Question

I am trying to deploy an axis 1.4 service using deploy.wsdd and maven axis tools plugin,
I have configured the pom.xml but getting error where it needs inputFiles.
Please refer my POM below

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>axistools-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.4</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
          <id>deploy-service</id>
          <goals>
          <goal>admin</goal>
        </goals>
        <configuration>
           <inputFiles>
            <inputFile>/src/main/resources/config/axis/deploy.wsdd</inputFile>
            <inputFile>/src/main/resources/configaxis/undeploy.wsdd</inputFile>
          </inputFiles>
          <isServerConfig>true</isServerConfig>
          <configOutputDirectory>/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF</configOutputDirectory>
           </configuration>
       </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

I am getting error where I am setting the inputFiles (Which is ArrayList type according to the documentation). Please let me know what is problem with this setting and find the error below

Command :

mvn clean axistools:admin

Error :

[INFO] One or more required plugin parameters are invalid/missing for 'axistools:admin'

[0] Inside the definition for plugin 'axistools-maven-plugin' specify the following:

<configuration>
  ...
  <inputFiles>VALUE</inputFiles>
</configuration>

-OR-

on the command line, specify: '-DinputFile=VALUE'

Please let me know what is the value I need to set?

Answer 1

I have modified the pom file as follows and it worked

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>axistools-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.4</version>
     <configuration>
           <inputFiles>
            <inputFile>/src/main/resources/config/axis/deploy.wsdd</inputFile>
            <inputFile>/src/main/resources/configaxis/undeploy.wsdd</inputFile>
          </inputFiles>
          <isServerConfig>true</isServerConfig>
          <configOutputDirectory>/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF</configOutputDirectory>
     </configuration>
    <executions>
        <execution>
          <id>deploy-service</id>
          <goals>
          <goal>admin</goal>
        </goals>
       </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

But there was another problem, I have to give full path in the inputFile and did not add the file for undeploying the web service.
The plugin executed the AdmitClient, but the problem was that it could not create server-config.wsdd as it could not find the compiled class files. Basically the java are located in src/main/java and compiled to target/classes .
I am still figuring out how to rectify this problem..
There is not much documentation about this plugin
