zip overlay for war project - items inside not visible....

[Maven User <ma...@gmail.com>]

Hi all -

I'm having an issue where a zip file containing shared js and css
components are overlaid to my war project - but they're NOT visible!

So in my source tree, I have:

src/main/webapp/js/foo.js

I'm overlaying several other js files and the resulting war also has:

webapp/js/foo.js
webapp/js/bar.js

Bar.js is NOT visible in the resulting war.

What am I doing wrong?

Not a bug...

jetty:run runs out of the source structure - and does NOT take into account
the overlays.

jetty:run-war runs out of the exploded war directory structure and DOES
take into account the overlays.

Uh - by "visible" I mean, I can see it when I run "jetty:run" and go to
that url.

In my example above, I can hit foo.js, but not bar.js - even when they are
right next to each other.

Doesn't matter if it's a zip or a war I'm using for the overlay, neither
work.  Has anyone see this or know of a bug?

Here's the doc for maven overlays:

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/overlays.html

To use a *zip* dependency as an overlay you have to configure it explicitly
in the plugin's configuration. For instance to inject the content of a zip
overlay in the scripts directory of the webapp, do as follows:

    ...
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.2</version>
        <configuration>
          <overlays>
            <overlay>
              <groupId>zipGroupId</groupId>
              <artifactId>zipArtifactId</artifactId>
              <type>zip</type>
              <targetPath>scripts</targetPath>
            </overlay>
          </overlays>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>

What does "visible" mean?
Are you sure you can overlay a war with a zip in the first place?
