SUMMARY: The goal is to find the path to the WEB-INF folder in the target folder for maven-jetty-plugin that is compatible with other servers as well. The ServletContext.getRealPath(“”) works beautifully for, e.g., Tomcat, or mvn jetty:run-war. Thank you

Dear All:

This is related to
http://tickets.openmrs.org/browse/TRUNK-1760

It can be easily tested with the following commands:

mvn archetype:generate -B -DarchetypeGroupId=org.appfuse.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=appfuse-light-struts-archetype -DarchetypeVersion=2.1.0-M1 -DgroupId=com.mycompany -DartifactId=myproject
cd myproject
patch -p0 < diff
cd myproject
mvn clean install -DskipTests && mvn jetty:run

Please find the diff file here:
http://old.nabble.com/file/p29815681/diff

Now, navigate to
http://localhost:8080/
in a browser and this will point to
!!! /home/misha/workspace/myproject/src/main/resources

Should this not, instead, point to?

./target/classes

or

./target/myproject-2.1.0-M1/WEB-INF/classes

Is it possible to modify this behavior?

Thank you so much

Yours

    It seems one work around, per Jan Bartel’s very helpful post on the user at jetty dot codehaus dot org mailing list, is to use

    mvn jetty:run-exploded

    I believe one of the disadvantages of this method is the extra time that it will take to first assemble a WAR and then to run it.

    Thank you
    Misha
