Adding a facet support for tomcat [message #222542] Wed, 01 October 2008 14:52 Go to next message

Hi

Is there a way to extend Tomcat (without creating a fragmented project and
override default behaviours) so that it would accept other facets than
"jst.web" (Dynamic Web Module)?
Problem is that I'd like to create a project that would be deployed under
Tomcat, but use my own project structure. Currently only way I know to add
projects under Tomcat is by adding facets "Dynamic Web Module" and "Java"
what force us to use unacceptable project configuration.

Forgot to mention, we use WTP 2.

I believe getting your own facet to be accepted by a WTP Tomcat server
would be easy. See the
"org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.runtimes" extension in the
plugin.xml of the org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.core plug-in for
details/hints.

The bigger question is whether how will WTP treat a "dynamic web"
project that doesn't have a "jst.web" facet and whether you will lose
functionality you would want to keep. For example, I don't think File
-> Export -> WAR file would work with such a project. Not knowing what
you want different, it's hard to say if you could keep the "jst.web"
facet and still accomplish the changes you want.

Cheers,
Larry

Hi,

What I have is
<extension point="org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.runtimes">
<supported>
<facet id="myfacet" version="1.0"/>
<runtime-component id="org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat"
version="[5.0"/>
</supported>
</extension>

and

IModuleType[] moduleTypes =
server.getServerType().getRuntimeType().getModuleTypes();

still contain
[ModuleType[jst.web, 2.2], ModuleType[jst.web, 2.3], ModuleType[jst.web,
2.4], ModuleType[jst.utility, 1.0]] and nothing about myfacet.

this code is also used in ModuleSloshAction that checks if I can add the
project to the server.

Thanks in advance,
Ivar

OK, even Tomcat is looking specifically for "jst.web" to identify
modules it can deploy directly, see TomcatServer.canModifyModules().
Modifying this code would get you a little further, but depending on the
differences in your altered project structure, this may be the first of
many changes that will be needed.

Cheers,
Larry

Actually this "jst.web" refers to a ModuleType. Unfortunately, I'm not
sure, off the top of my head, what it would take to get your facet to
qualify as defining "jst.web" ModuleType.
