Using cactus with maven
2011-12-20 11:36:25 GMT
Hello,
I know cactus have been moved to the Attic but my supervisor has given me the job to make he project work using this plugin with maven 3.0.3.
We are using Jenkins for CI and the idea is to run cactus from there (we already run junit tests as it’s possible to invoke top-level maven targets just writing the goals).
Right now I’m testing cactus with the project in which we run the junit tests (no worries, several VM’s and snapshots –and not touching the base project- just in case I screw something). But here are several thing I don’t really understand. I’ll only write some questions and, if I get any feedback will go on with the questions:
- I’m using “mvn cactus:cactifyear” as the idea is to create an EAR and get it deployed in Websphere using WAS6 plugin for maven. The thing is I don’t really understand what does cactifyear do or how it works. I have no idea what to use as srcfile. Here you have what I have in my pom.xml:
<project>
...
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.cactus</groupId>
<artifactId>cactus.integration.maven2</artifactId>
<version>1.8.1</version>
</dependency>
...
</dependencies>
....
<build>
...
<pluginManagement>
...
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.cactus</groupId>
<artifactId>cactus.integration.maven2</artifactId>
<version>1.8.1</version>
<configuration>
<srcFile>/PATH/TO/FILE/file.ear</srcFile>
<desttFile>cactifiedByMaven2.ear</destFile>
<cactusWar>
<context>/</context>
<version>2.3</version>
</cactusWar>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>cactus-cactifyear</id>
<phase>pre-integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>cactifyear</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
...
</pluginManagement>
...
</build>
...
</project>
For what is the /PATH/TO/FILE/file.ear used? I tried with one EAR in my project and got one cactifiedByMaven2.ear in each of the modules of my project plus one cactifiedByMaven2.ear and one empty folder named cactusAND_A_NUMBER.dir for each module in the project root directory. The output while running was something like this:

The srcfile is like a schema to create an EAR for each module?
