How to instruct Maven to ignore my main/resources/persistence.xml in favor of test/…?

Question

I have two persistence.xml files, for the sake of testing:

• src/main/resources/META-INF/persistence.xml
• src/test/resources/

Answer 1

I have been testing these and other similar solutions without involving the pom.xml... In my opinion, the best way to solve this issue is to have two application-context.xml (one only to be used in test classes) and to add a custom persistence unit manager bean in the test's application-context.xml. Like this example:

  
     classpath*:META-INF/test.persistence.xml
  
  

This solution runs. :)
