Any documents for how to build the shib idp from the source code and how to run and debug the idp?

[Yaowen Tu]

Thanks all. I trying to changing some code and redeploying the project.

What I have done:
1. Added a logging in UsernamePasswordLoginHandler.java
2. cd to "java-shib-idp2"(not the java-shib-idp2-main folder)
3. Ran: mvn -P release -DskipTests install

The wiki says all the generated file is under "target" folder. I do see the
jar files and bunch of other folders.

What I am looking for is the "war" file which I can directly deploy to the
Tomcat environment.

Can you tell me where can I get this war file, or what else I need to do to
re-generate the war file?

It looks like I need to copy some jars to the original IDP install
location, and re-run the install script. Is that correct? Is the new
shibboleth-identityprovider-2.3.8.jar(I only changed
UsernamePasswordLoginHandler.java file) the only jar I need to copy? or
anything else? I don't want to get messed up, so I am asking here first.


Thanks,
Yaowen
