  <p>The problem is that I don't understand where the problem comes from.</p>
  
  <p>My configuration on Maven is like this :</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;server&gt;
    &lt;id&gt;Catalina&lt;/id&gt;
    &lt;username&gt;admin&lt;/username&gt;
    &lt;password&gt;admin&lt;/password&gt;
   &lt;/server&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And the pom.xml of the project contains</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;configuration&gt;
  &lt;url&gt;http://localhost:8080/manager/text&lt;/url&gt;
  &lt;server&gt;Catalina&lt;/server&gt;
  &lt;path&gt;/WebGoat&lt;/path&gt;
  &lt;attachArtifactClassifier&gt;exec&lt;/attachArtifactClassifier&gt;
  &lt;/configuration&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried all the solutions that I found on stackoverflow and the internet.
  thx for your help :)</p>
