Cargo maven plugin allows you to deploy your webapp in a container (tomcat, jetty, jboss, …).
Here is an example that shows how to deploy your webapp in tomcat container and launch integration tests.

Add cargo maven plugin

We ask maven to fire the goal ‘start’ at the phase ‘pre-integration-test’ to start the container.
This will have the benefit to be able to launch integration tests at the phase ‘integration_test’.
Then we will fire the goal ‘stop’ at the phase ‘post-integration-test’ to stop the container.

Launch integration tests

When the container is started, we launch maven-failsafe-plugin goal ‘integration-test’ at phase ‘integration-test’.
