maven build helper plugin issue

Question

I'm using maven build helper to automatically add integration-test/java and integration-test/resources folders to my project classpath. It works great when I run my tests with JUnit in Eclipse, but got a problem when I ran the web project where Tomcat always pick up the test resources instead of the production one.

My project structure is something like this:

DaoProject
    src/main/resources/datasource.properties
    src/main/resources/spring-data.xml
    src/main/java/....
WebProject
    src/main/resources/appContext.xml
    src/integration-test/java/com/mypkg/controller/MyControllerIT.java
    src/integration-test/resources/datasource.properties

The appContext.xml imports spring-data.xml which in turn loads datasource.properties as a propterties source place holder.

appContext.xml contents:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx"
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"         xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"

Can you also post appContext.xml and spring-data.xml? – AxxA Osiris Oct 17 '13 at 06:41 — AxxA Osiris, Oct 17 '13 at 06:41
I would see more use for him posting his `pom.xml`. – Sander Verhagen Oct 17 '13 at 07:14 — Sander Verhagen, Oct 17 '13 at 07:14

I think that the problem is with the way you load the datasource.properties file. Try specifying the entire path in the location attribute of the PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer:

<context:property-placeholder location="classpath:src/main/resources/datasources.properties"/>

Hope this helps.

Thank you but actually I don't have problem with loading the wrong datasource.xml, as I have only one datasource.xml. It is datasource.properties I have issue with, because I have 2 properties files with the same name. – dnang Oct 17 '13 at 08:13
Oh, my mistake. But the same thing applies to that as well. Specify the entire path. I'll edit my answer. – AxxA Osiris Oct 17 '13 at 08:20
I know, but the problem is I want to use my test properties file as well. If I use the full path like you suggested, Eclipse will not pick up my test resources when I run my test class (e.g. MyControllerIT.java) – dnang Oct 17 '13 at 09:00
