[Building Sakai] Sakai 2.9 Entity Providers

[Aaron Zeckoski]

Paul,
The issue is that you have commented out this part (the build resource
definition) in the pom.xml file:

<build>
        <sourceDirectory>src/java</sourceDirectory>
        <resources>
            <resource>
                <directory>${basedir}/src/webapps/WEB-INF/</directory>
                <includes>
                    <include>*.xml</include>
                </includes>
            </resource>
        </resources>
        <finalName>witse-entity-provider</finalName>
    </build>

As a result, you component is not getting the spring xml file included
as part of it when it is built so you spring beans are not starting up
(which includes your provider). Sakai looks for that components.xml
file in that location when starting a component up. If it is not there
then there is not a failure, but your service won't be handled by
spring without it.
