Deploy Java EE Wildfly REST Application to Openshift - maven

I am new to Openshift and having trouble with deploying my Java EE project to it. I have made REST API for a simple webstore. Locally it works fine on Wildfly 9.0.2 I want to deploy it on openshift. I 've made new wildfly9 + mysql5.5 application using eclipse openshit jboss plugin and added a profile to root pom.xml:
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>openshift</id>
<build>
<finalName>webstore</finalName>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.3</version>
<configuration>
<failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml>
<outputDirectory>deployments</outputDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</profile>
</profiles>
My root project consist of several maven modules including store-ear (EAR), store-jpa (JAR), store-rest (WAR), store-web (WAR), store-services (EJB), store-rest-interfaces (JAR),store-service-interfaces (JAR).
I have changed datasourse in JPA configuration (persistence.xml) to use MysqlDB on Openshift.
After pushing back to openshift the build is succesfull, but when it gets deployed it is missing some dependancies (ClassNotFoundException), and fails to deploy main war file.

You use a maven-war plugin in your openshift maven profile.
But you say that your project is packaged as en ear. So you should probably deploy this ear which contains all your project modules (wars, ejbs, libs...) instead of a specific war of your project.
To achieve this, you have to use a maven-ear plugin instead of the maven-war one in your openshift profile which would look like this:
<profile>
<id>openshift</id>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.10</version>
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>deployments</outputDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</profile>

Google Cloud SDK App-Engine project priority

To deploy my app I use this in bash:
mvn appengine:deploy -Dproject=projectname1
This is my pom.xml:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>com.google.cloud.tools</groupId>
<artifactId>appengine-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.3.1</version>
<configuration>
<project>projectname2</project>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
At the moment, my app is deployed in projectname2 while I want it to ignore pom's project configuration and give priority on the sh one.
I red the Cloud SDK documentation but I didn't notice how to do.
I need this to choose where Jenkins will deploy the app on, regardless the pom's plugin setting.

using spring-boot-maven-plugin with exec classifier, but can't run the app from IDE anymore

I am working on Spring Boot 1.5.9 application, and I am generating a jar that contains a Spring Boot application, but that can also be imported as part of another project.
Therefore, I am using below config to generate 2 jars : the exec, and the regular lib ones.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<classifier>exec</classifier>
</configuration>
</plugin>
However, now that I have this, I am not able to run the application from my IDE (Intellij) anymore, as it's not finding the application.yml.
I am sure there's a trick, but I can't find anything.. Any idea ?
I ended up using Maven profiles :
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>makeRelease</id>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<classifier>exec</classifier>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</profile>
</profiles>
When I make the release, I am calling this profile (maven with argument -P makeRelease) so that it generates the 2 jars.
The rest of the time, the regular behavior applies.

How to deploy Spring Boot application to different URL on Tomcat?

I am building and deploying my Spring Boot application into Tomcat with mvn tomcat:deploy and with this configuration:
<build>
<finalName>${project.artifactId}</finalName>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<configuration>
<url>http://127.0.0.1:8080/manager/text</url>
<server>tomcat</server>
<path>/${project.build.finalName}</path>
<username>admin</username>
<password>password</password>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Application runs then at /${project.artifactId}. I would like to deploy the application to the another URL, ideally to set target URL while I call Maven deploy command. Is it possible? If so, how can I achieve it?
You can override maven properties from command line with -D option.
To specify another url for your app the interesting properties are maven.tomcat.port and maven.tomcat.path.
The following command line should do the trick :
mvn -Dmaven.tomcat.port=8181 -Dmaven.tomcat.path=/custom tomcat:deploy

Intellij IDEA artifact 'XXXX:war exploded' has invalid extension

Every time I make even the tiniest change to my POM Intellij removes the .war extension for my exploded artifact in the Project Structure output directory setting. This causes an error in Intellij's Run/Debug configuration:
Artifact 'XXXX:war exploded' has invalid extension.
In order to resolve the issue I must manually override the Project Structure output directory setting. Every time I make even the tiniest change to the POM I must go back to the Output directory setting and manually append ".war" to the end of the Output directory setting. This is getting very old and frustrating.
e.g. I must change this:
E:\workarea\enterp\application\target\application
to this:
E:\workarea\enterp\application\target\application.war
If I manually set the Maven WAR plugin outputDirectory configuration as follows, this does not help at all:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${maven.war.plugin.version}</version>
<configuration>
<!-- Output directory of artifact:war exploded keeps losing the .war extension -->
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}.war</outputDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
How can I resolve this problem?
EDIT:
Here's the complete build config:
<build>
<!-- Maven will append the version to the finalName (which is the name
given to the generated war, and hence the context root) -->
<finalName>${project.artifactId}</finalName>
<plugins>
<!-- Compiler plugin enforces Java 1.6 compatibility and activates annotation
processors -->
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${maven.compiler.plugin.version}</version>
<configuration>
<source>${maven.compiler.source}</source>
<target>${maven.compiler.target}</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${maven.war.plugin.version}</version>
<configuration>
<!-- Output directory of artifact:war exploded keeps losing the .war extension -->
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/${project.artifactId}.war</outputDirectory>
<!-- Java EE 7 doesn't require web.xml, Maven needs to catch up! -->
<failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<!-- The WildFly plugin deploys your war to a local WildFly container -->
<!-- To use, run: mvn package wildfly:deploy -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.wildfly.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>wildfly-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${version.wildfly.maven.plugin}</version>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
SECOND EDIT:
I discovered that one solution is to append ".war" to ${project.artifactId} in the build configuration, e.g.:
<finalName>${project.artifactId}.war</finalName>
and remove outputDirectory from the plugin configuration. So the build config should look like this:
<build>
<!--
Maven will make finalName the name of the generated war.
NOTE: Output directory of artifact:war exploded keeps losing the .war extension
http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-86484
http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-95162
The solution is to append ".war" to ${project.artifactId}, below:
-->
<finalName>${project.artifactId}.war</finalName>
<plugins>
<!-- Compiler plugin enforces Java 1.6 compatibility and activates annotation
processors -->
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${maven.compiler.plugin.version}</version>
<configuration>
<source>${maven.compiler.source}</source>
<target>${maven.compiler.target}</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${maven.war.plugin.version}</version>
<configuration>
<!-- Java EE 7 doesn't require web.xml, Maven needs to catch up! -->
<failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<!-- The WildFly plugin deploys your war to a local WildFly container -->
<!-- To use, run: mvn package wildfly:deploy -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.wildfly.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>wildfly-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${version.wildfly.maven.plugin}</version>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
DISCLAIMER: If you use this workaround just be aware that when you deploy an unexploded WAR artifact the file name will be named XXXX.war.war. It works -- I deployed the artifact as a WAR file in Intellij -- but it's ugly.
INFO [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-7) JBAS015876: Starting deployment of "XXXX.war.war" (runtime-name: "XXXX.war.war)"
If someone can tell me how to configure the Intellij project to work with Maven to select one or the other finalName values depending on whether I'm deploying a WAR file vs. exploded artifact then this question will be sufficiently answered.
<!-- Exploded artifact -->
<finalName>${project.artifactId}.war</finalName>
<!-- WAR file (unexploded) artifact -->
<finalName>${project.artifactId}</finalName>
There's a way to fix this in IntelliJ, without changing your pom.xml file(s), by adding an artifact with a reference to the exploded war (or in my case, the exploded ear) and it won't get stomped every time IntelliJ re-imports the maven pom(s). Here's how:
Stop/undeploy your current artifact deployment
Edit your run config, and in the Deployment tab, remove the current exploded war/ear artifact
Open the project's Artifacts settings and add a new artifact
Use the plus button to add a new war or (in my case) ear exploded artifact
Give it a name, then edit the Output directory to add the appropriate extension (.war or .ear)
In the Output Layout section where you see <output root>, use the plus button to add an Artifact
Select the desired exploded artifact
Edit your run config again, and in the Deployment tab, add the new workaround exploded artifact
Thanks to Nikolay Chashnikov for describing this in his comment on the bug report
Actually, you should leave the finalName attribute alone, otherwise you'll get the problems you describe. Rather, you should change the config for the maven war plugin to use the webappDirectory like this:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<webappDirectory>${project.build.directory}/${project.artifactId}.${project.packaging}</webappDirectory>
<failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml>
</configuration>
</plugin>
If we are talking about WAR inside EAR there is another way to resolve your problem by using correct configuration inside maven-ear-plugin. WAR pom.xml should be left as is, without any changes, but EAR pom.xml should contains something like this. (please, pay your attention to <unpack>${unpack.wars}</unpack>)
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.9</version>
<configuration>
<version>6</version>
<defaultLibBundleDir>lib</defaultLibBundleDir>
<generateApplicationXml>false</generateApplicationXml>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
</manifest>
</archive>
<modules>
<webModule>
<groupId>com.test.app</groupId>
<artifactId>test-app-war</artifactId>
<unpack>${unpack.wars}</unpack>
</webModule>
</modules>
</configuration>
</plugin>
and then you can add profiles default and debug for proper artifact assembling.
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>default</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
</activation>
<properties>
<unpack.wars>false</unpack.wars>
</properties>
</profile>
<profile>
<id>debug</id>
<activation>
<property>
<name>debug</name>
</property>
</activation>
<properties>
<unpack.wars>true</unpack.wars>
</properties>
</profile>
</profiles>
use debug profile inside IntelliJ IDEA for expanding wars and default profile for building artifacts in command line or CI (default profile would be active if no profile were provided, so your build will works as previously).
With this solution HotSwap and resources updates works as expected.
Hope this helps.
I think it's the same as this question: IntelliJ Artifact has invalid extension
Add a .war extension to the output directory as shown in my answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/25569266/968988

change deployed artifact name based on profile

I have in a web application's pom file, a build profile, which does some necessary things (in my code) for qa testing.
I have this code on svn and this code is compiled in Hudson, which deploys artifacts in nexus..
Hudson has two jobs, one for qa profile (-P qa) and one for customers.
What i need is that i change in my qa profile the artifact's name during deploy phase, so that nexus has two different war files, one for qa and one for customer.
I use (after Google search) the following which looks like it does nothing in hudshon!
<profile>
<id>qa</id>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-deploy-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.5</version>
<configuration>
<classifier>qa</classifier>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</profile>
any ideas someone?
You actually need to set the "classifier" configuration option on the plugin that's building the package that's being deployed: maven-(ear|ejb|jar|rar|war|shade)-plugin:
For instance, to build a WAR with a qa classifier, you would do the following:
<profile>
<id>qa</id>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1.1</version>
<configuration>
<classifier>qa</classifier>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</profile>
Also, instead of setting the classifier you could set any of the following (most default to project.build.finalName, so setting that property updates many of these):
General
project.build.finalName
War Plugin
warName
Ear|Jar|Rar|Shade Plugin
finalName
EJB Plugin
jarName
One final note: I never realized this before, but looking over the documentation, it looks like the RAR plugin doesn't support the "classification" option. Shade does support the classifier concept, but does it via the "shadedClassifierName" property.
