PortnumberMojo

Portnumber Mojo

The portnumber mojo can be used to get an unoccupied port number for use in integration tests. This is desirable if you're often running parallel integration test builds with tomcat.

The mojo runs in the initialization phase, you can use the maven expression ${portnumber} afterwards (eg. to specify the port in the tomcat maven plugin, to filter resources used by test scripts etc.). Sometimes you'll get a portnumber that's one too high, as integration test builds often invoke another maven process. Since 1.20 you can also use the ${previousportnumber} expression in order to get the correct one.

Use it like this:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.deegree</groupId>
  <artifactId>deegree-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <id>generate-portnumber</id>
      <goals>
        <goal>generate-portnumber</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>
