Packaging shell in jar within war

[ricardop]

Hi.

Would appreciate your help regarding this Crash+Packaging question.

For my setup I'm building a webapp that I want to deploy as war A. This web app is composed of several components, one of which is crashhub which I want to customize with my own commands. For this purpose with maven I'm packaging the different modules in jars and packagin them in war A, where I define the web.xml. One of this jars is the "shell" jar, where other than required dependecies I define my commands and properties.

The problem that I'm having is that the web deployment seems to expect the code and properties available in "/WEB-INF/crash", and with my 2 step packaging I don't seem to find a way to place resource files of the JAR in War A's WEB-INF directory. I guess that if the code looked for crash/crash.properties in class path there would be some ways to solve this, but according to documentation:

"Configuring the web application mode :In the war file packaging, the configuration file can be found under /WEB-INF/crash/crash.properties file of the archive. "

I understand that it would simply work if I added the files directly in the WAR, but would like to keep the commands in specific package.

Any ideas ?

you can do that by updating the “mount point configuration”:

http://www.crashub.org/1.3/reference.html#_mount_point_configuration

in this case if you want to use the files in jar file you need to define:

 <context-param>

    <param-name>crash.mountpointconfig.conf</param-name>

    <param-value>classpath:/crash/</param-value>

  </context-param>

  <context-param>

    <param-name>crash.mountpointconfig.cmd</param-name>

    <param-value>classpath:/crash/commands/</param-value>

  </context-param>

in your web.xml
