activiti-webapp-explorer2 build

I am trying build activiti-explorer and add my own custom maven dependencies(to keep custom Java Task classes in classpath). It seems activiti-explorer is a jar app, but the actual webapp is activiti-webapp-explorer2. I am just curious how the binary(activiti-explorer.war) is generated as the actua

The only thing activiti-webapp-explorer2 contains is the web.xml and some configuration. Since the activiti-explorer is a dependency of the war, it's built into the WAR in the lib-folder.

The app itself is booted thanks to an entry in the web.xml that points to a spring-context file in the activiti-explorer… That's all there is to it

I guess my question is misunderstood

My point is the context root here. WAR you are distributing as part of binaries is named - activiti-explorer.war and on deployment takes the context root as /activiti-explorer ( http://localhost:8080/activiti-explorer).

But the generated war(thro sources) has the name - activiti-webapp-explorer2.war and hence takes a different context root i,e /activiti-webapp-explorer2 ( http://localhost:8080/activiti-webapp-explorer2). I have to add <code><finalName>activiti-explorer</finalName> </code>in the POM to get the desired context-root.

My question was how did you generate activiti-explorer.war , instead of activiti-webapp-explorer2.war

Oh, I see.. This is done in out build.xml for creating the "distro":

 <target name="copy.webapps">
  <mkdir dir="${target.distro.root}/wars" />
  <copy todir="${target.distro.root}/wars">
   <fileset dir="../modules/activiti-webapp-explorer2/target">
    <include name="activiti-webapp-explorer*.war" />
   </fileset>
   <fileset dir="../modules/activiti-webapp-rest2/target">
    <include name="activiti-webapp-rest*.war" />
   </fileset>
  </copy>
  <move file="${target.distro.root}/wars/activiti-webapp-explorer2-${activiti.version}.war" tofile="${target.distro.root}/wars/activiti-explorer.war"/>
  <move file="${target.distro.root}/wars/activiti-webapp-rest2-${activiti.version}.war" tofile="${target.distro.root}/wars/activiti-rest.war"/>
 </target>
