Description

« Hide

Not sure where exactly to put this, because in some ways the existing web app approach technically works I guess this may fall into a feature request.

The problem is that I want to point my project at an existing source controlled web app. My company decided against the IntelliJ standard of having a resources directory that gets copied to the ROOT of the web app upon deployment/compile.

Here is what would be useful; in the Web Resource Directories section the dialog for each entry should have:

path
relative path
list of excluded directories
checkbox for recursive (true/false)

This would allow two standard entries that mimmick normal webapp deployments and it would allow me the flexibility to use IntelliJ and abide by my companies various directory policies.

path: {path/to/webapp/WEB-INF}
relativePath: /WEB-INF
excluded-directories: none
recursive: true

path: {path/to/webapp/}
relativePath: /
excluded-directories: WEB-INF (and optionally META-INF)
recursive: true

All

This is the existing dialog that I'd like to add the excluded directories list and recursive checkbox to.

This belongs to IDEA Web module rather then Fabrique.

To make it really useful, I would like to see a couple of tree views in the web resources configuration panel, similar to the Paths tab. The left tree should display all of the folders that are included in the content based on the paths tab. The right one should show a "deployment view" of the web resources directories. The user should be able to select a folder in the left tree and drag it over to the right tree placing it in the hierarchy where it needs to be. There should also be options to add new (sub)folders to the deployment view tree as well as including/excluding the content sub-folders in the deployment view tree.

Another idea would be more concrete paths like path/to/webapp/WEB-INF automatically exclude those more generic like path/to/webapp. Would that work for you?

I mean this could work the same way it currently works for modules: If certain module A c0ontent directory lies strictly under other module B content it automatically excluded from B content.
