perhaps you should think about this differently... create a deployer for
tomcat that looks at your repository and deploys the latest release or if you
_really_ have to the latest snapshots...
i have found that using cargo is much better if I use the real war as
an 'underlay' which the test war gets overlayed onto... - see dependencies on
wars somewhere around - that way i can build a real application and overwrite
a few things for testing in my container of choice
