[jira] Commented: (MWAR-193) Plugin does not handle Axis2 MAR files

["Paulo Silva (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-193?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=269756#action_269756 ] 

Paulo Silva commented on MWAR-193:
----------------------------------

I did some testing and I found a problem when we have a webapp that uses axis2 at client side + server side. If you deploy the mar files to WEB-INF/modules/ only the server side will work. But if you instead deploy them to WEB-INF/lib/ then both sides will work (client side + server side). I did this test with axis2 v1.5.

To solve this problem I had to patch ArtifactsPackagingTask.java to force the deployement of mar files to WEB-INF/lib/.
I think it would be a good pattern to always deploy artifact dependencies to the lib folder... Maybe there are a few exceptions, but I don't think axis2 mar files are one of them... And IMHO those kind of exceptions should be handled by configuration, when needed.

Can anyone check this out?

Thanks in advance.

> When adding a dependency on (for example) Axis2 addressing module (addressing-1.41.mar), the war plugin will not place this into the final WAR file (in WEB-INF/modules).  For Axis2 AAR files, this does work however (it is placed in WEB-INF/services), which seem to point to a small inconsistency.
> This is the debug output from the plugin (validation in ArtifactsPackagingTask class):
> [DEBUG] Processing: addressing-1.41.mar
> [DEBUG] Artifact of type[mar] is not supported, ignoring[org.apache.axis2:addressing:mar:1.41:runtime]
