Add version for your project

1) Add version bean in you context

    <bean id="version" class="com.real.ecs.common.version.Version" init-method="init">
        <property name="buildVersion"><value>${build.version}</value></property>
        <property name="buildTime"><value>${build.time}</value></property>
        <property name="buildUser"><value>${build.user}</value></property>
    </bean>

2) Add build-version.properties in your classpath

build.version=${maven.build.version}
build.user=${maven.build.user}
build.time=${maven.build.time}

3. Add propertyConfigure to set your property valid.

	<bean id="propertyConfigurer" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
		<property name="locations">
			<list>
				<value>classpath:build-version.properties</value>
			</list>
		</property>
	</bean>

4. Add version servlet in your web.xml

	<servlet>
		<servlet-name>version</servlet-name>
		<servlet-class>
			com.real.ecs.common.version.VersionServlet
		</servlet-class>
		<load-on-startup>4</load-on-startup>
	</servlet>

	<servlet-mapping>
		<servlet-name>version</servlet-name>
		<url-pattern>/version</url-pattern>
	</servlet-mapping>

5. Add maven ant plugin in build section of your pom file to create filter

			<plugin>
				<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
				<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
				<executions>
					<execution>
						<id>create-filter</id>
						<phase>generate-sources</phase>
						<goals>
							<goal>run</goal>
						</goals>
						<configuration>
							<tasks>
								<!-- Generate filter file -->
								<tstamp>
									<format property="timestamp" pattern="MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss" />
								</tstamp>
								<condition property="username" value="UNKNOWN">
									<not>
										<isset property="username" />
									</not>
								</condition>
								<condition property="tag" value="UNKNOWN">
									<not>
										<isset property="tag" />
									</not>
								</condition>
								<property name="nl" value="&#xD;&#xA;" />
								<mkdir dir="${basedir}/target" />
								<echo file="${basedir}/target/filter.properties" message="maven.build.version=${pom.version}" append="true" />
								<echo file="${basedir}/target/filter.properties" message="${nl}" append="true" />
								<echo file="${basedir}/target/filter.properties" message="maven.build.user=${username}" append="true" />
								<echo file="${basedir}/target/filter.properties" message="${nl}" append="true" />
								<echo file="${basedir}/target/filter.properties" message="maven.build.time=${timestamp}" append="true" />
							</tasks>
						</configuration>
					</execution>
				</executions>
			</plugin>

6) add filter and resource in build section of pom to set the version, user and time for your property file in build phase.

		<filters>
			<filter>${basedir}/target/filter.properties</filter>
		</filters>
		<resources>
			<resource>
				<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
				<includes>
					<include>**/build-version.properties</include>
				</includes>
				<filtering>true</filtering>
			</resource>
			<resource>
				<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
				<excludes>
					<exclude>**/build-version.properties</exclude>
				</excludes>
				<filtering>false</filtering>
			</resource>
		</resources>
