Deploy test resource to Tomcat Server [message #1416491] Thu, 04 September 2014 19:29 Go to next message

I have a Maven war project that I can run in Eclipse by deploying it to a Tomcat server. This works fine for developing and debugging, but I also have a test.xml resource file that I would like to deploy to my webapp when I debug it. I do not want this test.xml file to end up in the final war though.

So:

1) If I put the test.xml file into src/main/webapp/WEB-INF, it is included in the war file and as a result is visible when debugging.
2) If I put the test.xml file into src/test/resources, or src/test/webapp/WEB-INF, it is not deployed to tomcat on debug, and therefore not visible.

Can this be done, or is there another way to go about this?

First, this is a question for the Eclipse Web Tools Platform forum,
however, let me see if I can confuse you more before you go there...

When I put such a file on a path such as src/test/resources/test.xml, I
do indeed see it when running Tomcat from within Eclipse. I would expect
to see it on a path very similar to:

<workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp0/wtpwebapps/<project>/resources/test.xml.

When the WAR is built, I would not expect to see it in the final product
unless you specifically ask for src/test/resources stuff to get put there.

I hope this helps.

Thanks, but it is not working that way for me:

src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/main.xml
src/test/resources/test.xml

ls eclipse/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp0/wtpwebapps/<app>:

META-INF/
WEB-INF/main.xml
-- no test.xml

If I put test.xml under src/test/webapp/WEB-INF/test.xml, same thing. It seems no matter what resources I put under src/test, they never end up in the deploy directory.
