After a long googling, I didn't find how to do auto deploy for webshpere application using maven. Finally I have done successfully.

Here is the pom.xml:

Run maven goals like below:

mvn clean install was6:wsDefaultBindings was6:wsUninstallApp was6:installApp was6:wsStartApp

clean --> clean the project

install --> build the project

was6:wsDefaultBindings  --> before install app this must to call, will create default files      and bindings for WAS
was6:wsUninstallApp --> If we need to install a fresh application, call this before install the application
was6:installApp --> this will install application 
was6:wsStartApp --> installApp will only do installation and not start the application. After successfully installed we need to call this.

Note:
We can't deploy only WAR, need to have EAR.
