I am trying to run tomcat though cargo. Tomcat is already installed. cargo:deploy is working fine but when I try cargo:run I get the following error
If you specify a containerId, you also need to specify a containerUrl.
If I specify a containerURL I get the following error
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.cargo:cargo-maven2-
plugin:1.4.13:run (default-cli) on project ctm: Unable to parse configuration
of mojo org.codehaus.cargo:cargo-maven2-plugin:1.4.13:run for parameter
containerURL: Cannot find 'containerURL' in class org.codehaus.cargo.maven2.configuration.Container

This is my Maven config

According to cargo documentation; type "existing" should use an existing container installation. I don't think I need containerURL unless the type is "standalone". I don't understand why I'm getting the containerURL error.
Documentation on type is here: https://codehaus-cargo.github.io/cargo/Existing+Local+Configuration.html
I think the documentation is unclear. I think cargo:run
always uses a standalone local configuration, hence the description
If the plugin configuration defines a container with a standalone local configuration, it will create the configuration.
So it's probably ignoring your existing local configuration.
