How to automate the deployment of a lib with Maven (m2e plugin) to Tomcat?


I'm trying to deploy from Eclipse to Tomcat using m2e. Thing is I'm using a connection pool and I need to deploy the MySql driver to the /apache/bin dir and the context.xml to the /apache/conf directory.

Does anyone know how to automate that on the maven deploy?


Solution

  • In eclipse, go to ProjectProperties->DeploymentAssembly Here you can define where the files need to go into the war package directories. When you deploy via eclipse, this DeploymentAssembly is considered. Hence by mapping here I suppose you can achieve it..
