Using custom assembly descriptor

[olip]

Hi everyone!
Maybe you can help me out with this.

I want to build a executable jar file which must contain a war file within (because I have included a jetty server runner in it). Problem is if I use the predefined assembly descriptor to build it:
<descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef> in my main pom

the war file will not get copied into it.

If I write my own descriptor e.g.:
-------
<assembly>
  <id>jar-with-all-dependencies</id>
  <formats>
    <format>jar</format>
  </formats>
  <includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>
  <dependencySets>
    <dependencySet>
        <unpack>true</unpack>
        <scope>runtime</scope>

        <unpackOptions>
            <excludes>
                <!--this doesnt work 100%....war file gets unpacked all the time in the jar too...i dont know why-->
                <exclude>*:war</exclude>
            </excludes>
        </unpackOptions>

    </dependencySet>

      <dependencySet>
          <unpack>false</unpack>
        <scope>runtime</scope>
            <includes>
              <include>*:war:*</include>

            </includes>
      </dependencySet>


  </dependencySets>
  <fileSets>
    <fileSet>
      <directory>${project.build.outputDirectory}</directory>
    </fileSet>
  </fileSets>
</assembly>

------
the war file gets included but if I try to run the jar it cant find the main class so if I extract it the directory structure is messed up e.g.   executable class is not in root folder but in target/classes

Also if I use the standard jar-with-dependencies descriptor code seen here:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/descriptor-refs.html

which is:
------
<assembly>
  <id>jar-with-dependencies</id>
  <formats>
    <format>jar</format>
  </formats>
  <includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>
  <dependencySets>
    <dependencySet>
      <unpack>true</unpack>
      <scope>runtime</scope>
    </dependencySet>
  </dependencySets>
  <fileSets>
    <fileSet>
      <directory>${project.build.outputDirectory}</directory>
    </fileSet>
  </fileSets>
</assembly>
-----

it cant find the main class also it should be the same result as just using
 <descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>

in my main pom.

I am using maven2.

Thank you for your help

This will give you an executable war file, i.e.

java -jar foo.war

hi

I did lioke stephenconnolly suggested (see under for the details or the
previous mail in the thread), but my java -jar foo.war gives me :
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: boot/JettyMain
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: boot.JettyMain
        at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200)
        at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
        at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:188)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:307)
        at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:301)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:252)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:320)
Could not find the main class: boot.JettyMain. Program will exit.

My manifest says Main-Class: boot.JettyMain and this main class is to be
found under /WEB-INF/classes/boot/JettyMain.class.

Any suggestion on how to resolve this ?

thanks in advance

Is the boot class in the jetty dependency?

If so, add the dependency to the dependency plugin section as well.

Then, ensure the jar gets included into your war.

No, it's in the generated class of the war, under /WEB-INF/classes/boot/

But I'm going to try with a separate jar...

I did so, I chacked that the jar is present in my war but I still have the
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

thanks still

I'll see if I can share a bit more specific code...

First you want a jetty-helper module.  This will depend on all the
jetty jars and have the jetty main class:

you then add your jetty.Main class, and optionally your JSVC commons
daemon class to this module

Then you have your web app as normal

Then you have another module to give you the executable war file.  You
may be able to optimize this... I have not tried as I need a
non-executable war file as well as an executable war file...

here's the pom for the executable war file... it has no src directory

With pleasure !

I've in fact a "standard" web application, done through eclipse  with
m2eclipse.

I've a launcher done this way (which I put in the src/main/java for
packaging purposes) :
package boot;



import org.mortbay.jetty.Connector;

import org.mortbay.jetty.Server;

import org.mortbay.jetty.bio.SocketConnector;

import org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext;



public class JettyMain

{

    public static void main(final String[] args) throws Exception

    {

        Server server = new Server();

        SocketConnector connector = new SocketConnector();



        // Set some timeout options to make debugging easier.

        connector.setMaxIdleTime(1000 * 60 * 60);

        connector.setSoLingerTime(-1);

        connector.setPort(8080);

        server.setConnectors(new Connector[]

        { connector });



        WebAppContext bb = new WebAppContext();

        bb.setServer(server);

        bb.setContextPath("/");
 // TODO : update once picked up
        bb.setWar("");



        // START JMX SERVER

        // MBeanServer mBeanServer =
ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer();

        // MBeanContainer mBeanContainer = new MBeanContainer(mBeanServer);

        // server.getContainer().addEventListener(mBeanContainer);

        // mBeanContainer.start();



        server.addHandler(bb);



        try

        {

            System.out.println(">>> STARTING EMBEDDED JETTY SERVER, PRESS
ANY KEY TO STOP");

            server.start();

            System.in.read();

            System.out.println(">>> STOPPING EMBEDDED JETTY SERVER");

            while (System.in.available() == 0)

            {

                Thread.sleep(5000);

            }

            server.stop();

            server.join();

        }

        catch (Exception e)

        {

            e.printStackTrace();

        }

    }

}


From eclipse, running this class as a Java application nicely starts my
application. I would like to able to package this application in a
standalone jar using jetty to run. Something which would be started through
java -jar file.war (file.jar would be fine as well lol). And that's where I
struggle.

Having found this thread, I used the sample maven config given above this
way :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"
         xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

    <groupId>____</groupId>
    <artifactId>____</artifactId>
    <packaging>war</packaging>

    <dependencies>
       <!-- your dependencies... don't forget jetty  -->
    </dependencies>

    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                    <archive>
                        <manifest>
                            <mainClass>boot.JettyMain</mainClass>
                        </manifest>
                    </archive>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
            <plugin>
                <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <phase>generate-resources</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>unpack-dependencies</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <configuration>
                            <includeTypes>jar</includeTypes>

<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}</outputDirectory>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
</project>

I then do mvn clean install, then cd target then java -jar mywar.war
Since I've tried to put the boot package in a separate project but it
doesn't help
