duplicate entry error with maven eclipse and tomcat

[Jeroen Dijkmeijer <je...@dijkmeijer.com>]

> Hi,

> I'm working on a private/solo project  and I've set up a project  
> with maven on eclipse using the m2 plugin. A parent project and 2  
> maven subprojects (modules?). 1 module is a spring project, the  
> other a web project wicket.
> In the spring project I want to use profiles to dispatch the  
> database configuration per environment (dev, tst, uat, prd)
> In all of the environments I need an file which i call  
> application.properties and which is fed to a  
> PropertyPlaceHolderConfigurer like:
> <bean id="propertyConfigurer"  
> class 
> = 
> "org 
> .springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
>   	<property name="location"  
> value="classpath:application.properties" />
> </bean>
> apart from that I also want to unittest both projects (but starting  
> with the spring project) so I also have testResources element in my  
> pom, also containing the application.properties.
> The unittest are working fine, and I can successfully add the web
