M2 - Including custom application.xml in EAR file

Hi all,

Since Maven 2.0 doesn't support application.xml generation for the J2EE 1.2 specification (I understand, this is 2006 after all), I'm trying to include a custom-built application.xml file in my EAR but with no success.

I'm using a project with multiple modules following a flat directory structure.  The EAR module contains both pom.xml file and application.xml (custom-built) files.  Executing "mvn package" produces the following error message:

[INFO] Including custom application.xml[application.xml]
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Error copying EAR sources

Embedded error: File application.xml does not exist

My pom.xml in the EAR project contains the following configuration:

  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <applicationXml>application.xml</applicationXml>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>

What am I doing wrong?  Where should I place my application.xml file, and using what path should I reference it in the pom.xml?  Is this at all necessary - is there support for the 1.2 spec now?

Thanks a bunch,
GB

Hi GB,

Here's how my EAR is configured; the application.xml is properly included.

File located here:
ProjectEAR\src\main\resources\META-INF\application.xml

pom.xml:
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <archive>
            <manifest>
              <addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
            </manifest>
          </archive>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>

Give that a try.

Wayne
