Filtering web.xml?

I am trying to filter my web.xml with no luck.

Current structure:
pom.xml
--> src
--->main
---->webapp
----->WEB-INF
------>web.xml

I have the war plugin defined as follows:

      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.3</version>
        <configuration>
          <webResources>
            <resource>
              <directory>${basedir}/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF</directory>
              <filtering>true</filtering>
              <includes>
                <include>*.xml</include>
              </includes>
            </resource>
          </webResources>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>

After I build I can look in the target directory and the web.xml that
lives in the exploded dir is correctly filtered.  However the web.xml
that gets packaged up in the war is not filtered.  So its like my
filtered web.xml got copied into target after the war was built.  I
imagine that I am not filtering the web.xml correctly, any ideas?

Thanks!

web.xml is a special file. You have to set
filteringDeploymentDescriptors to true to filter it (and no need to
mess up with <webResources> then)

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/war-mojo.html#filteringDeploymentDescriptors

Please, try to add second section of resources:

            <resource>
              <directory>${basedir}/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF</directory>
              <filtering>false</filtering>
              <excludes>
                <exclude>*.xml</exclude>
              </excludes>
            </resource>

Regards,
Tomek
