Setting the context root

[Sébastien]

I'm trying to integrate this plugin with BlazeDS but I don't find how
to specify the context-root mxmlc parameter.
Is there a way to do so?

[Christian Edward Gruber]

I'd have to check about a specific parameter, but if you can't find
one in the plugin docs, you can always use the generic workaround
parameter configuration in <extraParams> You can pretty much set any
parameters that aren't "natively supported" by the plugin in that
section.

Thanks. Could you give me an example of the syntax?

Hi Christian,

The problem with <extraParams> is that, the value is not not read
before <main> and as such the build fails because it cannot find the
path specified in <extraParams>. The issues was also raised here in
the groups : http://groups.google.com/group/israfil-mojo-users/browse_thread/thread/828954652ce1a3c9

Do you have any workaround to add the context-root param ?

thanks,

Sudhan

Hmm. I thought main was the last thing given to the compiler. What
version of hte plugin are you using? And would you send your output
of the command-line from the maven build log? It'd help to see what's
happening.

Just for a workaround i had to add context-root tag in flex-config.xml
in the framework/sdk and then everything works fine. But i should be
able to add extraParam through Maven. Below is my Error log :


[INFO] Error: The services configuration includes a channel-definition
'my-http'

Hi,

I am adding the code snippet i added to Israfil pluggin (custom
modification), which allowed me to add context root param for the
compilers. The file being modified was : AbstractFlexMojo.java

Step: 1 : Add contextRoot param to AbstractFlexMojo.java as a member
variable.

/**
* contextRoot to add to compiler at runtime. This param will be used
in
* with dataServicesConfig.
*
* @parameter
*/
protected String contextRoot;

Step : 2 : Adding following code in AbstractFlexMojo.java, just before
this line - if (dataServicesConfig != null) {


if (contextRoot != null){
if (contextRoot.trim().length() > 0){
try{
javaParms.add("-compiler.context-root");
javaParms.add(contextRoot.trim());
}catch(Exception e){
throw new MojoExecutionException("Exception attempting to set
contextRoot: " + contextRoot, e);
}
}
}

Step : 3 : Lastly add contextRoot to your Maven pom

<plugin>
<groupId>net.israfil.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-flex2-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<extensions>true</extensions>
<configuration>
<flexHome>${flex.home}</flexHome>
<useNetwork>true</useNetwork>
<contextRoot>/samples</contextRoot>
<dataServicesConfig>
C:\jboss-4.0.5.GA\server\default\deploy
\samples.war\WEB-INF\flex\services-config.xml
</dataServicesConfig>
<strict>true</strict>
<warning>true</warning>
<main>index.mxml</main>
</configuration>
</plugin>

Hope this will help.

thanks
