Maven will not be used for tomcat; gives the error "405"

I am trying to deploy a simple JSF application on a Tomcat 8 server on my local computer. When I run mvn tomcat: deploy, I get the following feedback:

Apparently, Maven finds the server, but cannot deploy it. I looked around interwebs and found that this could be due to maven trying to use the "PUT" command. However, after looking at the following answer , I added this code to my tomcat web.xml in the default servlet:

<init-param>
    <param-name>readonly</param-name>
    <param-value>false</param-value>
</init-param>

However, it does not seem to have any effect. Do you have any further tips on what I can do to make this work?

I am using Maven 3.1.1 and Tomcat 8.0.1.
