MSdeploy skip particular file type - msdeploy

I am trying to skip a sub folder and certain file types while deploying a webapp. I tried the below
Test.deploy.cmd /T /M:test.noreply.com /
P:a /G:False "-skip:Directory="Config\\Testdata\\Resx" -skip:filePath,absolutePath="Config\\Testdata\\*.xml""
The above is not working for some reason, am i missing something?

i think below worked for me
-skip:file="Config\\Testdata\\.*\.xml"

Setting Jetty resourcebase to static file embedded in the same jar file

I am trying to access static resource (eg. first.html) packed inside the same .jar file (testJetty.jar), which also has a class which starts the jetty (v.8) server (MainTest.java). I am unable to set the resource base correctly.
The structure of my jar file (testJetty.jar):
testJetty.jar
first.html
MainTest.java
==
Works fine on local machine, but when I wrap it in jar file and then run it, it doesn't work, giving "404: File not found" error.
I tried to set the resourcebase with the following values, all of which failed:
a) Tried setting it to .
resource_handler.setResourceBase("."); // Results in directory containing the jar file, D:\Work\eclipseworkspace\testJettyResult
b) Tried getting it from getResource
ClassLoader loader = this.getClass().getClassLoader();
File indexLoc = new File(loader.getResource("first.html").getFile());
String htmlLoc = indexLoc.getAbsolutePath();
resource_handler.setResourceBase(htmloc); // Results in D:\Work\eclipseworkspace\testJettyResult\file:\D:\Work\eclipseworkspace\testJettyResult\testJetty1.jar!\first.html
c) Tried getting the webdir
String webDir = this.getClass().getProtectionDomain()
.getCodeSource().getLocation().toExternalForm();
resource_handler.setResourceBase(webdir); // Results in D:/Work/eclipseworkspace/testJettyResult/testJetty1.jar
None of these 3 approaches worked.
Any help or alternative would be appreciated
Thanks

The solutions provided in this thread work but I think some clarity to the solution could be useful.
If you are building a fat jar and use the ProtectionDomain way you may hit some issues because you are loading the whole jar!
class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation().toExternalForm();
So the better solution is the other provided solution
contextHandler.setResourceBase(
YourClass.class
.getClassLoader()
.getResource("WEB-INF")
.toExternalForm());
The problem here is if you are building a fat jar you are not really dumping your webapp resources into WEB-INF but are probably going into the root of the jar, so a simple workaround is to create a folder XXX and use the second approach as follows:
contextHandler.setResourceBase(
YourClass.class
.getClassLoader()
.getResource("XXX")
.toExternalForm());
Or change your build tool to export the webapp files into that given directory. Maybe Maven does this on a Jar for you but gradle does not.
Not unusually, I found a solution to my problem. The 3rd approach mentioned by Stephen in Embedded Jetty : how to use a .war that is included in the .jar from which Jetty starts? worked!
So, I changed from Resource_handler to WebAppContext, where WebAppContext is pointing to the same jar (testJetty.jar) and it worked!
String webDir = MainTest.class.getProtectionDomain()
.getCodeSource().getLocation().toExternalForm(); ; // Results in D:/Work/eclipseworkspace/testJettyResult/testJetty.jar
WebAppContext webappContext = new WebAppContext(webDir, "/");
It looks like ClassLoader.getResource does not understand an empty string or . or / as an argument. In my jar file I had to move all stuf to WEB-INF(any other wrapping dir will do). So the code looks like
contextHandler.setResourceBase(EmbeddedJetty.class.getClassLoader().getResource("WEB-INF").toExternalForm());
so the context looks like this then:
ContextHandler:744 - Started o.e.j.w.WebAppContext#48b3806{/,jar:file:/Users/xxx/projects/dropbox/ui/target/ui-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar!/WEB-INF,AVAILABLE}

chef copying a directory

I'm trying to copy a directory from one folder to another folder like so:
directory "C:\\test\\go" do
recursive true
action :create
end
cookbook_file "C:\\Automation" do
source "C:\\Automation"
path "C:\\test\\go"
action :create_if_missing
end
It creates the target folder C:\test\go but does not copy anything.
The documentation says that it should also handle directories so any ideas why it does not?
I've also tried a wildcard source "C:\Automation\*" and also tried forward slashed...
Here is the solution:
ruby_block "get the windows resources" do
block do
FileUtils.mkdir_p mod_path
FileUtils.cp_r(Dir["#{RESOURCE_DIR}/*.exe"], Chef::Config[:file_cache_path])
end
end

trying to use log4j.xml file within WinRun4j

has anyone tried to use a log4j.xml reference within a WinRun4j service configuration. here is a copy of my service.ini file. I have tried many configuration combinations. this is just my latest attempt
service.class=org.boris.winrun4j.MainService
service.id=SimpleBacnetIpDataTransfer
service.name=Simple Backnet IP DataTransfer Service
service.description=This is the service for the Simple Backnet IP DataTransfer.
service.startup=auto
classpath.1=C:\Inbox\DataTransferClient-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar
classpath.2=WinRun4J.jar
classpath.3=C:\Inbox\log4j-1.2.16.jar
arg.1=C:\Inbox\DataTransferClient.xml
log=C:\WinRun4J-Service\SimpleBacnetIpDataTransfer\NBP-DT-service.log
log.overwrite=true
log.roll.size=10MB
[MainService]
class=com.shiftenergy.ws.App
vmarg.1=-Xdebug
vmarg.2=-Xnoagent
vmarg.3=-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8787,server=y,suspend=n
vmarg.4=-Dlog4j.configuration=file:C:\Inbox\log4j.xml
within the log4j.xml file, there is reference to a log file for when the application runs. if I run the java -jar -Dlog4j.configuration=file:C:\Inbox\log4j.xml ...., the log file is created accordingly. if I register my service and start the service, the log file does not get created.
has anyone had success using the -D log4j configuration, using winrun4j?
thanks
I think that you provided the vmarg.4 parameter incorrectly. In your case it has to be like:
vmarg.4=-Dlog4j.configurationFile=[Path for log4j.xml]
I am also using the same and in my case, it is working perfectly fine. Please see below example:
vmarg.1=-Dlog4j.configurationFile=.\log4j2.xml
Have you tried setting the path in your code instead:
System.setProperty("log4j.configurationFile", "config/log4j.xml");
I'm using a relative path to a folder named config that contains log4j.xml. An absolute path is not recommended, but may work as well.
Just be sure to set this before making any calls to log4j, including any log4j config settings or static method calls!
System.setProperty("log4j.configurationFile", "config/log4j.xml");
final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(Main.class);
log.info("Starting up");
I didn't specify the log4j path in the ini file, only placed log4j.xml file at the same place the jar was placed.
Also without specify the
System.setProperty("log4j.configurationFile", "config/log4j.xml");
In the Java project it was stored in (src/main/resources) and will be included in the jar, but it will not be that one used if placed outside the jar.

convert .WAR for auto deploy in karaf/servicemix

I've got very simple .WAR containing example servlet. I'm able to deploy it in servicemix using the following command:
osgi:install file:///home/seiho/apache-servicemix-4.4.2/deploy/TestServlet.war?Bundle-SymbolicName=TestServlet&Webapp-Context=/TestServlet
And then see it in my browser. But only with full path to a file, e.g.: localhost:8080/TestServlet/index.html or localhost:8080/TestServlet/TestServlet (my servlet is TestServlet class).
I'd like to launch the index.html page automatically after entering: localhost:8080/TestServlet
how to do it?
MORE IMPORTANT
I need a way to convert the .WAR file or servlet project (I've got the sources) so that new .WAR file can be auto-deployed by copying it to $SERVICEMIX_HOME/deploy directory.
I've tried editing the MANIFEST.MF file, but with no success. Probably I'm doing something wrong.
Thanks for any advice/help.
To be recognised as a wab, you need to add a context path header to your manifest:
Web-ContextPath: TestServlet
It's working now! I was doing my MANIFEST.MF according to this page: http://team.ops4j.org/wiki/display/ops4j/Pax+Web+Extender+-+War+-+OSGi-fy
The problem was that for some reason "Bundle-Version: 1.0" line was required as opposed to optional as stated on that page.
Honestly, just adding the Bundle-Version fix-it.
I knew it was something wrong with the MANIFEST.MF and after Holly Cummins' question I played with it a bit more. Thanks Holly.
I still can't do anything with the manual site launching (have to manually enter the index.html).
http://localhost:8080/TestServlet/ gives me this:
HTTP ERROR 404
Problem accessing /TestServlet/. Reason:
Not Found
Powered by Jetty://
http://localhost:8080/TestServlet/index.html gives me proper site.

Meteor reading CSV files to populate database don't work after deploy

So I have a bunch of data that I want to load into database from CSV. I've hacked together a solution that works in local development, but when I deploy to meteor.com, it no longer works.
I'm loading the csv file in the folder /server/data/:
function readData(name){
var fs = __meteor_bootstrap__.require('fs');
var path = __meteor_bootstrap__.require('path');
var base = path.resolve('.');
var data = fs.readFileSync(path.join(base, '/server/data/', name));
return CSVToArray(data);
}
After I deploy to meteor.com, i got:
INFO Error: ENOENT, no such file or directory '/meteor/containers/98eb1286-120b-ee84-8e98-ce673fa2eab7/public/data/categories.csv'

at /meteor/containers/98eb1286-120b-ee84-8e98-ce673fa2eab7/bundle/server/server.js:132:7
Any idea how I can get meteor to see the csv file after deployment?
I realize this question is old, but it still ranks high on certain keyword searches. So, if you're using Meteor 0.6.5+, you can use the new Assets API.
The issue is that meteor only bundles files that it knows about (ie. JS/CSS/HTML/+more depending on which packages you use) up when it deploys.
Try putting the file you need in the public directory (this directory is exempt from the above rule).
Thanks to SamuelDavis and Tom Coleman's tips. I ended up figuring out what the problem is. Turns out the bundled app is no longer formated as client, public, and server. I ended up debugging it by running meteor bundle to create a tarball. extract the tarball and took a look inside to find where the data folder is. Tom was also right that the data folder needed to be in the public folder in order to get bundled in.
It appears that the base directory is not in the same location that contains the file '/server/data/xxx.csv'.
Before you try anything else, log the base path after calling "var base = path.resolve('.'). If that value is what you expected, log the files that appear in that directory. Again if the files are what you expected, navigate into the /server folder and print out those directories and so forth.
This should pinpoint you to which folder and/or directory is missing and should indicate where you should place the CSV file in future.
