How to separate data- and ui-models during build time?

The services-war-app requires data- und ui-models to be provided in different classpath locations in order for them to be uploaded during server initialization procedure.

In <PROJECT_NAME> we currently keep data- and ui-models in the same folder in order to keep the ui designer workspace simple. How can we separate these models during build time so that the services-war-app is able to pick them up during initialization?

The maven build in <PROJECT_NAME> will use an ant invocation:

<plugin>
	<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
	<executions>
		<execution>
			<phase>generate-sources</phase>
			<configuration>
				<target>
					<ant dir="${project.basedir}" antfile="${project.basedir}/src/main/build/build.xml" target="split-document-models" />
				</target>
			</configuration>
			<goals>
				<goal>run</goal>
			</goals>
		</execution>
	</executions>
</plugin>

The ant build then does the separation:

<project name="cosmo-claims-models" default="split-document-models" basedir=".">
	<taskdef name="xmltask" classname="com.oopsconsultancy.xmltask.ant.XmlTask">
		<classpath>
			<pathelement path="${basedir}/target/ant-lib/xmltask.jar" />
		</classpath>
	</taskdef>
	<taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties">
		<classpath>
			<pathelement location="${basedir}/target/ant-lib/ant-contrib.jar" />
		</classpath>
	</taskdef>

	<target name="split-document-models">
		<foreach param="documentModel" target="copy-document-model-to-dir">
			<path>
				<fileset dir="${basedir}/src/main/resources/model/workspace">
					<include name="*.xml" />
				</fileset>
			</path>
		</foreach>
	</target>

	<target name="copy-document-model-to-dir">
		<xmltask source="${documentModel}">
			<copy path="namespace-uri(/*)" property="documentModelNamespace" />
		</xmltask>
		<if>
			<equals arg1="http://www.mgm-tp.com/a12/platform/overview/model" arg2="${documentModelNamespace}" />
			<then>
				<copy file="${documentModel}" todir="${basedir}/target/classes/model/picus" />
			</then>
			<elseif>
				<equals arg1="http://www.mgm-tp.com/a12/picus/model/v2" arg2="${documentModelNamespace}" />
				<then>
					<copy file="${documentModel}" todir="${basedir}/target/classes/model/picus" />
				</then>
			</elseif>
			<elseif>
				<equals arg1="http://www.mgm-tp.com/a12/melies/model" arg2="${documentModelNamespace}" />
				<then>
					<copy file="${documentModel}" todir="${basedir}/target/classes/model/melies" />
				</then>
			</elseif>
			<else>
				<fail message="Unable to handle ${documentModel}." />
			</else>
		</if>
	</target>
</project>

The task definition com.oopsconsultancy.xmltask.ant.XmlTask refers to the xmltask ant task.

The above will write the model files to either target/classes/model/picus or ${basedir}/target/classes/model/melies depending on the xml namespace of the model.
