remote deploy on tomcat with CARGO fails with TIMEOUT

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 sec开发者_如何学Conds):

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>

    </container>

                <artifactId>...</artifactId>
                <type>war</type>

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.
