Maven. Deploy to glassfish with modules - maven

Question

Good day.
I use 'mvn clear package glassfish:deploy' from cmd for deploy. It's ok for app that includes only project. But with child modules i have some troubles with deploy.
This command gives me this error:
[Error] remote failure: File not found : [here project path]\target\test2.war
[Error] Deployment of [here project path]\target\test2.war failed
How to fix this?

Answer 1

The problem is with below code in your parent pom.xml
<components>
<component>
<name>${project.artifactId}</name>
<artifact>target/${project.build.finalName}.war</artifact>
</component>
</components>
Your parent pom is basically producing an artifact with type pom.
The <artifact>target/${project.build.finalName}.war</artifact> is trying to deploy a file with the name test2.war because ${project.build.finalName}.war to the string "test2.war". But test2.war is not present in the target directory. The file that is present in the target directory is test2.pom. Hence you are getting the error.
There can be two ways for deploying your artifacts.
The first approach: If you want to deploy the child modules from within the parent modules then you need to have the below code for the glashfish plugin in your parent pom.
<components>
<component>
<artifact>path-to-your-child1-module</artifact> // something like ../child1/target/child1.war
</component>
<component>
<artifact>path-to-your-child2-module</artifact> // something like ../child2/target/child2.war
</component>
</components>
The second approach (which i think is better) would be to move your maven glassfish plugin from the parent module to the child module.
Replace the maven glassfish plugin code in your child poms with the one shown below.
For child1 pom.xml :
<plugin>
<groupId>org.glassfish.maven.plugin</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-glassfish-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1</version>
<configuration>
<glassfishDirectory>${local.glassfish.home}</glassfishDirectory>
<user>admin</user>
<passwordFile>${local.glassfish.passfile}</passwordFile>
<domain>
<name>domain1</name>
<httpPort>8080</httpPort>
<adminPort>4848</adminPort>
</domain>
<components>
<component>
<name>${project.artifactId}</name>
<artifact>target/${project.build.finalName}.war</artifact>
</component>
</components>
<debug>true</debug>
<terse>false</terse>
<echo>true</echo>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
<finalName>child1</finalName>
</build>
For child 2 pom.xml:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.glassfish.maven.plugin</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-glassfish-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1</version>
<configuration>
<glassfishDirectory>${local.glassfish.home}</glassfishDirectory>
<user>admin</user>
<passwordFile>${local.glassfish.passfile}</passwordFile>
<domain>
<name>domain1</name>
<httpPort>8080</httpPort>
<adminPort>4848</adminPort>
</domain>
<components>
<component>
<name>${project.artifactId}</name>
<artifact>target/${project.build.finalName}.war</artifact>
</component>
</components>
<debug>true</debug>
<terse>false</terse>
<echo>true</echo>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
<finalName>child2</finalName>
</build>
Don't forget to remove the maven glassfish plugin code from your parent pom.

Answer 2

Try to move the glassfish-maven-plugin under build -> pluginManagement under your parent pom:
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.glassfish.maven.plugin</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-glassfish-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1</version>
<configuration>
<glassfishDirectory>${local.glassfish.home}</glassfishDirectory>
<user>${local.glassfish.user}</user>
<passwordFile>${local.glassfish.passfile}</passwordFile>
<domain>
<name>${local.glassfish.domain}</name>
<httpPort>${local.glassfish.httpport}</httpPort>
<adminPort>${local.glassfish.adminport}</adminPort>
</domain>
<components>
<component>
<name>${project.name}</name>
<artifact>target/${project.name}-${project.version}.war</artifact>
</component>
</components>
<debug>true</debug>
<terse>false</terse>
<echo>true</echo>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
Then inside each of your child poms, add this plugin invocation:
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.glassfish.maven.plugin</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-glassfish-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
</plugins>
