Maven Jboss plugin configuration for a multi-module project having a child module as WAR - maven

Question

I am working on a maven multi-module project having the following folder structure.
+---parent_module
+---module1
+---module2
+---module_web
How do I configure 'jboss-as-maven-plugin' for a local and remote deploy? Note that I want to deploy the child module_web which is the WAR residing inside the parent_module. I ran command 'mvn clean install' and the build completed successfully and the module_web.war file was created.
Then I ran the mvn command 'mvn -e -X package jboss-as:deploy' from parent_module to deploy the WAR to the jboss container, I get the following error.
[INFO]
------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] Failed to execute goal

Can anyone please let me know what am I doing wrong with the plugin configuration? It would be of great help if you share any tutorial or maven-jboss document which explains the steps to configure the maven-jboss plugin for a multi-module project having a child module as WAR.
Thanks.
