Packaging WAR makes jpa setup fail with Roo 1.2.0.RELEASE

[stivlo]

Is there any reason that, with Spring Roo 1.2.0.RELEASE [rev 39eb957], if I specify packaging WAR, I can't add a jpa setup?

roo> project --topLevelPackage org.obliquid.jsf1 --java 6  --packaging WAR
Created ROOT/pom.xml
Created ROOT/src/main/resources
Created ROOT/src/main/resources/log4j.properties
roo> jpa setup --database H2_IN_MEMORY --provider HIBERNATE 
File '/home/stefano/workspace/jsf/appo/src/main/resources/META-INF/spring/applicationContext.xml' does not exist

The workaround is just don't set packaging WAR and then it works.

Regards,

Have you checked the JIRA? This sort of problem could be fixed in the Roo nightlies.

This is working as designed. You've specified that you want a WAR artifact, but you also want to put persistence code in your web project, which Roo does not allow. If you want to do a Roo 1.1.x style application, do not specify a packaging value. This option is used is intended to be used in multi-module Maven projects
