How to set spring active profiles with maven profiles

Question

I have an application with maven as a build tool.

I am using maven profiles to set up different properties from different profiles.

What i would like to do i

Answer 1

There is a more elegant way to switch between 2 maven+spring profiles simultaneously.

First, add profiles to POM (pay attention - maven+spring profile is activated by single system variable):

    
        postgres
        
            true
            
                spring.profiles.active
                postgres
            
        
        
            
                postgresql
                postgresql
                9.1-901.jdbc4
            
        
    
    
        h2
        
            
                spring.profiles.active
                h2
            
                   
        
            
                com.h2database
                h2
                1.4.191
            
        
    

Second, set default profile for spring (for maven it is already set in POM). For web application, I inserted following lines to web.xml:

   spring.profiles.default
   postgres

Third, add profile-dependent beans to your config. In my case (XML config), it is:

    
    
        
    
    
    
        
            my.test.model
        
    

...

    
        
        
        
        
    



    
        
        
        
        
    

Now it is possible to:

• Run my web-app on Postgres DB with mvn jetty:run or mvn jetty:run -Dspring.profiles.active=postgres commands
• Run my web-app on H2 DB with mvn clean jetty:run -Dspring.profiles.active=h2
