--------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Richards, I do assume that you are refering to {{META-INF}} exclusive usage
throughout the code, right?
Ideally, the config would look like this:
{code:xml}
<containerDeploymentDescriptor>
<file/>
<targetPath/>
</containerDeploymentDescriptor>
{code}
This wouldn't limit you to Tomcat style.

> Key: MWAR-307
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MWAR-307
> Project: Maven WAR Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.4
> Reporter: Richard W. Eggert II
>
> The containerConfigXML configuration parameter allows the user to specify a
> container-specific deployment descriptor file (context.xml, jboss-web.xml,
> jetty-web.xml, sun-web.xml, weblogic.xml, etc.) to include in the WAR. The
> plugin places this file in the WAR file's META-INF directory.
> However, expecting the file in this location is behavior unique to Tomcat.
> Every other webapp container in the universe (and possibly parallel universes
> - I can't be too sure) expects the container-specific deployment descriptor
> to be located in WEB-INF (alongside web.xml), though some containers are
> flexible in this regard.
> The current plugin behavior makes this configuration parameter unusable when
> packaging for any container other than Tomcat, forcing users to configure the
> file as a "webResource" instead.
> The location within the WAR where the container-specific deployment
> descriptor is placed ought to be configurable. I would even say that WEB-INF
> should be the default, since that is where every container except Tomcat
> expects it to be (and is where it logically should be, since that is where
> web.xml goes), but that would unfortunately break it for projects that
> already rely on the current behavior.
