Answer 1

first you have clone your git repository then automatically created folder in document folder.

then your war file extract and past your clone directory into webapps folder

and create test folder paste your code in folder and also root war file.

then your ulr in your folder name write and enter.

for example

like this.

git clone ssh://[e-mail]

paste your extract war file into your clone directory.

then fire git commmand

$ git add .
$ git commit -m "A checkin to my application"
$ git push

There is one major problem with your pom.xml, I think that makes your app not working on the openshift.com. You should add the following lines to your pom.xml

<profiles>
    <profile>
        <!-- When built in OpenShift the 'openshift' profile will be used when 
            invoking mvn. -->
        <!-- Use this profile for any OpenShift specific customization your app 
            will need. -->
        <!-- By default that is to put the resulting archive into the 'webapps' 
            folder. -->
        <!-- http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-building-for-different-environments.html -->
        <id>openshift</id>
        <build>
            <finalName>yourAppName</finalName>
            <plugins>
                <plugin>
                    <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>2.1.1</version>
                    <configuration>
                        <outputDirectory>webapps</outputDirectory>
                        <warName>ROOT</warName>
                    </configuration>
                </plugin>
            </plugins>
        </build>
    </profile>
</profiles>

I haven't tested this code with JBoss Application Server, so change your server to Apache Tomcat 7. that worked for me correctly.
