Maven web application

As mentioned in my POC, I used maven to develop the sample application.

You need latest maven installed on your system.

Execute this command to create a web application structure.

mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.travel -DartifactId=travel -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp

Replace the pom.xml with this xml. This is the final pom of my POC. Notice the exclusion of asm and cglib libraries in hibernate dependency and explicitly defining asm version 2.2.3 and cglib 2.1_3. It's because there was confict between asm library versions required by hibernate and cxf.

After this you can import this project in Eclipse. Go to File > Import > General > Maven Projects. For this m2eclipse plugin needs to be installed in your Eclipse.
