lein-uberwar

A Leiningen plugin for packaging WAR archives, split out from lein-ring

Install

To use Lein-Ring, add it as a plugin to your project.clj file or your global profile:

:plugins [[lein-uberwar "<latest-version>"]]

Then add a new :uberwar key to your project.clj file that contains a map of configuration options. At minimum there must be a :handler key that references your Ring handler:

:uberwar {:handler hello-world.core/handler}

Usage

• :init - A function to be called once before your handler starts. It should take no arguments. If you've compiled your Ring application into a war-file, this function will be called when your handler servlet is first initialized.

• :destroy - A function called before your handler exits or is unloaded. It should take no arguments. If your Ring application has been compiled into a war-file, then this will be called when your hander servlet is destroyed.

• :war-exclusions - A list of regular expressions for excluding files from the target war. Defaults to excluding hidden files.

• :servlet-class - The servlet class name.

• :servlet-name - The name of the servlet (in web.xml). Defaults to the handler name.

• :url-pattern - The url pattern of the servlet mapping (in web.xml). Defaults to "/*".

• :servlet-path-info? - If true, a :path-info key is added to the request map. Defaults to true.

• :listener-class - Class used for servlet init/destroy functions. Called listener because underneath it uses a ServletContextListener.

• :web-xml - web.xml file to use in place of auto-generated version (relative to project root).

• :servlet-version - The version of the servlet spec that we claim to conform to. Attributes corresponding to this version will be added to the web-app element of the web.xml. If not specified, defaults to 2.5. For servlets with async handlers, this needs to be at least 3.0.

• :name - The name of the file generated by lein ring uberwar.

• :async? - If true, a 3 argument async handler function will be used and a supports-async element will be generated in the generated web.xml file. If false, a supports-async element will be generated with the value "false". And finally if nil or not present (default), no supports-async will be generated - this did not exist before servlet api 3.0, so for servlet versions before 3.0 nil must be used

Building the WAR

To build the WAR run the following command in the console:

lein uberwar
