Hi,
I'm having trouble figuring out the correct way to package my modules so they'll work with either a .ear or a .war. Assume two modules:
entities.jar (JPA entities)
services.jar (EJB facade for data access)
When I package using a .ear (using Maven), I end up with:
- my-app.ear
--- services.jar
--- /lib/entities.jar
My persistence.xml is in the services.jar module and has:
[code]<jar-file>lib/entities.jar</jar-file>[/code]
When I package using a .war (using Maven), I end up with:
- my-app.war
--- WEB-INF/web.xml
--- WEB-INF/lib/entities.jar
--- WEB-INF/lib/services.jar
My persistence.xml is in the services.jar module and I have to change the jar-file entry to:
[code]<jar-file>entities.jar</jar-file>[/code]
I don't need .ear packaging and intend to put everything in a .war. However, needing to update persistence.xml depending on the packaging I'm going to use has me worried that I may be doing something wrong.
Is there a better way? I've spent a few hours searching for an answer, but everyone seems to have their own way of doing it. Any help would be appreciated.
