[appfuse-user] hibernate.cfg.xml incorrectly included by war overlay for Appfuse2 modular archetypes

[Rob van Oostrum]

Didn't see this mentioned before going through my archives, so  
forgive me if this is old news, but I thought it might save some  
people some troubleshooting. Of course, it would be nice to have this  
incorporated in the modular archetypes.

When I create a new project using the modular Spring MVC archetype,  
there is a hibernate.cfg,xml file in core/src/main/resources, which  
gets ignored at runtime because maven-war-plugin overlays a copy in  
WEB-INF/classes that gets picked up instead.

I added this to my web project's pom.xml to fix this:

<build>
  <plugins>

    [...]

    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
      <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>2.0.2</version>
      <configuration>
        <dependentWarExcludes>WEB-INF/classes/hibernate.cfg.xml</ 
dependentWarExcludes>
      </configuration>
    </plugin>

    [...]

  </plugins>
</build>


Cheers
