Built by Maven

war:exploded

Full name:

org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-war-plugin:3.2.2:exploded

Description:

Create an exploded webapp in a specified directory.

Attributes:

  • Requires a Maven project to be executed.
  • Requires dependency resolution of artifacts in scope: runtime.
  • Binds by default to the lifecycle phase: package.

Required Parameters

Name Type Since Description
<cacheFile> File 2.1-alpha-1 The file containing the webapp structure cache.
Default value is: ${project.build.directory}/war/work/webapp-cache.xml.
<warSourceDirectory> File - Single directory for extra files to include in the WAR. This is where you place your JSP files.
Default value is: ${basedir}/src/main/webapp.
<webappDirectory> File - The directory where the webapp is built.
Default value is: ${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}.
<workDirectory> File - Directory to unpack dependent WARs into if needed.
Default value is: ${project.build.directory}/war/work.

Optional Parameters

Name Type Since Description
<archive> MavenArchiveConfiguration - The archive configuration to use. See Maven Archiver Reference.
<archiveClasses> boolean 2.0.1 Whether a JAR file will be created for the classes in the webapp. Using this optional configuration parameter will make the compiled classes to be archived into a JAR file and the classes directory will then be excluded from the webapp.
Default value is: false.
<containerConfigXML> File - The path to a configuration file for the servlet container. Note that the file name may be different for different servlet containers. Apache Tomcat uses a configuration file named context.xml. The file will be copied to the META-INF directory.
<delimiters> LinkedHashSet 3.0.0

Set of delimiters for expressions to filter within the resources. These delimiters are specified in the form 'beginToken*endToken'. If no '*' is given, the delimiter is assumed to be the same for start and end.

So, the default filtering delimiters might be specified as:

<delimiters>
  <delimiter>${*}</delimiter>
  <delimiter>@</delimiter>
</delimiters>

Since the '@' delimiter is the same on both ends, we don't need to specify '@*@' (though we can).
<dependentWarExcludes> String - The comma separated list of tokens to exclude when doing a WAR overlay. Default is Overlay.DEFAULT_EXCLUDES
<dependentWarIncludes> String - The comma separated list of tokens to include when doing a WAR overlay. Default is Overlay.DEFAULT_INCLUDES
<escapeString> String 2.1-beta-1 Expression preceded with this String won't be interpolated. \${foo} will be replaced with ${foo}.
<escapedBackslashesInFilePath> boolean 2.1-alpha-2 To escape interpolated values with Windows path c:\foo\bar will be replaced with c:\\foo\\bar.
Default value is: false.
<filteringDeploymentDescriptors> boolean 2.1-alpha-2 To filter deployment descriptors. Disabled by default.
Default value is: false.
<filters> List - Filters (property files) to include during the interpolation of the pom.xml.
<includeEmptyDirectories> boolean 2.4 (no description)
Default value is: false.
<nonFilteredFileExtensions> List 2.1-alpha-2 A list of file extensions that should not be filtered. Will be used when filtering webResources and overlays.
<outputFileNameMapping> String 2.1-alpha-1 The file name mapping to use when copying libraries and TLDs. If no file mapping is set (default) the files are copied with their standard names.
<overlays> List 2.1-alpha-1 The overlays to apply. Each <overlay> element may contain:
  • id (defaults to currentBuild)
  • groupId (if this and artifactId are null, then the current project is treated as its own overlay)
  • artifactId (see above)
  • classifier
  • type
  • includes (a list of string patterns)
  • excludes (a list of string patterns)
  • filtered (defaults to false)
  • skip (defaults to false)
  • targetPath (defaults to root of webapp structure)
<recompressZippedFiles> boolean 2.3 Indicates if zip archives (jar,zip etc) being added to the war should be compressed again. Compressing again can result in smaller archive size, but gives noticeably longer execution time.
Default value is: true.
<resourceEncoding> String 2.3 The encoding to use when copying filtered web resources.
Default value is: ${project.build.sourceEncoding}.
<supportMultiLineFiltering> boolean 2.4 Stop searching endToken at the end of line
Default value is: false.
<useCache> boolean 2.1-alpha-1 Whether the cache should be used to save the status of the webapp across multiple runs. Experimental feature so disabled by default.
Default value is: false.
<useDefaultDelimiters> boolean 3.0.0 Use default delimiters in addition to custom delimiters, if any.
Default value is: true.
<useJvmChmod> boolean 2.4 use jvmChmod rather that cli chmod and forking process
Default value is: true.
<warSourceExcludes> String - The comma separated list of tokens to exclude when copying the content of the warSourceDirectory.
<warSourceIncludes> String - The comma separated list of tokens to include when copying the content of the warSourceDirectory.
Default value is: **.
<webResources> Resource[] - The list of webResources we want to transfer.
<webXml> File - The path to the web.xml file to use.
