how to copy resources while building war

[AK <va...@gmail.com>]

Hi, I have a multimodule project, all modules' config properties are  
stored within each module's directory. For example, kernel module has its  
props in kernel/config folder.
I have a web module, which uses all other modules, and all their  
properties must be stored within web-inf folder as this web module  
references them. If I make kernel/config a resource folder, config will be  
put inside kernel.jar, and won't be available for web app. So I have to  
copy the configs manually, which is annoying.
How can I make maven copy the needed resources while creating war file  
(while compiling web app sources)?

Hi,

Why is having your property files inside the jar annoying? You can easily
access them, and if they relates only to a single module - which seems to be
the cas, since they are stored within each of your modules - it's quite
consistent to get them in this module's jar.
And if configuration doesn't relate to a single module, storing them inside
your webapp module would sound more consistent.

So maybe if you could precise why you want these property files within each
of your modules, and then stored in your WEB-INF folder, we could find
another solution...

I think you should take a look at webResources of the WAR
plugin<http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/examples/adding-filtering-webresources.html>
.

Hi,

I had a similar problem and solved it by packaging the submodule
resources as a war file too. Next, let the war plugin overlay that war
with the top-level war file.
In my case the "submodule" is included by dependency and I had to add a
<type>war</type> to the dependency tag to make that work. I'm not shure
about how to do the overlaying thing with a real module.

Happy compiling
Max
