How to use an external artifact reference
XL Deploy allows you to generate an XL Deploy deployment package with CIs that refer to artifacts in an external store (that is, in a Maven repository or JCR repository). This sample describes a package that contains a WAR file called petclinic that is defined in an external Maven repository.
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.xebialabs.maven.demo</groupId> <artifactId>depl-7621</artifactId> <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> <packaging>pom</packaging> <properties> <deployit.username>admin</deployit.username> <deployit.password>admin</deployit.password> <deployit.server>localhost</deployit.server> <deployit.port>4516</deployit.port> <deployit.container>Environments/was85nd</deployit.container> </properties> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>com.xebialabs.xldeploy</groupId> <artifactId>xldeploy-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>5.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <extensions>true</extensions> <configuration> <username>${deployit.username}</username> <password>${deployit.password}</password> <serverAddress>${deployit.server}</serverAddress> <port>${deployit.port}</port> <deletePreviouslyDeployedDar>true</deletePreviouslyDeployedDar> <timestampedVersion>false</timestampedVersion> <cancelTaskOnError>false</cancelTaskOnError> <deployables> <was.War name="petclinic-war"> <contextRoot>petclinic</contextRoot> <fileUri>maven:com.xebialabs.deployit.demo.petclinic:PetClinic:war:1.0</fileUri> <tags> <value>server1</value> </tags> </was.War> </deployables> <environmentId>${deployit.container}</environmentId> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> </project>
