【Maven】Maven部署Web项目报错webxml attribute is required

webxml attribute is required问题

mvn install一个web项目时，报错如下：

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-war-plugin:2.1.1:war 
(default-war) on project com.alpha.webapp: Error assembling WAR: 
webxml attribute is required (or pre-existing WEB-INF/web.xml if executing in update mode) -> [Help 1]
[ERROR] 
[ERROR] To see the full stack trace of the errors, re-run Maven with the -e switch.
[ERROR] Re-run Maven using the -X switch to enable full debug logging.
[ERROR] 
[ERROR] For more information about the errors and possible solutions, please read the following articles:
[ERROR] [Help 1] http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/MojoExecutionException

原因：

maven的web项目默认的webroot是在src\main\webapp。如果在此目录下找不到web.xml就抛出以上的异常。

解决：

需要在pom.xml中增加<webResources>配置，如下：

  <build>
	<finalName>simple-webapp</finalName>
	<plugins>
		<plugin>
			<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
			<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
			<version>2.1.1</version>
			<configuration>
				<webResources>
					<resource>					
					<!-- this is relative to the pom.xml directory -->
					<directory>WebContent</directory>
					</resource>
				</webResources>
			</configuration>
		</plugin>
	</plugins>
  </build>

或者增加<webXml>配置，如下：

 <build>
	<finalName>simple-webapp</finalName>
	<plugins>
		<plugin>
			<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
			<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
			<version>2.1.1</version>
			<configuration>

                             <webXml>WebContent\WEB-INF\web.xml</webXml>        

			</configuration>
		</plugin>
	</plugins>
  </build>

<directory>WebContent</directory>配置为网站根目录，例如本例的目录为：

现在mvn install该项目就能构建成功：

将war部署到JBoss

从本地Maven库中找到com.alpha.webapp-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.war，拷贝到JBoss/server/*/deploy目录。

如果已打开JBoss，因为支持热部署，马上就能在控制台看到如下信息，表明部署成功：

打开网页，看效果：

com.alpha.webapp-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT是war文件名称，hello是web.xml中定义的<url-pattern>
