Hello Maven users
I am having a problem getting filtering to work with property values. In a
hibernate.cfg.xml I have the database password specified as "${db.password}"
and now I'm trying to get the password in there when it's copied over. I
have:
<build>
<filters>
<filter>src/main/filters/${env}_${targetHost}.properties</filter>
</filters>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
<filtering>true</filtering>
<includes>
<include>hibernate.cfg.xml</include>
</includes>
</resource>
</resources>
[...]
</build>
I know this is working since I have some other properties (specified in the
relevant ${env}_${targetHost}.properties) that I'm filtering too, and they
get interpolated correctly.
If I put something like the following in my pom.xml:
<properties>
<db.password>${project.groupId}</db.password>
</properties>
Or
<properties>
<db.password>somepasswordvalue</db.password>
</properties>
then it works, and the value is substituted correctly.
However, I want to be able to set the password in my settings.xml -- I don't
want to put it in my source code. But if I set a property (say
"db.actual.password") in a profile in my settings.xml and put this in my
pom.xml:
<properties>
<db.password>${db.actual.password}</db.password>
</properties>
then I land up with the string literal ("${db.actual.password}") in my
filtered hibernate.cfg.xml.
I've tested with 'mvn help:effective-settings" that the value of
db.actual.password is being set correctly.
Am I using the filtering mechanism incorrectly? (I would have thought this
is a common sort of use case.) If anyone can point out where I'm going wrong
I'd be grateful ...
Thanks
Toni
