Question: Configuration of a Loose Application in Liberty

Answered

Created July 25, 2019 12:45

Hello,

I want to use a loose application on a websphere liberty with intellij idea 2019.1.3.

This is neccesary because I want to add a second directory with resources to the web artifact (s. screenshot below) so that I can make changes below this folder and can see the changes immediately in the web app.

This works perfect so far.

But every time when I change something in the profile section from the maven window

this 'resources' directory was deleted and I have to add the 'resources' directory again.

So my question is how can I avoid that this directory was deleted?

Thanks

Christoph

You can try adding additional resources via Maven configuration:

Another option is to make a new artifact manually that will include the contents of the automatically imported artifact and add additional resource location. Artifacts added manually will persist after the Maven project refresh.

Hello Serge,

thanks for your hints.

I did not make it work with the Maven configuration (the "resources" folder does not appear in the artifact).

But with an additional artifact it works like a charm.

Thanks,

Christoph

resources folder probably appears under the compiler output entry. You may need to look for the similar solution for additional webapp contexts.
