Seam 3 examples

asookazian Mar 4, 2011 2:07 AM

So I finally downloaded and extracted Maven 3, JBoss 6.0-final and Seam 3.0-CR1. Good job guys!

Whatever happened to the build.xml ant script (from Weld) with the macrodef tag that allows ant to hook into maven? When I ran

mvn clean install

for the helloworld example app, the WAR file was not automatically copied to the JBoss /server/default/deploy directory as I expected (yes, I'm lazy). either that or use maven's antrun plugin to use the ant copy task:

It seems you have a problem with your internet connection or DNS? (based on this snippet from your log):

Error transferring file: repository.jboss.org: Unknown host repository.jboss.org

Also, to deploy to JBoss AS you can use the jboss:hard-deploy goal in Maven - I think you just have to set up the JBOSS_HOME environment variable for this to work.

Thanks Shane. The internet connection was indeed spotty last nite, so perhaps that's the root cause there.

I have heard of the jboss:hard-deploy goal, but that will simply copy the WAR/EAR. For exploded deployments (which is what is/was recommended with Seam 2 and assuming with Seam 3 during development), I don't think Maven has anything helpful.

I'm using a custom ant script (build.xml) for my current project that hooks into maven via <macrodef> tag. Here is that particular target for unzipping:

<target name="unzip">
          <echo message="**************Beginning unzip target..."/>
          <echo message="Base directory is ${basedir}" />     
          <mkdir dir="${basedir}\target\${ear.app.name}\temp"/>
          <unzip src="${basedir}\com.echo.cis.gui.ear\target\${ear.app.name}\${war.app.name}.war" dest="${basedir}\target\${ear.app.name}\temp"/>
          <delete file="${basedir}\com.echo.cis.gui.ear\target\${ear.app.name}\${war.app.name}.war"/>
          <mkdir dir="${basedir}\com.echo.cis.gui.ear\target\${ear.app.name}\${war.app.name}.war"/>
          <copy todir="${basedir}\com.echo.cis.gui.ear\target\${ear.app.name}\${war.app.name}.war">
               <fileset dir="${basedir}\target\${ear.app.name}\temp" />
          </copy>
          <delete dir="${basedir}\target\${ear.app.name}\temp"/>
     </target>

and the explode target:

<target name="explode" depends="showproperties, clean, install, unzip" description="Runs mvn clean install and then unzips the EAR/WAR and copies to JBoss deploy directory">
          <echo message="**************Beginning explode target..."/>
          <echo message="**************maven.profile = ${maven.profile}"/>
          
          <mkdir dir="${jboss.home}/server/${jboss.profile}/deploy/${ear.app.name}.ear" />
          <copy todir="${jboss.home}/server/${jboss.profile}/deploy/${ear.app.name}.ear">
               <fileset dir="${artifact.dir}" />
          </copy>
          <tstamp>  
              <format property="now" pattern="MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss" locale="en,US"/>  
          </tstamp>  
          <echo message="Current datetime: ${now}"/>
          <echo message="The app can be accessed at ${final.url}" />
     </target>

I'm wondering if Maven 3 has functionality that will accommodate this type of deployment...

I am having the same question as Arbi. Has anybody a solution or answer to his question? For the moment (with seam2, maven structure) we are also using a specific ant task to do our exploding of our EAR.
It would be nice to add this kind of functionality (hot deployment) to the seam 3 examples.

There seems to be a POM.xml problem with a number of the seam 3 examples distributed with 3.0.0.Final.
The dependency for JSF fails to specify a <version> tag and consequently the initial step of the maven downloads fails. Because of that failure, succeeding steps fail and generated a very imposing list of failures.

If you insert a valid version tag after line 89 of the pom.xml for security-idmconsole the maven commands will now execute.

 <dependency> <groupId>javax.faces</groupId> <artifactId>jsf-api</artifactId>  <version>2.0.2-FCS</version> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency>

I should also add that my solution may be a work around for a dependancy lookup that should be working without the version tag.

I am only just learning maven as a result of test drives of seam 3.

If there is a better solution than my workaround I encourage others to speak up.
