For detailed info about the logic and usage patterns of Example42 modules read README.usage on Example42 main modules set.

USAGE - Basic management

• Install jboss using your distro package, if available

    class { 'jboss': }
  

• Install the latest jboss version from upstream site (note: this option, which is the default one, requires the presence of the unzip command on the system)

    class { 'jboss':
      install             => 'source',
    }
  

• Install the latest jboss version from upstream site using puppi. You will have a 'puppi deploy jboss' to deploy and update jboss.

    class { 'jboss':
      install             => 'puppi',
    }
  

• Install source from a custom url to a custom install_destination path. The following parameters apply both for "source" and "puppi" install methods. Puppi method may be used to manage deployment updates (given the $install_source is updated). By default install_source is set to upstream developer and install_destination to Web (App) server document root Pre and post installation commands may be already defined (check jboss/manifests/params.pp) override them only if needed. Url_check and url_pattern are used for application checks, if monitor is enabled. Override only if needed.

    class { 'jboss':
      install             => 'source',
      install_source      => 'http://deploy.example42.com/jboss/jboss.tar.gz',
    }
  

• Install Jboss 7 (by default Jboss 6 is installed) Versions 4, 5, 6, and 7 are supported for source or puppi installation (Note: Not all the combinations have been tested)

    class { 'jboss':
      install             => 'source',
      version             => '7',
    }
  

• Remove jboss

    class { 'jboss':
      absent => true
    }
  

• Enable auditing without without making changes on existing jboss configuration files

    class { 'jboss':
      audit_only => true
    }
  

• Manage different Jboss Instances

    class { 'jboss':
      disable  => '', # Jboss main service is not managed
    }
  
    jboss::instance { 'app1':
      createuser => false, # Default user jboss is already created by jboss class
      bindaddr    => '127.0.0.1',
      port        => '8080',
    }
  
    jboss::instance { 'app2':
      user     => 'app2',
      bindaddr => '127.0.0.1',
      port     => '8081', # You can't have, obviously, 2 instances binding to the same address and port
    }
  

USAGE - Overrides and Customizations

• Use custom sources for main config file

    class { 'jboss':
      source => [ "puppet:///modules/lab42/jboss/wp-config.php-${hostname}" , "puppet:///modules/lab42/jboss/wp-config.php" ],
    }
  

• Use custom source directory for the whole configuration dir

    class { 'jboss':
      source_dir       => 'puppet:///modules/lab42/jboss/conf/',
      source_dir_purge => false, # Set to true to purge any existing file not present in $source_dir
    }
  

• Use custom template for main config file

    class { 'jboss':
      template => "example42/jboss/wp-config.php.erb",
    }
  

• Automaticallly include a custom subclass

    class { "jboss:"
      my_class => 'jboss::example42',
    }
  

USAGE - Example42 extensions management

• Activate puppi (recommended, but disabled by default) Note that this option requires the usage of Example42 puppi module

    class { 'jboss': 
      puppi    => true,
    }
  

• Activate puppi and use a custom puppi_helper template (to be provided separately with a puppi::helper define ) to customize the output of puppi commands

    class { 'jboss':
      puppi        => true,
      puppi_helper => 'myhelper', 
    }
  

• Activate automatic monitoring (recommended, but disabled by default) This option requires the usage of Example42 monitor and relevant monitor tools modules

    class { 'jboss':
      monitor      => true,
      monitor_tool => [ 'nagios' , 'puppi' ],
    }
