seriously, sbt and war

[Vlad Patryshev]

I have to confess. I've spent 3 days already trying to make my sbt build a war file.

Created the project from the scratch, no legacy. The sbt site tells me something that just does not compile.

And it probably raises a general issue.

I can write code in Scala. But I have no clue about how to write code in sbt. There are tons of versions; people change, language changes, every new one is so amazingly good...

All I want is a Barbie ballerina... I mean, sbt to build a war file. Ideally, it could as well deploy it, but I can do it in shell. I can do other stuff in shell too.

Or is it a wrong forum, I wonder...

Thanks,
-Vlad

Hi Vlad,

I feel your pain, brother! Here are some of my own build files for a web project I'm working on. [1] Don't forget to use paulp's sbt-extras! [2] You can build a war by doing packageWar in SBT.

Cheers,

Erik

Because it's a great and simple (base concepts) tool that allows you to hand-craft some very nice things for your project.

It's now maintained by really great guy, Josh Suereth, who tries to simplify sbt for users and helps with any questions you may have relating sbt.

Cheers,

It's pretty hard for others to help you if you don't share what the issue is.

What exactly is the issue? Are you using https://github.com/earldouglas/xsbt-web-plugin ?

I never had an issue building wars...

[Vlad Patryshev]

The issue is simple, I've described it already. I write a build.sbt, add James' plugin, just in case, experiment with what they say on sbt web site - but all I manage to package is a jar. Jar is good; I want a war; and tons of documentation are telling me that's what package produces, a war. No, it does not. No error messages. Is it supposed to?

Thanks,
-Vlad

I followed these instructions and got a Barbie^W WAR file.

It might be helpful if you could post a project that exhibits the problem. The #sbt tag on StackOverflow is the preferred venue for SBT help.

You to have to run packageWar.

Erik,

Thank you so much!!! It worked!!! 

(Now I wonder whether to go ahead and investigate, or leave it to Josh...

sbt = sexy barbie toy

Maybe you thought Vlad was exercising his gift for hyperbole, but no, that's really all we want.

It's what unites humanity across all lines of difference, including gender and who you root for in the World Cup, respectively, in the World Series.

It's also key to how Scala unites FP and OOP.

Hi Vlad, 

Glad to hear it! Good luck deploying your war. :)

Cheers,

Erik
