Can you share the web project POM and web.xml?

[Mvn-jstools-users] JavascriptDependencyFilter not returning javascript

[Oliver S. <so...@ci...>]

Hello!

While trying to use mvn-jstools I ran into problems, so I kindly ask  
you, if you can provide a hint... I must be missing something.

In one of my ejb-projects at the university we try to use the maven- 
jstools-plugin for JS-packaging using the JavascriptDependencyFilter.
Somehow we have troubles in using it. The EJB3-application runs on  
jboss 4.2.2.

So we have a maven project and one of its subprojects should be a  
javascript artifact. The directory structure is just like in the  
example from the mvn-jstools website:
it contains a folder src/main/js an all the javascript stuff resides  
there. furthermore, this particular javascript-project is set up just  
like the example from the website.

We have multiple webapps, right now I try to make it work with only one.
in my webapp, I declared the JavascriptDependencyFilter in the web.xml  
_exactly_ like in the example from the website (so the basePath is / 
lib/js)

the webapp also contains a dependecy to my javascript artifact as well  
as to mvn-jstools-plugin.

packaging works, the javascript artifact seems to be created in the  
right way. when I unzip it, I find a directory sturcture as expected.
when I look into the created  .war  from my webapp, I can see that the  
javascript artifact is contained as well as mvn-jstools-plugin and a  
few of the dependecies from mvn-jstools.

There are no errors during deployment, everything seems to be ok.

Now, when  I try to call one of the mapped javascript urls, al I get  
back is a 404.
Also, when turning on debugging, I cannot see  anything about  
JavascriptDependencyFilter. Either there is no logging in it or it  
doesn't get triggered at all.

In my jboss-web.xml, I am setting the parameter <context-root/> ,  
might this be of a problem?

assume I have a javascript file myFile.js in the folder src/main/js of  
my javascript project.
so, when I set the context-root to /abc, and  
JavascriptDependencyFilter is configured exactly as in the example  
from the mvn-jstools website, then I should be able to get the   
javascript using the url
/abc/lib/js/myFile.js ? All i get is a 404,  I also tried to call /lib/ 
js/myFile.js, without the abc-prefix. wouldn't work either.

Is it a problem with the context-root ?
I am using jboss version 4.2.2, mvn-jstools-plugin version 0.6, maven  
version 2.0.8 and jdk1.5

I would be thankful for every usable hint.

Regards,
Oliver Sommer

I would recommend to start documentation stuff in jstools directly, as 
the plugin is already focused in reporting. We can work in merging the 
rest of your mojos in parallel to this. Need to check out your sources 
to discuss this last one further.

We dont have any complicated procedures to commit code right now as the 
dev team of the project is really small. We just need to add you as an 
SF user in the project.

Our people tell me the only thing needed is you to sign a contributor 
agreement (the same as Apache's). I uploaded the two agreements in

http://dev.abiss.gr/licenses/

Just pick one depending on whether you want to contribute as an 
individual or a corporation and fax it over at +30-210-2851-517. We will 
also need a hard copy, you can send this by snail mail or we can provide 
our DHL number for you to send it over by courier; we will pick up the 
bill. Let me know!

Thanks and welcome to the team :-)

Cheers,

Manos

I use mercurial(hg) as scm.
source could be download from http://alchim.sf.net/hg/yuicompressor-maven-plugin

It's would be fine. But I want to do some change in the structure, and adding some requested feature (eg: addHeader, addFooter (for licenses,...)) and support your js packaging stucture, before a merge.
We could start by providing complementary tools (and avoid provide same goal, in case of merge), It's possible there is overlap, I would like to provide a goal to generate documentation with jgrouse 
and maybe jquery (last need investigation).
Currently your plugin provide reports, and mine more compile/build feature (except the planned doc generation).
What is opinion ?

What are the conventions and constraints for a merge, or integration team?

Any contribution is welcome and I think users would greatly benefit from 
a more complete plugin. Would you be willing to get in the team to work 
together and merge your work in jstools? We may ask you to sign a 
contributor agreement, need to check here (abiss) for that.

Thanks again,

Manos

Hi,

I'm the author of yuicompressor-maven-plugin.
I thinks we could collaborate/merge to provide complementary or unique plugin for js developper and web developper.

What is your opinion ?
