Wildfly example

[hrstoyanov]

I wanted to post a working Wildfly 8 Final example, if someone needs it :

apply plugin: 'war' apply plugin: 'cargo'

buildscript { repositories { maven {url 'https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public'} jcenter() mavenCentral() }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'org.gradle.api.plugins:gradle-cargo-plugin:1.4'
    }

}

cargo {

    containerId = 'wildfly8x'

    remote {
        hostname = 'localhost'
        username = 'admin'
        password = 'admin'
    }

    local {
        jvmArgs = '-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8787,server=y,suspend=n'
        homeDir = file('/home/hristo/java/wildfly-8.0.0.Final')
    }

}

dependencies {

//... Your dependencies

//Java EE
providedCompile "javax:javaee-api:7.0"

//Cargo
cargo 'org.wildfly:wildfly-controller-client:8.0.0.Final'
cargo 'org.codehaus.cargo:cargo-ant:1.4.5'    

}

Starting with version 1.3 you don't need to provide the Cargo dependencies anymore. The plugin does this for you. Do you actually need to provide the dependency org.wildfly:wildfly-controller-client:8.0.0.Final? I'd think that org.codehaus.cargo:cargo-core-uberjar:1.4.5 declare a transitive dependency on it.

Other than that your configuration looks like any other container configuration. Do you think the documentation should be improved here? IMHO it already provides an example for it.

Benjamin, Here is what happens, if I comment out this dependency:

I think this should be something that needs to be addressed by Cargo itself (either as transitive dependency or documentation). Could you please ask this question on the Cargo user mailing list?

[hrstoyanov]

I wasted some time on my WildFly 8 set-up, so I wanted to show how my set-up deviated from the examples. Here are the tricks:

1. You will need maven {url 'https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public'}

in order too get jboss remoting downloaded.

See https://community.jboss.org/thread/237151

1. You will need the following dependencies

   cargo 'org.wildfly:wildfly-controller-client:8.0.0.Final' cargo 'org.codehaus.cargo:cargo-ant:1.4.5'

[bmuschko]

I understand that this kind of stuff can waste a lot of time. However, dependencies might get outdated in terms of their coordinates. I still think this is something that the Cargo project needs to handle and not this plugin. The plugin is just a wrapper around the library and provides a DSL. The core logic is Cargo. That's where this needs to be addressed.

[hrstoyanov]

I tried ... filing bugs with CODEHOUSE is not as straightforward ... sigh .. i will try later tonight

[bmuschko]

Any luck with this?

[hrstoyanov]

I sent an email to user@cargo.codehaus.org, referencing this thread and asked them to open an issue. It is up to you to keep this issue open, so CARGO developers can look at it, but most importantly, help other Wildfly developers.

[hrstoyanov]

Benjamin, Here is what I got over at the Cargo user mail list:

http://cargo.996258.n3.nabble.com/Wildfly-8-Final-unnecessary-dependencies-td18342.html

I think the dependency is needed, but maybe it is not clear from the cargo docs

[bmuschko]

I think you wrote "unnecessary" instead of "necessary". Could you please follow up? The Cargo developer didn't fully understand your question.

[bmuschko]

The dependencies for Wildfly are described on the Cargo webpage: http://cargo.codehaus.org/JBoss+Remote+Deployer#JBossRemoteDeployer-jboss. I am going to close the ticket. Your code might end up becoming an integration test though.

Just for the sake of completeness, here's a complete example with proper formatting:

apply plugin: 'war'
apply plugin: 'cargo'

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'org.gradle.api.plugins:gradle-cargo-plugin:1.5'
    }
}

repositories {
    maven {
        // org.wildfly:wildfly-controller-client:8.1.0.Final has a transitive dependency on 
        // org.jboss.remoting:jboss-remoting:4.0.3.Final, which is only found here:
        url 'https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public/'
    }
}

dependencies {
    providedCompile 'javax:javaee-api:7.0'

    // Without the wildfly-controller-client, you'll get following error:
    //   ContainerException: Failed to create deployer with implementation class WildFly8xRemoteDeployer
    cargo 'org.wildfly:wildfly-controller-client:8.1.0.Final'

    // Without cargo-ant you'll get following error:
    //   Problem: failed to create task or type cargo
    cargo 'org.codehaus.cargo:cargo-ant:1.4.8'
}

cargo {
    containerId = 'wildfly8x'
    local {
        homeDir = file('C:/Local/wildfly')
    }
    remote {
        hostname = 'localhost'
        username = 'user'
        password = 'pass'
    }
}

I'm posting this, because as a first time Gradle user, it took me a while to understand that maven {url 'https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public'} should be outside of the buildscript in contrast to what the first comment says.

Here are the full errors if someone ends up googling them. Missing cargo 'org.wildfly:wildfly-controller-client:8.1.0.Final':
