Steve- You rock. It works perfectly. Thank you so much. I'm off to the
races.

Hi Adam,
You could interpolate ${url} in your tomcat-maven-plugin configuration:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<url>${url}</url>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
and then provide a property value for "url" on the cmdline:
mvn -Durl="myurl" tomcat:deploy
As an alternative, for example in case you have a fixed list of URLs to
which you want to deploy, you could use profiles to provide more
convenient aliases, e.g.:
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>FirstURL</id>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<url>http://first.example.org</url>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</profile>
<profile>
<id>SecondURL</id>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<url>http://second.example.org</url>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</profile>
...
</profiles>
And then activate the appropriate profile on the cmdline, e.g.:
mvn -PSecondURL tomcat:deploy
Hope it helps,
Steve
