##Overview

The tomcat module lets you use Puppet to install, deploy, and configure Tomcat web services.

##Module Description

Tomcat is a Java web service provider. The tomcat module lets you use Puppet to install Tomcat, manage its configuration file, and deploy web apps to it. It supports multiple instances of Tomcat spanning multiple versions.

##Setup

###Setup requirements

The tomcat module requires puppetlabs-stdlib version 4.0 or newer. On Puppet Enterprise you must meet this requirement before installing the module. To update stdlib, run:

puppet module upgrade puppetlabs-stdlib

###Beginning with tomcat

The simplest way to get Tomcat up and running with the tomcat module is to install the Tomcat package from EPEL...

class { 'tomcat':
  install_from_source => false,
}
class { 'epel': }->
tomcat::instance{ 'default':
  package_name => 'tomcat',
}->

...and then start the service:

tomcat::service { 'default':
  use_jsvc     => false,
  use_init     => true,
  service_name => 'tomcat',
}

##Usage

###I want to install Tomcat from a specific source

To download Tomcat from a specific source and then start the service:

class { 'tomcat': }
class { 'java': }
tomcat::instance { 'test':
  source_url => 'http://mirror.nexcess.net/apache/tomcat/tomcat-8/v8.0.8/bin/apache-tomcat-8.0.8.tar.gz'
}->
tomcat::service { 'default': }

###I want to run multiple copies of Tomcat on a single node

class { 'tomcat': }
class { 'java': }

tomcat::instance { 'tomcat8':
  catalina_base => '/opt/apache-tomcat/tomcat8',
  source_url    => 'http://mirror.nexcess.net/apache/tomcat/tomcat-8/v8.0.8/bin/apache-tomcat-8.0.8.tar.gz'
}->
tomcat::service { 'default':
  catalina_base => '/opt/apache-tomcat/tomcat8',
}

tomcat::instance { 'tomcat6':
  source_url    => 'http://apache.mirror.quintex.com/tomcat/tomcat-6/v6.0.41/bin/apache-tomcat-6.0.41.tar.gz',
  catalina_base => '/opt/apache-tomcat/tomcat6',
}->
tomcat::config::server { 'tomcat6':
  catalina_base => '/opt/apache-tomcat/tomcat6',
  port          => '8105',
}->
tomcat::config::server::connector { 'tomcat6-http':
  catalina_base         => '/opt/apache-tomcat/tomcat6',
  port                  => '8180',
  protocol              => 'HTTP/1.1',
  additional_attributes => {
    'redirectPort' => '8543'
  },
}->
tomcat::config::server::connector { 'tomcat6-ajp':
  catalina_base         => '/opt/apache-tomcat/tomcat6',
  port                  => '8109',
  protocol              => 'AJP/1.3',
  additional_attributes => {
    'redirectPort' => '8543'
  },
}->
tomcat::service { 'tomcat6':
  catalina_base => '/opt/apache-tomcat/tomcat6'

###I want to deploy WAR files

tomcat::war { 'sample.war':
  catalina_base => '/opt/apache-tomcat/tomcat8',
  war_source => '/opt/apache-tomcat/tomcat8/webapps/docs/appdev/sample/sample.war',
}

The name of the WAR file must end with '.war'.

The war_source can be a local path or a puppet:///, http://, or ftp:// URL.

###I want to change my configuration

Tomcat does not restart after you update its configuration, unless you supply a notify metaparameter.

To remove a connector, for instance, start with a manifest like this:

tomcat::config::server::connector { 'tomcat8-jsvc':
  catalina_base         => '/opt/apache-tomcat/tomcat8-jsvc',
  port                  => '80',
  protocol              => 'HTTP/1.1',
  additional_attributes => {
    'redirectPort' => '443'
  },
  connector_ensure => 'present'
}

Then set connector_ensure to 'absent' and set notify to the service resource:

tomcat::config::server::connector { 'tomcat8-jsvc':
  catalina_base         => '/opt/apache-tomcat/tomcat8-jsvc',
  port                  => '80',
  protocol              => 'HTTP/1.1',
  additional_attributes => {
    'redirectPort' => '443'
  },
  connector_ensure => 'present'
  notify => Tomcat::Service['jsvc-default'],
}

###I want to manage a Connector or Realm that already exists

Describe the Realm or HTTP Connector element using tomcat::config::server::realm or tomcat::config::server::connector, and set purge_realms or purge_connectors to 'true'.

tomcat::config::server::realm { 'org.apache.catalina.realm.LockOutRealm':
  realm_ensure => 'present',
  purge_realms => true,
}

Puppet removes any existing Connectors or Realms and leaves only the ones you've specified.

Required unless war_ensure is set to 'false' or 'absent'. Specifies the source to deploy the WAR from. Valid options: a string containing a puppet://, http(s)://, or ftp:// URL.

##Limitations

This module only supports Tomcat installations on *nix systems. The tomcat::config::server* defines require Augeas version 1.0.0 or newer.

###Multiple Instances

Some Tomcat packages do not let you install more than one instance. You can avoid this limitation by installing Tomcat from source.

##Development

Puppet Labs modules on the Puppet Forge are open projects, and community contributions are essential for keeping them great. We can't access the huge number of platforms and myriad of hardware, software, and deployment configurations that Puppet is intended to serve.

We want to keep it as easy as possible to contribute changes so that our modules work in your environment. There are a few guidelines that we need contributors to follow so that we can have a chance of keeping on top of things.

For more information, see our module contribution guide.
