Maven WebApp META-INF context.xml

Question

I am using Maven 3 and I am trying to add META-INF folder under webapp folder. So I am trying to do the following:

src
 main
  webapp
   META-INF
    context.xml         


        

Answer 1

Use the tag instead. Above answer using copies everything in src/main/resources to the root of your web application, which is probably not what you want to do nor an example you want to follow.

Answer 2

Put your META-INF folder within src/main/resources.

Put this on your pom.xml... sorry i missed it before;

<build>
<plugins>
    <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>3.0.0</version>
            <configuration>


                <archive>
                    <manifest>
                        <addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
                        <classpathPrefix>lib/</classpathPrefix>
                    </manifest>
                </archive>

                <webResources>
                    <resource>
                        <!-- this is relative to the pom.xml directory -->
                        <directory>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources
                        </directory>

                    </resource>
                </webResources>



                <warName>mywar</warName>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

the web resources tag is what is important... Hope this helps
