Maven: How to rename the war file for the project?

Question

I have a project bird with following components in pom.xml

   com.myorg
    bird&l         


        

Answer 1

You can use the following in the web module that produces the war:

<build>
  <finalName>bird</finalName>
 . . .
</build>

This leads to a file called bird.war to be created when goal "war:war" is used.

Answer 2

Lookup pom.xml > project tag > build tag.

I would like solution below.

<artifactId>bird</artifactId>
<name>bird</name>

<build>
    ...
    <finalName>${project.artifactId}</finalName>
  OR
    <finalName>${project.name}</finalName>
    ...
</build>

Worked for me. ^^

Answer 3

You need to configure the war plugin:

<project>
  ...
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.3</version>
        <configuration>
          <warName>bird.war</warName>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
  ...
</project>

Answer 4

You can follow the below step to modify the .war file name if you are using maven project.

Open pom.xml file of your maven project and go to the tag <build></build>,

1. In that give your desired name between this tag : <finalName></finalName>.

   ex. : <finalName>krutik</finalName>

   After deploying this .war you will be able to access url with:
   http://localhost:8080/krutik/

2. If you want to access the url with slash '/' then you will have to specify then name as below:

   e.x. : <finalName>krutik#maheta</finalName>

   After deploying this .war you will be able to access url with:
   http://localhost:8080/krutik/maheta
