profiles / ear content . how to do this?

[Marco Mistroni <mm...@gmail.com>]

hi all,
  i have a usecase in which i have to deploy an ear..
if the .ear is set to production, i have to include modules 1, 2 and 3
if the .ear is set to test/qa, i have to include modules 1,2,3,4

i was wondering if having profiles could help....but i fail to see how to
achieve
to include only certain modules in an .ear, unless i provide myself the
application.xml for thte two
different configurations

has anyone any idea / tips on how to do it properly?

thanks in advance and regards
 marco

I did this on a previous project like this :-

EAR pom.xml

<webModule>
	<groupId>mygroup</groupId>
	<artifactId>myartifact</artifactId>
	<contextRoot>/myroot</contextRoot>
	<bundleFileName>name</bundleFileName>
	<excluded>${myartifact.optional.war.excluded}</excluded>
</webModule>

then either in the parent pom.xml or in settings.xml you can define a
property with a different setting per profile e.g.

<profile>
	<id>env_dev</id>
	<activation>
		<activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
	</activation>
	<properties>
		<profile.name>env_dev</profile.name>
		<myartifact.optional.war.excluded>false</myartifact.optional.war.excluded>		
	</properties>
</profile>
<profile>
	<id>env_live</id>
	<properties>
		<profile.name>env_live</profile.name>
		<myartifact.optional.war.excluded>true</myartifact.optional.war.excluded>
	</properties>
</profile>

this also works for EAR <javaModule> and <ejbModule>

The ear plugin configuration to generate the application.xml can be
different per profile.
