maven - Failed to execute cargo:start

I'm trying to configure cargo automatic deployment in my servlet project and I have these in pom.xml file:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId>
      <artifactId>cargo-core-api-module</artifactId>
      <version>1.4.3</version>

    </dependency>
        -->

        </deployer>
    </configuration>
</plugin>
<!-- End cargo plugin -->
     </plugins>
     <build>>

When I try to start cargo via mvn clean cargo:start I get BUILD FAILURE:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.cargo:cargo-maven2-plugin:1.4.3:start (default-cli) on project my-app: Unable to parse configuration of mojo org.codehaus.cargo:cargo-maven2-plugin:1.4.3:start for parameter deployables: Cannot find 'deployables' in class org.codehaus.cargo.maven2.configuration.Deployer -> [Help 1]

any idea? tnx.

According to the documentation "deployer" element can not contain "deployables" child element. To make things work you should place "deployables" under "configuration" element

<configuration>
      <container>
        [...]
      </container>
      <configuration>
        <type>standalone</type>
        [...]
      </configuration>
      <deployables>
        <deployable>
          <groupId>my.war.groupId</groupId>
          <artifactId>my-war</artifactId>
          <type>war</type>
        </deployable>
      </deployables>
    </configuration>

I noted that you write

How ${groupId} and ${artifactId} would be resolved ?!! Please try with static groupId and artifactId for the war app

 <deployer>
        <type>remote</type>
        <deployables>
            <deployable>
                <groupId>${groupId}</groupId>
                <artifactId>${artifactId}</artifactId>
                <type>war</type>
                <properties>
                    <context>latest</context>
                </properties>
            </deployable>
        </deployables>
    </deployer>
