Cargo embedded tomcat: custom context.xml

Question

I am using cargo to automate war deployment on Tomcat. However, i get a trouble: i can`t replace default tomcat files with my custom as my files are copied first and then get overwritten by default. I spent hours for resolving this problem but nothing works. Here is my pom.xml

    <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
                         <executions>
                             <execution>

                                 </goals>
                                 <configuration>
                                     <outputDirectory>${basedir}/target/apache-tomcat-${version.tomcat}/conf/</outputDirectory>

                                     </resources>
                                 </configuration>
                             </execution>
                             <execution>

                                     <resources>
                                         <resource>
                                             <directory>src/test/resources/</directory>
                                             <includes>

                             </execution>
                         </executions>
                     </plugin>

and here is cargo using:

i see that i dont have here tag <configfiles> but i did that, so dont expext to find mistake here. The main problem is that embedded tomcat are copied later then my custom files and overrides them. – Aperiodic

One of solution is here: Is it possible to supply Tomcat6's context.xml file via the Maven Cargo plugin?

My working configuration (with jdbc DataSource pool) looks like:

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId>
            <artifactId>cargo-maven2-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.5.0</version>
            <configuration>
                <container>
                    <containerId>tomcat8x</containerId>
                    <systemProperties>
                        <file.encoding>UTF-8</file.encoding>
                        <spring.profiles.active>tomcat,datajpa</spring.profiles.active>
                    </systemProperties>
                    <dependencies>
                        <dependency>
                            <groupId>org.postgresql</groupId>
                            <artifactId>postgresql</artifactId>
                        </dependency>
                    </dependencies>
                </container>
                <configuration>
                    <configfiles>
                        <configfile>
                            <file>src/main/resources/tomcat/context.xml</file>
                            <todir>conf/Catalina/localhost/</todir>
