Using a WAR as a dependency

Hello,

I'm working on a multi-module web project and I find myself in a situation where I need the web-app packaged as both a jar and a war.

My project consists of:
 * parent module
 * integration-tests module
 * web-app module

I'm trying to set it up so that when I run "mvn:install" (from the root pom) it will install the webapp into the local repo as a war, and then the integration test module can both use classes from the webapp for tests, and also use the war to actually start up a jetty (using cargo) for testing.

My problem is that I have the webapp packaged as a war but when I try to run any test the testing module it can't find definitions for any of the classes in the webapp. In my testing pom.xml I have:

		<dependency>
		  <groupId>com.mycompany.app</groupId>
		  <artifactId>web-app</artifactId>
		  <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
	    	  <type>war</type>
	          <scope>runtime</scope>
		</dependency>

Am I setting this up correctly?

- Mike

You can configure the plugin to build and deploy your war's jar file
as a classifier

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

pay attention to "attachClasses" param

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/war-mojo.html#attachClasses
