Intercept copy task in war pluggin

hi guys,

I was wondering if it is possible to intercept the copy task in war plugging while copying static resources such as .js and .css to the exploded dir or war file. I would like to to rev filenames.

Thanks, Jorge

Hey Jorge,
The war task provides a 'rename’method. Have a look at the gradle userguide (http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/working_with_files.html#sec:copying_files) or have a look at the gradle dsl reference for details

cheers,
René

You might also need to use the ‘rootSpec’ property for this to work in the ‘war’ task.

Thanks, for both answers. Actually i figured out what i need

Besides renaming files, i need to change the name of the .js ,.css files destination directory inside the .war file. I

Change from js/main/ to js/main/v1 and put all my .js and .css file. Is there any copy task in war pluggin?

Try looking up some examples that use the ‘eachFile’ method from the copySpec
