I am trying to get all of the files in the WebContent directory to be deployed along with the folders. Currently, new folders and their contents are deployed perfectly but files are not. I can copy my files directly into the jboss temp and make the everything work correctly but I would like it built into the war originally.

Eclipse info:
Version: 3.4.0
Build id: I20080617-2000

I'm using the most recent WTP.

My org.eclipse.wst.common.component file looks like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project-modules id="moduleCoreId" project-version="1.5.0">
<wb-module deploy-name="MY_WebApp">
<wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/WebContent"/>
<wb-resource deploy-path="/WEB-INF/classes" source-path="/src/Business"/>
<property name="context-root" value="MY_WebApp"/>
<property name="java-output-path" value="build/classes"/>
</wb-module>
</project-modules>

Please let me know if I need to give any more information. Thank you in advance!

Normally files in WebContent *are* included. It's not clear why yours
aren't. Does right-clicking the WebContent folder and selecting Refresh
fix this behavior?

No, refreshing doesn't stop it. But I've found something crazy...

Since you said that it should be, I did some more testing and realized something important. If I have a filename with a period in it, it works! I tried a file called test and a file called test.alksjdlakjsdal and the test.alksjdlakjsdal was deployed correctly!

I'm guessing that this is a real bug then? Can someone else try that to duplicate the behavior.

Thank you for your help!

Files named "test" and "index" publish successfully for me along with my
"index.jsp". If you right-click on the "test" file and select
Properties, what Type of file does it say it is? Is it's "Derived"
property set?

Cheers,
Larry

"index.jsp". If you right-click on the "test" file and select
Properties, what Type of file does it say it is? Is it's "Derived"
property set?

Type is "File"
none of the checkboxes for property set are checked
It is not Read only, not executable, and not derived.

Thanks!

I assume these files were created within Eclipse so there shouldn't be
any permission issues with respect to accessing the files. I see
"Archive" as a property instead of "Executable" on Windows XP, so I
assume you are using a different OS. Is the correct? Also, what
plug-ins are you using for your JBoss support? Ones from WTP, JBoss, or
elsewhere?

Cheers,
Larry

Yes, the files were created with eclipse. I am using Mac OSX but I have found the exact same problem on a windows xp machine. I haven't checked the properties on that computer though. I am just using WTP, nothing else. Unless you count subclipse, those are the only two plugins I've installed.

I haven't played that much with the WTP JBoss support to know if there
are any quirks that would explain this. You could try right-clicking on
the JBoss server and selecting "Clean...". I believe like the WTP
Tomcat support, the JBoss support uses delta publishing when building
the EAR or WAR to be copied to JBoss. The delta publishing (based on
the time stamp of the source file) is used to avoid re-copying files
that have already been copied. If something happened to the destination
file, the delta publishing wouldn't bother to make a new copy unless the
time stamp on the source file changed. This is the only way I'm aware
of that causes files to mysteriously not be published. The "Clean..."
command forces a "full" publish, which corrects this situation.

Larry

I've actually tried that many times in this process. I've even deleted the tmp and work directories and downloaded a new jboss. You're right though, the file is in the war file, it's just the deployment that is causing the problem. May it's jboss?

My guess is that the files go missing when they are supposed to be
copied to the
".metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp?\<project name>"
folder for assembly into the war that gets copied to JBoss. If you
create a new workspace and import this project into the new workspace (I
recommend enabling "Copy projects into workspace"), does it continue to
exhibit this behavior?

Cheers,
Larry

My guess is that the files go missing when they are supposed to be
copied to the
".metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp?\<project name>"
folder for assembly into the war that gets copied to JBoss. If you
create a new workspace and import this project into the new workspace (I
recommend enabling "Copy projects into workspace"), does it continue to
exhibit this behavior?

Yes, it does. It has the exact same problem. I have found some more interesting information!

If I rightclick on project->export->as war, all of the files are in the war correctly!!

If I unzip the published war, the files are not there. Apparently something completely different is happening in eclipse when I export as a war and if I publish to server!

Export as War currently uses code separate from the publishing code to
"assemble" the files to include in the Web application. This would
account for the difference in behavior. In this new workspace, can you
create a simple scaled project or projects that also exhibits this behavior?

Sure. I just did that and then exported the project as an archive file that you can find here...
http://rapidshare.com/files/363686551/testFileProject.zip.ht ml

The new workspace seems to have made no difference. In that project, there is a file called test and a file called test.test. If you unzip the war file after it is published, you can see that only the test.test file got into the war file. At least I hope that's what you'll see.

Thank you so much for your help!

Not too surprising, your project works fine for me. This suggests that
this behavior would seem to be the result of differences between the
Windows and Mac versions of Eclipse, default workspace settings (though
I'm not aware of a setting that would have this effect), or differences
in installed plug-ins. I would target the latter first. You could try
creating a new installation of Eclipse without the subclipse plug-ins
and see if you can recreate the problem. That would tell us whether the
subclipse plug-ins are contributing this behavior. At this point, it's
probably not safe to assume anything about what might or might not
be the source of the behavior.

Cheers,
Larry

I have tried this on both a mac and a pc both with subclipse and not and I am still finding this problem! Exporting as a war won't be a problem for production I guess, but development is very annoying without using eclipse's built in publishing. I downloaded a new copy of eclipse for all of my tests and I am finding the exact same issue.

Thanks again, I really hope we can find a solution.

It's a real mystery why you are seeing this issue on the PC and I'm not.
Since I'm out of guesses, the path forward is to actually debug what
is happening on your system. This isn't that difficult, but it's more
that a few steps, for which I can provide the necessary guidance. If
you are game, exactly what Eclipse download did you use?
