Let’s start with: chmod 777 is great for testing, but absolutely unfit for the real world and you shouldn’t get used to this setting. Rather set the owner/group correctly, before you give world write permissions.

There’s another option since maven-war-plugin 2.1-alpha-2. In your WAR project: <plugin> <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.1.1</version> <configuration> <attachClasses>true</attachClasses> </configuration> </plugin> This creates a classes artifact which you can use in the acceptance tests project with: <dependency> <groupId>your-group-id</groupId> <artifactId>your-artifact-id</artifactId> <version>your-version</version> <classifier>classes</classifier> </dependency>
Similar to what Richard Detsch but with a bit easier to follow (works with packages as well) Step 1: Unwrap the War file. jar -xvf MyWar.war Step 2: move into the directory cd WEB-INF Step 3: Run your main with all dependendecies java -classpath “lib/*:classes/.” my.packages.destination.FileToRun
It is better to add new Maven repository (preferably using your own artifactory) to your project instead of installing it to your local repository. Maven syntax: <dependency> <groupId>com.oracle</groupId> <artifactId>ojdbc6</artifactId> <version>11.2.0.3</version> </dependency> … <repositories> <repository> <id>codelds</id> <url>https://code.lds.org/nexus/content/groups/main-repo</url> </repository> </repositories> Grails example: mavenRepo “https://code.lds.org/nexus/content/groups/main-repo” build ‘com.oracle:ojdbc6:11.2.0.3’

Here are examples of each of the steps: Preconditions We’ll assume that you have your code organized like: ${basedir}/src: Java files, properties, XML config files ${basedir}/web: … Read more

In Java 7 we got Zip File System that allows adding and changing files in zip (jar, war) without manual repackaging. We can directly write to files inside zip files as in the following example. Map<String, String> env = new HashMap<>(); env.put(“create”, “true”); Path path = Paths.get(“test.zip”); URI uri = URI.create(“jar:” + path.toUri()); try (FileSystem … Read more
You can access your application from: http://localhost:8080/sample Deploying or redeploying of war files is automatic by default – after copying/overwriting the file sample.war, check your webapps folder for an extracted folder sample. If it doesn’t open properly, check the log files (e.g. tomcat/logs/catalina.out) for problems with deployment.
The Servlet 2.4 specification says this about WEB-INF (page 70): A special directory exists within the application hierarchy named WEB-INF. This directory contains all things related to the application that aren’t in the document root of the application. The WEB-INF node is not part of the public document tree of the application.
