Export As WAR

[ashouric]

Dear All,

It would nice to have an automatic way of exporting the project as WAR, either by using Eclipse Export feature, or at least by having a generated ant build.

Many thanks.

We are looking into doing this and other deployment options (either for the initial release or a subsequent update).

The latest GWT Designer build now includes a Deploy module command on the main toolbar (active when the module class is selected).





This command will generate a WAR file and copy it to whatever server path you specify. It also creates a reusable ANT script that you can use to regenerate and redeploy the WAR file.

I had to create a /bin and /src directory before the deploy would work. also Why can't you just select the project and then do a deploy. I had to select either the client or server package and then I see the 'Deploy Module' option.

Now GWT Designer will export all source and binary folders, not just /src and /bin.

If you've just added empty /src and /bin folders to disable error that they can not be found, this is source of this problem. GWT Designer just export only files from these folders.

In any case, see my previous error, your original problem solved. So, grab new build of GWT Designer and check it.

Hello,

I thought I'd mention that the export worked for me, however, my other jar files (external libraries) weren't exported.

It's simple enough to add it in the build file, but I thought I'd mention it since the normal export command in eclipse does include these.

Thanks,
Chris

Try this again with the latest GWT Designer build.

This didn't seem to work for me. It appears that the paths are not being replaced correctly (an absolute/relative path issue).

For example, I've added a couple libraries at the location:
C:/Documents and Settings/Chris/workspace/cb/WEB-INF/lib/myJar.jar

but the build file in the target "war", copy todir, fileset tag has:

C:/Documents and Settings/Chris/workspace/Documents and Settings/Chris/workspace/cb/WEB-INF/lib/myJar.jar

Fixed, now we support jar files that are outside of the project.

My GWT services need code from 2 other projects that I have in Eclipse. GWT deployment tool does not include the required projects into the war. I've tried listing them everywhere: in Java Build Path>Projects, >Libraries, >Order and Export, in Project References - nothing helps.

This should now work in the latest build.

Now we will also export all of the referenced projects as jar's in the same WAR.
