Found Quick Solution on Mentioned Website...

http://www.avajava.com/tutorials/lessons/how-do-i-deploy-a-maven-web-application-to-tomcat.html

Working as expected in Eclipse and Sprint Test Suite

Note :- I have used clean tomcat:deploy, worked perfectly for me.

For tomcat 7 you're using the wrong goals. Try tomcat7:deploy and tomcat7:undeploy instead.

Though a late answer , someone might find this useful. If you are using maven3 and tomcat7.The below method worked for me.I was not aware of the change in application manager endpoint in tomcat7.

Environment - Apache Maven 3.0.4,apache-tomcat-7.0.34,Windows 7

Tomcat7 has changed its deployment end point from http://tomcatserver:8080/manager/html to http://tomcatserver:8080/manager/text .

So my pom.xml will be 

  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>tomcat-maven-plugin</artifactId>
     <configuration>
           <url>http://tomcatserver:8080/manager/text</url>
           <server>tomcat</server>
          <path>/myWebApp</path>
         </configuration>
  </plugin>

In tomcat-users.xml

<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
  <role rolename="manager-script"/>
  <role rolename="manager-jmx"/>
  <role rolename="manager-status"/>
  <role rolename="admin-gui"/>
  <role rolename="admin-script"/>

  <user username="root" password="root" roles="manager-gui,manager-script,manager-jmx,manager-status,admin-gui,admin-script"/>

In maven settings.xml

<server>
  <id>tomcat</id>
  <username>root</username>
  <password>root</password>
</server>

In context.xml , though this is optional and is not related to maven3 deployment to tomcat7 ,sometimes jar locking might happen,so to be on the safer side.

<Context  antiJARLocking="true" antiResourceLocking="true">

Now issue 

mvn tomcat:deploy

Remember to start tomcat before maven deployment.

If deployment is success , your application will be available at 

http://tomcatserver:8080/myWebApp

in tomcat 7 you should set 

<user username="admin" password="admin" roles="manager-script,manager-gui" />

to deploy using maven plugin

Add manager-gui to the roles:

<user username="admin" password="admin" roles="admin,manager,manager-gui" />

And restart Tomcat.

Make sure that your XML configuration files are in use. A simple way to do this is writing an unclosed tag inside them and checking the error messages. If you don't get any error message you've written in an unused XML.
