box server start with exploded WAR

Communities CommandBox CLI
1

Folks,

An option for Java Paas, like Elastic Beanstalk, is having an exploded WAR file in the app root. You make changes to your code, and can add JARs, configs etc to your WEB-INF. Then when you deploy, everything gets wrapped up into the WAR file again and pushed to the PaaS.

If I try and start a box server with an expanded WEB-INF for Lucee it just dies.

Is there anyway to get the box to just start up the servlet container and work with whatever I have in my apps WEB-INF instead?

Many thanks,

GB

This sounds like a great Denny question :slight_smile:

Have you played with the webConfigDir param to the start command. It appears to override the default WEB-INF folder that CommandBox uses (though it’s not called that). I’ve never actually tried playing with it though so your milage may vary.

Thanks!
