Elastic Path Maven Profiles

Elastic Path Maven Profiles

Maven build profiles are sets of configuration settings for building your software in different environments. For example, if you have tomcat-developer as an active profile, Maven builds your projects according to the tomcat-developer settings, which in this case builds your web applications into a deployable Tomcat WAR.

Elastic Path defines a number of build profiles in commerce-engine/pom.xml so you can build and deploy your Elastic Path Commerce platform on different application servers and databases. You can activate or deactivate the build profiles in your Maven settings.xml file that is located in your .m2 directory.

Application Server Profiles

The application server profiles are used to configure the type of WAR file generated by Maven. Choose the appropriate profile for your server.

Profile WAR file

tomcat-developer

Tomcat WAR with HTTP port 8080 and HTTPS port 8443

Additional profiles can be used to modify the Tomcat ports for for development:

Profile Description

ep-developer

Assigns separate ports for each webapp. See Running Webapps.
Note: Changing Profiles

If you switch application server profiles as you are developing, you must re-populate your database with the settings associated with these profiles.

Database Profiles

The database server profiles are used to configure the database the Elastic Path platform uses. Choose the appropriate profile for your database system.

Database Profile Database

mysql-dev-db

mssql-dev-db

Code Compliance Profiles

The code compliance profiles control the level of code compliance checking.

 Includes the extensions/packager/ext-deployment-package module, which creates a ZIP usable by the Pusher deployment tool.

with-demo-package

 Includes the extensions/packager/standalone-demo module, which creates a standalone demo ZIP. The standalone demo ZIP contains all necessary components to start up Elastic Path web applications.
