I'm not trying to.  It's the applicationContext.xml file that gets changed by 
Maven filtering, then it gets put into the war file by the tomcat plugin.  I 
want the plugin to run the war run, not the still in the project with the 
placeholders.  That's what I thought it did.

I do, and it works perfectly.  It creates my context files with the database 
data in them as it should.  These files are built into a war file.  I want the 
Tomcat plugin to run the war file.  

When I manually deploy the war file that is created, it works perfectly.  I 
thought the point of the Tomcat plugin was that I didn't have to manually 
deploy the war file.
