I have tried a simular scenario to use docker to run my application. In my situation i wanted to start docker with tomcat running the war. Then at the integration-test phase of maven start the cucumber/phantomjs integration test on the docker. The example implementation is documented at https://github.com/abroer/cucumber-integration-test. You could extend this example to push the docker image to your private repo when the test is successfull. The pushed image can be used in any enviroment from development to production.
