Trying to create maven dynamic web project in eclipse with java and clojure

Question

I have created maven-archetype-webapp project in Eclipse. And I want to use Clojure code in Java. So, there is my core.clj file:

(ns coq.core
 (:gen-class
   :name coq.core
    :methods [#^{:static true} [foo [int] void]]))

(defn -foo [i] (println "Hello from Clojure. My input was " i))

(defn -main [] (println "Hello from Clojure -main." ))

There is my single servlet with error on core.foo(123):

package com.javaandclojure;

import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

import coq.*;

@WebServlet({ "/*"})
public class Main extends HttpServlet {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
            HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        System.out.println("inside get!");
        core.foo(123);// core cannot be resolved
        request.setAttribute("number", 42);
        request.getRequestDispatcher("/index.jsp").forward(request, response);
    }
}

Some scrinshots from eclipse:

Maven Build with goals:" clean package" gives it:

Maybe I should have used another maven archetype?

Answer 1

That is because the Java compiler is being run before the clojure compiler.

If you force the Java compilation to take place after the clojure-maven-plugin it will work. Add these lines after the clojure-maven-plugin :

<plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.2</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>default-compile</id>
            <phase>none</phase>
        </execution>
        <execution>
            <id>default-testCompile</id>
            <phase>none</phase>
        </execution>
        <execution>
            <id>java-compile</id>
            <phase>compile</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>compile</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
        <execution>
            <id>java-testCompile</id>
            <phase>test-compile</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>testCompile</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

Answer 2

I would suggest that you create a project with 2 modules so it is clear what depends on what. If your Java code has to depend on your Clojure code, then the java module (war?) should depend on the clojure module.
