If applicationContext-domain.xml is a resource within a sub-project with
packaging="jar", then it should be accessible using the classpath: pseudo
protocol from any projects that depend on the sub-project.

For example:

<context-param>
      <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
      <param-value>classpath:applicationContext-domain.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

A better practive, IMO, is to place the application context XML document in
the project-specific package.  Then you could have something like:

<context-param>
      <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
      <param-value>
            classpath:com/example/myproj/applicationContext.xml
            classpath:com/example/myproj/domain/applicationContext.xml
            classpath:com/example/myproj/web/applicationContext.xml
      </param-value>
</context-param>

Where com/example/myproj/applicationContext.xml contains bean definitions
common to both domain and web, any beans defined in
com/example/myproj/domain/applicationContext.xml will override beans with
the same id as those defined in com/example/myproj/applicationContext.xml,
same thing for com/example/myproj/web/applicationContext.xml vis-a-vis
com/example/myproj/domain/applicationContext.xml

It's better to be hated for who you are
than loved for who you are not

If you also use those files in the domain project, they shouldn't be in the
WEB-INF directory because you would have to duplicate them. It wouldn't be
a
very good design. So your issue isn't related to Maven but to your
application structure. You should fix this by specifying the following
entries in your web.xml file :

<context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>

>     <param-value>
>       applicationContext-web.xml
>       applicationContext-domain.xml
>     </param-value>
>   </context-param>


Simple as that.
