Is there a way of modifying the web.xml at build time using Maven

I think that the ideal solution would involve maintaining a single
web.xml that could be modified at build time.
Sure. I do this with profiles such as 'env-live' 'env-test' and
'env-local'. That is, the auth filter is different in the live
environment, when running the integration tests, and when running
'local' on my workstation.
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>${auth.filter.name}</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
For example,
<profile>
<id>env-local</id>
<activation>
<property>
<name>env</name>
<value>local</value>
</property>
</activation>
<properties>
<auth.filter.name>localhostFilter</auth.filter.name>
</properties>
</profile>
Here's what the plugin config looks like. I put web.xml in a separate
directory so I could filter it and nothing else. This may not be
necessary anymore, I think I started doing it with an earlier verison
of the war plugin. Adjust as necessary. :)
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<webResources>
<webResource>
<directory>${basedir}/src/main/webapp-filtered</directory>
<filtering>true</filtering>
<includes>
<include>**/*.xml</include>
</includes>
</webResource>
</webResources>
</configuration>
</plugin>
I think I had problems trying to filter in the <!-- and --> for
comments, but then I realized that rather than trying to comment
various things in and out, I should just filter in the name of the
filter I wanted.
