How to replace a value in web.xml with a Maven property?

Question

I have a Maven project that downloads some test files into its build directory ./target/files. These files should then be available to a servlet, which I can ea

You can simply use maven filtering resources:

    ...
    
      
        src/main/resources
        true
      
      ...
    
    ...
  
  ...

You can also combine this and would like to filter some files whereas others shouldn't be filtered:

   
      
        src/main/resources
        true
        
          **/*.xml
        
      
      
        src/main/resources
        false
        
          **/*.xml
        
      
      ...
    

Put appropriate placeholders into the files you would like having replaced things like ${home}.
