        org.apache.maven.plugins
        maven-war-plugin
        2.0.2
        
            
                
                    ${basedir}/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF
                    true
                    WEB-INF
                    
                        **/xmlgateway-context.xml
                     
                
            
        
    

Add the above to your pom.xml. EDIT: Just to explain what the above conf is doing. With this added, mvn is going to filter files under src/main/webapp/WEB-INF and in particular filter the included files xmlgateway-context.xml and after filtering it is going to push the files in WEB-INF folder (thats what the target tag is saying).

Update if something is not clear.
