Resolving dependencies with Maven in a JavaArchive

lucianom86 Mar 19, 2012 10:30 PM

Hi,

Is there a way of doing this:

ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class, "testMaven.war").addPackages(true, PACKAGE_BASE + ".test")
                .addClasses(DaoTest.class).addAsWebInfResource(EmptyAsset.INSTANCE, ArchivePaths.create("beans.xml"))
                .addAsResource("test-persistence.xml", "META-INF/persistence.xml").addAsWebInfResource("test-ds.xml")
                .addAsLibraries(Maven.withPom("pom.xml").resolveAsFile("commons-lang:commons-lang"));

Using JavaArchive instead of WebArchive?

Thanks!

Luciano

A JavaArchive can't contain Libraries, so no.

You can always force them in, but probably won't be understood by the Container. e..g .addAsResource(new File("my-library.jar"))

The best practice would probably be to use the packaging type that best fit your application / test.

Is your final product a EAR, and your Test is relying on a EAR structure, use a EAR. If the final is a WAR, then use a WAR.
