Build CAS as executable JAR file

[newbee]

Hi All,

I am using CAS 5.2.5. I am able to build the WAR file successfully. 

I have a different need for our project. I would like to build CAS as executable JAR file. Is this possible please?

I tried changing the packaging to jar in pom.xml and creating a shaded jar using maven. But that jar does not work.

Thanks,

[Ray Bon]

In build.sh file there is a run option, Build and run cas.war via Java (i.e. java -jar target/cas.war).

Will this do what you want?

If not provide more details on your objective.

Usually to build a Spring Boot executable JAR file is to set <executable>true</executable> under the spring-boot-maven-plugin section in pom.xml.  I tried that plus changing layout and packaging to jar, but still cannot run the resulting jar or war file by itself.  Spewed out infinite loop stack trace.

A little more digging seems to suggest war overlay does not play nicely with Spring Boot executable pacakaging in general, see: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/1030

So you may have to resort to Ray's suggestion of running the war file via java -jar, or deploy the war file to a container of your choice.
