Gretty configuration to specify ServletContainerVersion to be used

Help/Discuss Plugin Portal
1

Hi All, We started evaluating Gretty (https://github.com/akhikhl/gretty) plugin for our projects and I am looking to see if we have any [Gretty Configuration](http://akhikhl.github.io/gretty-doc/Gretty-configuration.html) to specify the Tomcat Version / ServletContainerVersion like ‘8.0.26’ for ‘tomcat8’ along with ServletContainer as ‘tomcat8’ or ‘jetty9’

if I understand correct, looks like, Gretty seems to has fixed container versions based on ServletContainer - tomcat7, tomcat8, jetty9 and etc… Do we know if got any ways to set this?

Regards,
Mohan

I’d suggest you open an issue on the GitHub page of the plugin directly? The maintainer of the plugin is committed to fix issues and release a new version soon.

@Andrey_Hihlovskiy Could you please follow up on this issue?

@mkornipati, did you open new issue for this?

@Andrey_Hihlovskiy @bmuschko here it is https://github.com/akhikhl/gretty/issues/232

And as workaround, we are following below approach

   def forceTomcatVersion(project, tomcatVersion) {
        def forceTomcatModules =  ["org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-jasper:${tomcatVersion}",
	                "org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core:${tomcatVersion}",
	                "org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-websocket:${tomcatVersion}",
	                "org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-logging-log4j:${tomcatVersion}",
	                "org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-el:${tomcatVersion}"]
        if(tomcatVersion.startsWith(TOMCAT_8_VERSION_PREFIX)){
	        project.configurations.grettyRunnerTomcat8.resolutionStrategy.forcedModules = forceTomcatModules
        } else {
			project.configurations.grettyRunnerTomcat7.resolutionStrategy.forcedModules = forceTomcatModules
		}
    }
}

Thank you for useful piece of code.
I’ll try to implement explicit control over servlet container versions in the coming Gretty 1.4.2 release (due date 01.03.2017).
