Maven Glassfish plugin - Handling redeploy/deploy/undeploy Failure

Question

I need to build and deploy the war into glassfish using maven(Problem explained below).

Currently I managed to deploy the war using maven glassfish plugin and I've used the goal redploy as shown in the POM below:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
 <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

 <artifactId>Myapp</artifactId>
 <packaging>war</packaging>
 <version>1.0</version>
 <name>APP WEB APP</name>
 <url>http://maven.apache.org</url>

 <build>

   <plugin>

       <name>${project.artifactId}</name>
       <artifact>${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}.war</artifact>
      </component>
     </components>
    </configuration>
    <executions>
     <execution>
      <phase>install</phase>
      <goals>
       <goal>redeploy</goal>
      </goals>
     </execution>
    </executions>
   </plugin>
  </plugins>
 </build>

</project>

Problem: say there is already a war deployed and when I execute the command mvn clean install and something goes wrong during the deployment.Since I've used the goal as redeploy the war would 1st do a undeploy and then do a deploy.In my case this POM cannot be used for the next time because there is a failure and the war does not exist.

Help required Please help me to achieve a check in POM whether the war is deployed or not and then based on the result I need to initiate goals deploy or undeploy which suites.

Say there is no war deployed i need to call glassfish:deploy in POM.

Thanks for your time in advance

Found my answer Here:

Redeploy remote glassfish with cargo fails

No matter there is or isn't a war deployed the cargo plugin takes care of the above mentioned problem.

Main Catch is adding

<cargo.runtime.args>force=true</cargo.runtime.args>
