Testing new containers

Play2War plugin is only compatible with Java EE 6 or Servlet 3.0 containers (see Java EE 6 compatibility page).

It is already tested with many open-source containers (Tomcat, JBoss, Jetty, Glassfish, ...) but not with closed-source ones, especially Weblogic 12 and Websphere 8.

Project structure

ext-runtimes : contains all runtime necessary to launch integration tests (Play 2, ...)
project-code : code of the project it self : plugin, war embedded runtime (core) and integration tests
sample : Play2 project configured to use Play2War plugin and core. This sample is used by integration tests.

Build, publish and run integration tests

Build and publish plugin and core runtime in local repository

Go to PLAY2WAR-HOME/project-code. To publish plugin and core runtime, run

for Scala 2.10: sbt publishLocal
for Scala 2.11: sbt -Dplay2war.sbt.scala211 publishLocal

Artifacts are now published in your local Ivy2 repository (```~/.ivy2/local``)

Build Play2 WAR sample

Go to PLAY2WAR-HOME/sample. To build the WAR file, run

sbt war

WAR file is built in PLAY2WAR-HOME/sample/target
