Install war file in server deployment directory

I want the war file to be deployed to the server deployment directory (or any other directory of my choice) along with the one deployed to the repository. Also, can I control the name of the war file deployed as, I don't want the war file to be projectname-1.0.war. I just need the war file name to be projectname.war.

Thank,

Ravi

Thanks guys,

I got it working. here's what i did.

I added this to my pom.xml file

<build>
<plugins>
    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
            <warName>mavenproject1</warName>
            <outputDirectory>C:\jboss-5.1.0.GA\server\default\deploy</outputDirectory>
        </configuration>
    </plugin>

</plugins>


This solved both my naming and war file placement.

The first option would be to use the JBoss Maven Plugin which allows you to start / stop JBoss and deploy / deploy applications via JMX.

Your config should set a location in your JBoss Home directory. This can be done by setting the tagged home directory jbossHome

in the plugin config:

<project>
  ...
  <build>
    <defaultGoal>package</defaultGoal>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
        <artifactId>jboss-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <jbossHome>C:/jboss-5.1.0.GA</jbossHome>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
      ...
    </plugins>
    ...
  </build>
  ...
</project>

Then just use one of the specified targets here , for example:

$ mvn jboss:deploy


Another option would be to use the Cargo Maven Plugin . Below is an example of a plugin configuration that you can add to your war project:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId>
  <artifactId>cargo-maven2-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <wait>false</wait>
    <container>
      <containerId>jboss5x</containerId>
      <home>C:/jboss-5.1.0.GA</home>
    </container>

    <configuration>
      <type>existing</type>
      <properties>
        ...
      </properties>
    </configuration>
  </configuration>
<plugin>

Then, to deploy " deployable " (your war here) to a running container:

$ mvn cargo:deploy

"Deploy" may sound very technical, but it is easy to copy it into the deployment directory. In some cases, you may need to restart the server.

To change how the file is deployed, use a tag in the build section of your pom.xml to specify the package name.
