Hi there,

just a question as I'm not familiar with tomcat developement and maven=20
integration; I think this is a developement topic to be discussed or at lea=
st=20
to be thought of.

Is it possible to make tomcat use its own maven repository inside? This wou=
ld=20
mean if I generate a war file to be deployed, I don't package the needed li=
bs=20
referenced in maven, for tomcat should provide them.

Then tomcat is to look into the war file, check the pom.xml and get the lib=
s=20
from maven repository itself to make sure that the web application can use =
the=20
needed libs.

There might be conflicts between two releases of a lib; this must be handle=
d by=20
such a tomcat maven plugin. As the war defines the release version in its m=
aven=20
config file, tomcat is to be able to use the specified one instead of only=
=20
looking for the right package.

The benefit would be smaller war files and only one lib for many projects.

So here again my question: is it possible to do it this way or, if not, is=
=20
this "feature" to be implemented (at least as a module for tomcat)?

Thanks for any reply
