I would like to change the way web.xml is created, something like this:

1. create an empty <web-app/> xml descriptor
2. for each applications, merge in web/WEB-INF/web.xml.part (if it exists)
3. merge in the web.xml defined in project.xml

There are helper classes around... e.g.

http://cargo.codehaus.org/maven-site/cargo-core/cargo-core-api/cargo-core-api-mo
dule/apidocs/org/codehaus/cargo/module/webapp/WebXmlMerger.html

I've seen this done with liferay but not sure how it handles conflicts, e.g.
define the same servlet twice with different implementations.

Any thoughts?

Terry

Hi Terry,

such a function is on my wishlist for the new user installation tool, because
we should emphasize the modular system architecture. Unfortunately, I have no
ideas how to do it. Your provided link sounds promising.

Would be great if could create a plan how to implement it.


Peter

I have implemented this change in r1943 using some code borrowed from Liferay
(see tools-ng/webxml/lib/*.jar).

>From now on...

1. Any module can have a web.xml fragment called
<module>/web/WEB-INF/web.<module>.xml
2. During 'ant deploy', these fragments are merged into (over) the default web.xml
specified in project.xml
3. Unless you need something non-standard, the default web.xml is now an empty
web.xml file (called web.empty.xml) instead of web.xml-aplaws

Notes:

1. I chose to name the fragments web.<module>.xml so that they open in Eclipse
as an XML file and are validated
2. All web.xml fragments now comply with Servlet 2.4 specification (previously
2.3) since ecdc uses Tomcat 6
3. Merging seems to handle duplicate entries correctly, e.g. if you declare
the same servlet twice, the second file merged in replaces the first one. (Thanks,
Liferay!)

Enjoy! I hope there are no problems.

Terry

Terry,

many thanks for that! From a short look on the patch I conclude that the logik
is in javascript? So we have some task to do to port it to the hostinit java
code for the user installation & maintenance tool? Or we have to discard
hostinit.java and re-implement it as an ant task?

Peter
