I'm trying to deploy web application using Cargo Maven plugin on remote Glassfish server (Edition 3.1.1 (build 12)). Glassfish server as well as Java code located on different Linux servers (Ubuntu). I've configured all necessary properties in pom file and tested deployment on Windows machine. It works. But it fails on Linux Ubuntu with interesting exception:
27-Jun-2012 14:36:05 [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.cargo:cargo-maven2-plugin:1.2.1:deploy (default-cli) on project my-web-project-app: Execution default-cli of goal org.codehaus.cargo:cargo-maven2-plugin:1.2.1:deploy failed: Deployment has failed: null -> [Help 1]

Did anybody use maven Cargo plugin on Linux for remote application deployment? Or maybe somebody know what is the problem here?
Did you ever find a solution? I'm running into this problem when I try to deploy to a different server, but if I change the host to localhost, the deployment works as expected.
I faced tha same problem, with localhost it was everything fine, and when I tried to deploy remotely the same null error came.
What I did is, I deleted, and installed everything from scratch on the remote server. So the same Glassfish installation was present on my local machine, and the remote server.
After that everything was fine.
P.S: This can be achieved by copying your local domain on your remote host.
