How to work with dependent modules [message #136860]

Hello all,

I have 2 simple java projects which I want to use within my web tools
project. There should be a possibility to generate automaticly a jar file
of these projects and deploy this jar into the .deployable/modules dir.

But I couldn't find any information about editing and working with the
wtpmodules file.

Is there any step by step how-to? How does it work?

Thanks
Marc

Hi Marc,

If you look back to my post [Managing builds with shared jars...] on the
1st Sept, you'll find an attached .wtpmodules that covers what you are
asking about.

One important thing to note is that dependencies between modules in the
same project do not seem to work. Since I wrote that email, I've been
looking at some of the design documentation for webtools, and it seems
to be a 'feature' of the design.

I certainly have some problems with that project, where it sometimes
builds only part of the build. Usually solved with a Clean All.

Cheers,

Neale

Thank you,

I have tried it and followed the instructions.

But the list with the JAR / Modules is empty and so I can't select a jar.

What I am doing wrong?

Okay I got it work:

I put .wtpmodules File in my util-Project with this content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project-modules id="moduleCoreId">
<wb-module deploy-name="util">
<module-type module-type-id="jst.utility">
<version></version>
</module-type>
<wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/resources"/>
<wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/src"/>
</wb-module>
</project-modules>

Then I extended the .wtpmodule File of my web app project with the
following lines:

<dependent-module deploy-path="/WEB-INF/lib/"
handle="module:/resource/util-project/util">
<dependency-type>uses</dependency-type>
</dependent-module>

Regards,
Marc
