Best strategy to have jars deploy into WEB-INF/lib? [message #207902] Sat, 02 February 2008 15:57 Go to next message

I'm trying to figure out the best strategies and options for ensuring that
jars in my build path get deployed into WEB-INF/lib. I have jars in my
build path, but except for my JSF jars, nothing else automatically goes
into WEB-INF/lib.

I found that the only way to get this to happen is to manually (outside of
Eclipse) copy those jars into WebContext/WEB-INF/lib. I find it hard to
believe that's the correct way to do it.

I searched this newsgroup and I found conversations on this over 2 years
ago. I saw references to manually editing some obscure XML files to force
those jars to deploy.

Am I missing something?

One way to do this is have a a Utilities project, that has the various
jars you need, and the jars you need exported to the J2EE Dependencies
section of your Dynamic Web Project.

Any jars listed in the J2EE Dependencies will be exported to the
WebContext/WEB-INF/lib directory when you export the WAR or EAR file.

Actually, it looks like when I add a User Library to my build path, that
also becomes one of the available choices in the J2EE Module Dependencies
table, which when checked, will deploy itself to WEB-INF/lib. I had
thought that before, but it had seemed like some user libraries didn't
make it in there, but I don't see that now.

Jars like this make more sense as User Libraries as opposed to separate
projects.

Yeah, that will work as well.
