Maven deploy multiple wars to embedded server for integration tests

Question

I have had no issue running a maven war project on an embedded server for its own integration tests, but now I need to run multiple wars and test from a different project.

Answer 1

Watch out, the DEPLOYABLES element is a child of plugin/configuration, NOT plugin/configuration/configuration.

The example above should be :

<plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId>
            <artifactId>cargo-maven2-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.2.2</version>
            <configuration>
                <container>...</container>
                <configuration>
                    <type>standalone</type>
                    <properties>
                        <cargo.servlet.port>8085</cargo.servlet.port>
                    </properties>
                </configuration>
                <deployables>
                     <deployable>
                            <artifactId>webapp1</artifactId>
                            <groupId>com.test</groupId>
                            <type>war</type>
                            <pingURL>http://localhost:8085/testapp/</pingURL>
                            <properties>
                                <context>testapp</context>
                            </properties>
                      </deployable>
                      <deployable>
                            <artifactId>webapp2</artifactId>
                            <groupId>com.test</groupId>
                            <type>war</type>
                            <pingURL>http://localhost:8085/testapp2/</pingURL>
                            <properties>
                                <context>testapp2</context>
                            </properties>
                      </deployable>
                 </deployables>
             </configuration>
        </plugin>
 </plugins>

Hope that helps !

I was able to achieve this using the cargo-maven2-plugin.

Here are the relevant pieces of the pom for anyone who is interested...
