We have some helping functionality in our project and those functionalities are common across many web modules. These functionalities are also web modules themselves as they have JSP screens to capture user input. If we try to package these helping components in a web module (in a WAR file) then it becomes very difficult for us to establish a dependency between the main WAR file and the helper WAR file. In these circumstances the only way left to us is to copy JSP files and class files of the helping component in each and every main WAR files. I think this is not a clean solution. Ideally we should package this helping component in a JAR file somehow and then we should establish a dependency in the main WAR file by putting appropriate entries in its MANIFEST .MF file. Can anybody suggest me how to achieve this scenario by keeping our requirement in mind?
Maybe I'm missing something but why not just place the helper.war/.jar in the classpath of the app. server, and deploy all of the .?ars together? I'm not sure what dependency you want or need to declare. Just deploy all the files together visible in the app. server's runtime classpath. TW
