Maven maven-war-plugin not replacing values in web.xml
Maven version: 3.5.4
My web directory is not in the standard location. It is in /web
Maven War config
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.2.2</version>

...
</properties>
web.xml snippet
<cookie-config>
...
<secure>${web.session.cookie.secure}</secure>
...
</cookie-config>
The property "${web.session.cookie.secure}" is not being replaced in the web.xml, and the property name is retained in the war file generated. I have not been able to pinpoint the configuration error. I am working in Intellij and get the same result whether I build the artifact off the intellij menu, or issue the mvn war:exploded command.
I am assuming that it may have something to do with the web directory location and a missing configuration item. The maven build runs as expected other than the issue with the properties not being replaced in the output.
Any ideas as to why the replacements would not be taking place using the filtering of the maven-war-plugin?

Have you checked your target directory path? Try <directory>${basedir}/web/WEB-INF</directory> and also look in the effective-pom how the path is being interpreted.

Glad it helped. I added the answer for reference. It behaves the same on Linux, so the problem is probably something else. Try checking the effective-pom or running "mvn clean install -X" for debug.

The maven-war-plugin
uses ${basedir}
as the location of the pom, so the target directory for filtering should be referenced via relative path from there.
<resource>
<filtering>true</filtering>
<directory>${basedir}/web/WEB-INF</directory>
<includes>
<include>**/web.xml</include>
</includes>
</resource>
The actuall path could be examined in mvn help:effective-pom
