Running Cargo From Maven antrun Plugin

I have a maven (multi-module) project creating some WAR and EAR files for JBoss AS 7.1.x.

For one purpose, I need to deploy one generated EAR file of one module to a fresh JBoss instance and run it, call some REST web service calls against it and stop JBoss. Then I need to package the results of these calls that were written to the database.

Currently, I am trying to use CARGO and the maven ant run plugin to perform this task.

Unfortunately, I cannot get the three (maven, ant run and CARGO) to play together. I don't have the uberjar that is used in the ant examples of cargo. How can I configure the ant run task so that the cargo ant task can create, start, deploy my JBoss? Ideally the one unpacked and configured by the cargo-maven2-plugin in another phase?

Or, is there a better way to achieve my goal of creating the database?

I cannot really use the integration-test phase, as it is executed after the package phase. So, I plan to do it all in compile phase using ant run.

To clarify again:

I need to do the following: start JBoss; deploy a WAR; wait until the startup of the WAR is complete; deploy an EAR file; wait until the EAR has initialized it's database; Call some web services in the implemented by the EAR; stop JBoss; package the database.

All these steps need to be strictly sequential.

The following part gives you an impression how to do that. You must change the details. In the given case i use a Tomcat. This will download the Tomcat archive uncompress and install Tomcat locally...

 <plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId>
    <artifactId>cargo-maven2-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
      <wait>false</wait>
      <container>
        <containerId>tomcat${tomcat.major}x</containerId>
        <zipUrlInstaller>
          <url>http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-${tomcat.major}/v${tomcat.version}/bin/apache-tomcat-${tomcat.version}.tar.gz</url>
          <extractDir>${project.build.directory}/extract/</extractDir>
          <downloadDir>${project.build.directory}/download/</downloadDir>
        </zipUrlInstaller>
        <output>${project.build.directory}/tomcat${tomcat.major}x.log</output>
        <log>${project.build.directory}/cargo.log</log>
      </container>
      <configuration>
        <home>${project.build.directory}/tomcat-${tomcat.version}/container</home>
        <properties>
          <cargo.logging>high</cargo.logging>
          <cargo.servlet.port>9080</cargo.servlet.port>
          <cargo.tomcat.ajp.port>9008</cargo.tomcat.ajp.port>
        </properties>
      </configuration>
    </configuration>
    <executions>
      <execution>
        <id>start-container</id>
        <phase>pre-integration-test</phase>
        <goals>
          <goal>start</goal>
          <goal>deploy</goal>
        </goals>
        <configuration>
          <deployer>
            <deployables>
              <deployable>
                <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
                <artifactId>mod-war</artifactId>
                <type>war</type>
                <pingURL>http://localhost:9080/mod-war</pingURL>
                <pingTimeout>30000</pingTimeout>
                <properties>
                  <context>mod-war</context>
                </properties>
              </deployable>
            </deployables>
          </deployer>
        </configuration>
      </execution>
      <execution>
        <id>stop-container</id>
        <phase>post-integration-test</phase>
        <goals>
          <goal>stop</goal>
        </goals>
      </execution>
    </executions>
  </plugin>
