Prerequisites

Due to the multitude of Java implementations you might want to use, this cookbook does not attempt to address the installation of a JRE/JDK. Please make sure that Java has been configured on the machine prior to the application any resources or recipes shipped in this cookbook.

Usage

Simply include the recipe where you want Tomcat installed.

Due to the ways that some system init scripts call the configuration, you may wish to set the java options to include JAVA_OPTS. As an example for a java app server role:

name "java-app-server"
run_list("recipe[tomcat]")
override_attributes(
  'tomcat' => {
    'java_options' => "${JAVA_OPTS} -Xmx128M -Djava.awt.headless=true"
  }
)

Running Multiple Instances

To run multiple instances of Tomcat, populate the instances attribute, which is a dictionary of instance name => array of attributes. Most of the same attributes that can be used globally for the tomcat cookbook can also be set per-instance - see resources/instance.rb for details.

If they are not set for a particular instance, the base, home, config_dir, log_dir, work_dir, context_dir, and webapp_dir attributes are created by modifying the global values to use the instance name. For example, under Tomcat 7, with home /usr/share/tomcat7, home for instance "instance1" would be set to /usr/share/tomcat7-instance1. The port attributes - port, proxy_port, ssl_port, ssl_proxy_port, ajp_port, and shutdown_port - are not inherited and must be set per-instance, ajp_redirect_port is also not inherited but defaults to ssl_port. The ajp_listen_ip is also not inherited and must be set per instance, when not set it defaults to listening on all adresses. Other attributes that are not set are inherited unmodified from the global attributes. Each instance must define shutdown_port, and at least one of port, ssl_port or ajp_port.

If you only want to run specific instances and not the "base" tomcat instances, you can set run_base_instance to false.

Here is an example partial role:

...
"override_attributes": {
  "tomcat": {
    "run_base_instance": false,
    "instances": {
      "instance1": {
        "port": 8081,
        "shutdown_port": 8006
      },
      "lookup": {
        "port": 8082,
        "shutdown_port": 8007,
        "java_options": "-Xms1G -Xmx2G"
      }
    },
    ...
  }
  ...
}

Managing Tomcat Users

The recipe tomcat::users included in this cookbook is used for managing Tomcat users. The recipe adds users and roles to the tomcat-users.xml conf file.

Users are defined by creating a tomcat_users data bag and placing Encrypted Data Bag Items in that data bag. Each encrypted data bag item requires an 'id', 'password', and a 'roles' field. The data bag key is retrieved from the default location /etc/chef/encrypted_data_bag_secret.

{
  "id": "reset",
  "password": "supersecret",
  "roles": [
    "manager",
    "admin"
  ]
}

If you are a Chef Solo user the data bag items are not required to be encrypted and should not be.

Defining Environment Variables

If your Tomcat application requires the usage of environment variables, you can define those into the environment attribute.

This is a sample on how to set-up some environment variables:

...
"override_attributes": {
  "tomcat": {
    "environment": [
      {
        "VariableName": "LOCAL_HOME",
        "VariableValue": "/usr/root"
      },
      {
        "VariableName": "CONFIG_URL",
        "VariableValue": "http://127.0.0.1/config"
      }
    ]
  }
  ...
}

Experimental Functionality

This cookbook is currently undergoing a ground up rewrite that will convert it to a pure library cookbook, more appropriate for the multitude of ways that Tomcat can be installed. The existing attribute driven installs and tomcat_instance provider will eventually be deprecated in favor of a provider for installation, service management, and 1 or more providers for configuration.

tomcat_install

tomcat_install installs an instance of the tomcat binary direct from Apache's mirror site. As distro packages are not used we can easily deploy per-instance installations and any version available on the Apache archive site can be installed.

properties

  • version: The version to install. Default: 8.0.32
  • path: Full path to the install directory. Default: /opt/tomcat_INSTANCENAME_VERSION
  • tarball_base_path: The base path to the apache mirror containing the tarballs. Default: 'http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/'
  • sha1_base_path: The base path to the apache mirror containing the sha1 file. Default: 'http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/'
  • exclude_docs: Exclude ./webapps/docs from installation. Default true.
  • exclude_examples: Exclude ./webapps/examples from installation. Default true.
  • exclude_manager: Exclude ./webapps/manager from installation. Default: false.
  • exclude_host-manager: Exclude ./webapps/host-manager from installation. Default: false.

example

Install an Tomcat 8.0.32 instance named 'helloworld' to /opt/tomcat_helloworld_8_0_32/ with a symlink at /opt/tomcat_helloworld/

tomcat_install 'helloworld' do
  version '8.0.32'
end

tomcat_service

tomcat_service sets up the installed tomcat instance to run using the appropriate init system (sys-v, upstart, or systemd)

properties

  • path: Full path to the install directory. Default: /opt/tomcat_INSTANCENAME
  • env_vars: An array of hashes containing the environmental variables for Tomcat's setenv.sh script. Note: If CATALINA_BASE is not passed it will automatically be added as the first item in the array. Default: [ {'CATALINA_BASE' => '/opt/INSTANCE_NAME/'}, {'CATALINA_PID' => '$CATALINA_BASE/bin/tomcat.pid'} ]

actions

  • start
  • stop
  • disable
  • restart

example

tomcat_service 'helloworld' do
  action :start
  env_vars [{CATALINA_PID => '/my/special/path/tomcat.pid'}]
end

  • If a custom path is provided the trailing / will be stripped to prevent // in scripts
  • Start action in tomcat_service now starts the service instead of starting / enabling the service
  • Stop and disable actions no longer create the init script first. Instead they only perform their actions if the init script exists

v1.2.0 (2016-02-25)

  • Added systemd and upstart support to tomcat_service custom resource
  • tomcat_install no longer creates a logs dir in /var/logs/ as logging is up to the users
  • custom paths no longer throw an error in tomcat_install
  • path property in tomcat_install is now renamed install_path to match the tomcat_service resource
  • the test cookbook now installs two different instances and includes the java setup the same way a wrapper cookbook would
  • ubuntu 15.10 has been removed from the Test Kitchen config since there is no published box for this version yet
