I want to deploy an application into wildfly as war packaged using maven. The challenge i am facing is , i need to create a directory in the server and add my application's property file and a log4j property file into it. This must be automated using maven build.
First i need to know if this is possible to create a folder in server which is not the project home directory, but elsewhere using maven while deploying it ?
If so , how do i create it, and how to add the property files into it which is in my project resource folder.
Note: My deployment is automated through Jenkins.

I have a Maven Dynamic web project in Spring - I can run this in eclipse with a tomcat server and serve all my code a web page via localhost.
I am looking to create an executable which can be ran locally on a machine with no internet connection and when ran will serve the web project to a specified localhost URL.
If you have included an embedded server (like tomcat) as a dependency in you POM.xml file, then you have to Right Click on your Project -> Run as -> Maven Install. This will build a Maven Executable Jar file in the target folder of your Maven Application.
Take the Jar file and Run it from command line using
java -jar <jarfilename>.jar
After building project you will have <project_name>.war file created in target folder inside the project.
You should deploy it to a J2EE application server, like: Glassfish, JBoss Wildfly, etc.
I have created a spring project with maven and it works fine. I am trying to add a jar file to the project, eclipse does not give any errors but when i start the server and try to access to the page which uses a class from that jar file i get a classNotFound exception.
My steps are..
1 - I put the jar file in src->main->resources
2 - I added it to build path by right clicking and saying add to build path.
3 - I add the project to tomcat and start the server
The thing is i looked at the tomcat deployment directory and the .jar file appears in classes directory. When i take copy the file from classes to lib (which has libraries downloaded by maven) project works fine.
I have a maven based spring mvc project. I can build that project and run it via tomcat manually like this
mvn package -Dbuild.name=App1
mvn package -Dbuild.name=App2
mvn package -Dbuild.name=App3
and then can copy those generate war files App1.war, App2.war and App3.war into my tomcat folder and start it. It works fine.
Question is how to do the same using intelliJ IDEA?
I generated war files one by one by using Maven Project window and creating custom value for package goal. It generates .war files in target folder. But when I run it in Tomcat of intelliJ it only runs the application at root "/" address. For other addresses
/App2 -> 404
/App3 -> 404
You can have multiple artifacts created in IntelliJ IDEA and configured for deployment at the same time in the application server Run/Debug configuration, Deployment tab under different contexts.
Note that Deployment tab has a configuration to perform the deployment from the External source where you can specify the location of the war produced by Maven if you don't want to use artifacts for some reason.
I have a Maven project. It is successfully deploying the jar file. I also want it to deploy the contents of src/main/resources.
mvn deploy does not deploy the resources.
How can I make it do that?
I read about using the copy file task and other workaround methods, but I want to use Maven's default behavior for deploying, which I thought would include the resources.
The folder src/main/resources contains resources which will be packaged into the jar file which means in other words it is already deployed within the created jar file.
So I was following http://www.mkyong.com/jsf2/jsf-2-0-hello-world-example/ for a simple tutorial on how to use maven and jsf. I created a maven project by running mvn archetype:generate -Dfilter=org.apache:maven-archetype-webapp in my command prompt. Then I continued with the tutorial, I wound up creating all necessary files, but then when I got to the end, I realized I did have a server created. So I created one real quick, but when it came to the point of adding files to the server (from the add or remove dialog box), no projects or files showed up. I am not on my computer where the project is located so I can't copy/paste the .pom file in, but it looks practically exactly like the pom in the tutorial (only difference is groupId, artifact, ect.) No additional plugins, dependencies, or configs.
Do you want to deploy the webapp within Eclipse to Tomcat? Or as some sort of automatic/continuous deployment?
Within Eclipse you often need to add the Dynamic Web project and JSF facets to your project so Eclipse recognizes the project as deployment capable. If you are using m2eclipse make sure to install the m2eclipse wtp add on so this is done automatically.
If you want to add auto-deployment to the pom.xml I recommend using the maven cargo plugin: http://cargo.codehaus.org/Maven2+plugin - it supports the major containers.
For tomcat you need to modify the tomcat-users.xml to allow auto-deployment and leave the tomcat-manager application in place. If you have startet tomcat and pointing your browser to http://localhost:8080/manager/html/list it should either tell you to login or what to add to that file.
The configured user is then used in the configuration to deploy the war file via the tomcat-manager using the mvn cargo:deploy goal. The configuration has to be added to the pom.xml using war as packaging, not to the parent-pom.xml
