configure catalina.properties gradle project

I have a Gradle Project, and I need add to the catalina.properties file:

org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.jarsToSkip=bcprov*.jar

But I don't know where I can find this file in my gradle project.

Solution

  • It's not clear if you are using gradle-tomcat plugin or not, but if you are: you could create a task that copy the catalina.propetiesconfig file to the temporary Tomcat directory, and make the tomcatRun depends on this task. The catalina.properties file could be stored in your project resources , e.g.: in src/main/conf

    ext{
    // path to catalina.properties in your project
    catalinaPropertiesPath = 'src/main/conf/catalina.properties'

    // path to temporary directory used by gradle-tomcat plugin
    tomcatTmpRunDir = "$buildDir/tmp/tomcatRun/conf"
}

// copy catalina.properties conf file
task copyCatalinaProperties(type: Copy){
    from( catalinaPropertiesPath)
    into(tomcatTmpRunDir)

}

// create task dependency
tomcatRun.dependsOn copyCatalinaProperties
