10.8. Deployment Descriptor Overrides
Procedure 10.17. Override the deployment descriptor using the Management CLI
app.war
and you wish to override it's WEB-INF/web.xml
file with another web.xml
file located in /home/user/web.xml
.
- Add a deployment overlay and add content to it. You can achieve this in the following two ways:
Using DMR tree
/deployment-overlay=myoverlay:add
/deployment-overlay=myoverlay/content=WEB-INF\/web.xml:add(content={url=file:///home/user/web.xml})
You can also add more content rules using the second statement.
Using convenience methods
deployment-overlay add --name=myoverlay --content=WEB-INF/web.xml=/home/user/web.xml
- Link the overlay to a deployment archive. You can achieve this in the following two ways:
Using DMR tree
/deployment-overlay=myoverlay/deployment=app.war:add
Using convenience methods
deployment-overlay link --name=myoverlay --deployments=app.war
You may specify multiple archive names separated by commas.
Note that the deployment archive name need not exist on the server. You are specifying the name, but not yet linking it to an actual deployment. Redeploy the application
/deployment=app.war:redeploy
