Packaging dictionary resources as part of maven war file deployment

[Jay Urbain <ja...@gmail.com>]

I've downloaded the ctakes-temporal-demo web app (Ctakes 4.0), created a
maven project
in Eclipse, and have successfully deployed it to a Jetty server from within
Eclipse.

However, when I build a maven war file within Eclipse and deploy it to the
webapps directory of the same Jetty installation, the application fails to
load
because the analysis engine is unable to locate the dictionary resources
(please
see exception listed below). I'm assuming I have a class path issue to the
resources.

I've compared the Jetty Web App run configuration (for deployment to Jetty
within Eclipse) and the build Maven war configuration and have not been
able to identify what's different.

Any guidance as to package the resources properly within a war file to be
deployed
to a web server would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jay
