how to avoid sertin libs in war

[karan rajanayagam]

Hello,

I have a case that my web-server(jboss) allready have sertian libs that dont need to be included (hibernate-annotations) in the war archive.

1. So in the pom.xml i set scope to provided on hibernate-annotations, but this does not help., all the libs comes in WEB-INF/libs
2. I tried to use assembly plugins with format war, but then the war file contains the orginal-war(with all dependency) and correct dependency libs are copied in the root-folder(not the speficied folder (WEB-INF/lib))-> so this not help either., (i tried to use )


The beste way is when i can specify a profile, for eks., jboss-build and then build correct war archive without hibernate libs...

can anybody that have any solutions plz help..

Using an assembly is fine, but in this case may be unnecessary.

First, you need to identify which dependency is requiring the library you are trying to exclude.

You can do this using: 

mvn dependency:tree

The output is an ascii-art style tree which shows all the artifacts in your project.  Once you identify the artifact that is forcing the dependency you can add a dependency exclusion in the <dependency> for that artifact.

For example: 

<dependency>

   <groupId>some-hibernate-dependee.group</groupId>

   <artifactId>some-hibernate-dependee.artifact</artifactId>

   <version>2.5.3</version>

   <scope>compile</scope>

   <exclusions>

      <exclusion>

         <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>

         <artifactId>hibernate-annotations</artifactId>

      </exclusion>

   </exclusions>

</dependency>

Hope that helps.

Hello Karan,
your first solution (scope provided) should work. Here a link to the manuals (last paragraph):
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/examples/war-manifest-guide.html

  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.foo</groupId>
      <artifactId>bar-jar1</artifactId>
      <version>${pom.version}</version>
      <optional>true</optional>
      <!-- goes in manifest classpath, but not included in WEB-INF/lib -->
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.foo</groupId>
      <artifactId>bar-jar2</artifactId>
      <version>${pom.version}</version>
      <!-- goes in manifest classpath, AND included in WEB-INF/lib -->
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.foo</groupId>
      <artifactId>bar-jar3</artifactId>
      <version>${pom.version}</version>
      <scope>provided</scope>
      <!-- excluded from manifest classpath, and excluded from WEB-INF/lib -->
    </dependency>
    ...
  </dependencies>

Try again with scope provided. Have you done a 'mvn clean' before testing your first solution to get rid of caching effects?
Use 'mvn dependency:tree' to check the dependencies and their writings.

Hi Brandon & Gerd!

Thank you for yours replaies..

I can do that but there should be possible to build war archive for sertin different web-servers., in my case the web-server that i run have allready
thease libs so i had to exclude, its not the best solution when you have to comment out for some dependency to build a war for jboss and the edit pom file
to make war for another server..

I think using different profiles may help.. one for jetty and one for jboss(without excludes on hibernate jars). and i also ended up divideding my war-pom to two different one jar-pom and war-pom so that i didnt have any
source code in war-pom.

Karan
