remote deploy on tomcat with CARGO fails with TIMEOUT

Question

I'm running into a problem when doing a remote deploy with cargo-maven2-plugin (1.0.6). The war I'm deploying is rather large and the default 20 seconds are not enough to do the full deploy. The actual exception is (after 20 seconds):

Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.cargo:cargo-maven2-plugin:1.0.6:deploy (default-cli) on project myproject: Execution default-cli of goal org.codehaus.cargo:cargo-maven2-plugin:1.0.6:deploy failed: Failed to deploy [path/myproject.war]: Connection timed out: connect -> [Help 1]

I have cargo configured as follows:

<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId>
<artifactId>cargo-maven2-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0.6</version>
<configuration>
    <wait>true</wait>

    </container>
    <configuration>

    </configuration>

                <type>war</type>
                <properties>

                </properties>

            </deployable>
        </deployables>

It does not seem to be a case of container timeout . Most likely, it is unable to connect to tomcat at the specified host and port.
