CAS 6.3.x build question: Executable .war file

[Brandon Hume]

The documentation at https://apereo.github.io/cas/6.3.x/installation/Configuring-Servlet-Container.html says that CAS can be built as a "fully executable web application", meaning it'll embed a launch script into the war and then you can straight-up just ./cas.war to launch the server.

This is advantageous in our environment for a number of reasons, but I can't find any evidence in the gradlew tasks to build it this way, nor the build.gradle script, and the default .war produced certainly doesn't have this ability.  Is the documentation wrong?

[King, Robert]

If you are using the cas-overlay-template repository to build your cas.war, in the file gradle.properties set the following property:

 

executable=true

 

This should produce the executable version you are looking for.
