
plugin to launch it :
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>unzip-webapp</id>
<phase>pre-integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>unpack</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<artifactItems>
<artifactItem>
<groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
<artifactId>${artifact-to-import}</artifactId>
<version>${project.version}</version>
<type>war</type>
</artifactItem>
</artifactItems>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/webapp</outputDirectory>
<overWriteSnapshots>true</overWriteSnapshots>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>tomcat-run</id>
<goals>
<goal>run-war-only</goal>
</goals>
<phase>pre-integration-test</phase>
<configuration>
<path>/</path>
<port>8080</port>
<uriEncoding>UTF-8</uriEncoding>
<warDirectory>${project.build.directory}/webapp/</warDirectory>
<fork>true</fork>
<ignorePackaging>true</ignorePackaging>
<contextFile>${project.build.directory}/webapp/META-INF/context.xml</contextFile>
</configuration>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>tomcat-shutdown</id>
<goals>
<goal>shutdown</goal>
</goals>
<phase>post-integration-test</phase>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
