Filtering properties files
Hi,
I could use some help with filtering properties files.
My project consists of 3 files: project.xml, maven.xml and
src/conf/log4j.properties (see below).
project.xml defines src/conf as a resource directory with filtering set
to true.
maven.xml defines a postGoal to war:webapp that copies the
log4j.properties in place using the ant:copy tag, wrapped in an
ant:filter tag.
src/conf/log4j.properties contains a token that should be expanded by
the filter tag.
Something seems to be missing, because running maven war triggers the
postGoal and does copy the file, but the token isn't expanded. Can
anyone help?
Thanks,
-Ralph.

Thanks Kenney. The short answer didn't help, but the long one did.
The key point seems to be that the copying is performed by
java:jar-resources, so adding the filter to a goal that's executed
later in the chain will obviously not work. I was mislead by the
following:
war:webapp:
[echo] Assembling webapp myapp
...
[copy] Copying 1 file to
/private/tmp/maven-filter/target/myapp/WEB-INF/classes
For the archives, here's my working maven.xml:
// file: maven.xml
<project xmlns:maven="jelly:maven" xmlns:ant="jelly:ant">
<preGoal name="java:jar-resources">
<ant:filter token="logfile" value="/opt/tomcat/logs/myapp.log"/>
</preGoal>
</project>

I know. That was a desperate attempt to trigger an additional filtering
copy, beacuse the built-in filter didn't work for me.
Cheers,

Long answer:
You can define a preGoal to java:jar-resources and define the
filter there ( <filter token="..." value="..."/> ).
Resources defined in project.xml get included in the artifact, so you
don't need to copy it to the WEB-INF/classes directory.
