Deploy to $CATALINA_HOME using maven cargo plugin - maven

Question

I use cargo-maven2-plugin to deploy war files to a running remote tomcat container. Now I need to copy files to $CATALINA_HOME/myfolder. I do this using ant-run/scp/ssh.
But is it possible to do this with the cargo-maven2-plugin or does it only operate on the application/webapps level?

Answer 1

Try cargo with installed deployer and existing configuration
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId>
<artifactId>cargo-maven2-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.4.5</version>
<configuration>
<container>
<containerId>tomcat7x</containerId>
<home>${env.CATALINA_HOME}</home>
</container>
<configuration>
<type>existing</type>
<home>${env.CATALINA_HOME}</home>
</configuration>
<deployer>
<type>installed</type>
</deployer>
</configuration>
</plugin>
My sample project works this way
$ mvn cargo:deploy
[INFO] --- cargo-maven2-plugin:1.4.5:deploy (default-cli) # sample-war ---
[INFO] [edDeployerDeployMojo] Resolved container artifact org.codehaus.cargo:cargo-core-container-tomcat:jar:1.4.5 for container tomcat7x
