Using Maven settings.xml properties inside Spring context

Question

I\'ve got a Maven settings.xml file in my ~/.m2 directory; it looks like this:

Answer 1

I recommend you to use a property file in the middle. I mean: Spring application would load properties values form the property file using context:property-placeholder and Maven would be the one who replace ${...} variables using values from settings.xml using filtering.

Your property file:

db.driver=${db.driver}
db.url=${db.url}
username=${username}
password=${password}

Your servlet-context.xml file

    ${db.driver}
    ${db.url}
    ${username}
    ${password}

In your pom.xml

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