Hi,
Yes, it is a reactor module, with childwebapp having dependency on the
parentwebapp.
Both webapps are own made (not third parties).
So, i tried these :
- Going to the maven parent module to do the install --> results on
parentwebapp.war and childwebapp.war (overlays with parentwebapp.war)
- On eclipse, on the childwebapp project, i do tomcat7:run ..
Still the same error of
org.codehaus.plexus.archiver.ArchiverException: The source must not be
a directory
- And then i check the m2e run configuration, and i uncheck 'resolve
workspace artifacts', and rerun it ..
This time, the error has changed into unfamiliar apache tiles error
that possibly mean the tiles' configuration file is missing or
something
Now this error doesnt appear if i use tomcat7:deploy on the
childwebapp.war, so i assume tomcat7:run has some issues when merging
parentwebapp with childwebapp, resulting in missing files ..
Questions :
- tomcat7:run's tomcat location to help debugging the error :
Is there a temporary directory for the embedded tomcat for the merged
childwebapp, so that i can check what files are probably missing after
tomcat7:run merges parentwebapp and childwebapp ?
- Pure tomcat7:run without building the WAR files ?
Is it possible to have tomcat7:run to merge the dependant webapp
modules without having to build the WAR files ?
For example, tomcat7:run on childwebapp would 'magically' merges
parentwebapp and childwebapp in terms of jars, classes, jsps, and
other static files like xmls, properties, web files, etc (like
overlay, but without making the WAR beforehand) ?
Thank you !

Do not pursue the past. Do not lose yourself in the future.
The past no longer is. The future has not yet come.
Looking deeply at life as it is in the very here and now,
the practitioner dwells in stability and freedom.
