Configuring cargo to hot-deploy the application to a remote (and running) tomcat

Other cargo properties are listed here: http://cargo.codehaus.org/Configuration+properties

You can either specify the properties right in the pom.xml. However, the best practice is to put local environment specific settings in your local settings.xml. Here's an example.

vi ~/.m2/settings.xml

<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
                      http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
  <profiles>
    <profile>
      <id>selenium</id>
      <properties>
        <cargo.remote.username>XXX</cargo.remote.username>
        <cargo.remote.password>XXX</cargo.remote.password>
      </properties>
    </profile>
  </profiles>
</settings>
