Hi Gintautas,

I went through the same struggle last year. Below are working configurations for a true war app built with maven.

Notes:

· The below configuration is for a wonder project (i.e. uses the ERXServletAdaptor, etc)

· Make sure you have a correctly templated Info.plist under your Resources directory

· If using maven to build the war, I suggest avoiding the WO/wonder plugins; they aren’t required and can be nettlesome.

If everything works correctly, you should be able to plop your war file into the webapps directory of a tomcat and watch it run.

Hope this helps,

Mike

<!-- This web.xml file by itself will allow you to run the corresponding

WebObjects application in a Servlet container. If you would like to

merge the WebObjects application with your existing JSP/Servlet

application, you have to merge this web.xml with your existing web.xml.

NOTE: This file is normally included as the template file 'web.xml.template'.

During the build process, the placeholders for WOROOT, LOCALROOT, WOAINSTALLROOT,

WOAppMode, WOClassPath, WOApplicationClass and WOtaglib will be replaced

with the appropriate values. Other parts of the template file may be

customized as required.

NOTE: WEBINFROOT is added to the WOClassPath at build time, but the replacement

value is replaced at runtime to be the path to the WEB-INF directory.

The default build.xml file (non-maven) you get with a new Wonder Application contains a war target. It should just work.

Hello all,

I am trying to build a true WebObjects WAR. Unfortunately, no luck so far.

Is this tutorial is still valid?

http://wiki.wocommunity.org/display/WOL/Packaging+WO+Applications+as+true+WAR+with+Maven

So now I have a maven project that builds my app.jar and packages it into a war (including ALL libraries).

Initial project was created with archetype plugin as woapplication with true war support.

Please, could you provide me with any hints what may went wrong. I would really appreciate more documentation on this.

I followed the steps closely and bumped into a few exception while deploying on JBOSS AS 1.7:
