Installs and configures Tomcat version 6, Java servlet engine and webserver.

Platform:

• Debian, Ubuntu (OpenJDK, Oracle)
• CentOS 6+, Red Hat 6+, Fedora (OpenJDK, Oracle)

The following Opscode cookbooks are dependencies:

• java

• node["tomcat"]["port"] - The network port used by Tomcat's HTTP connector, default 8080.
• node["tomcat"]["ssl_port"] - The network port used by Tomcat's SSL HTTP connector, default 8443.
• node["tomcat"]["ajp_port"] - The network port used by Tomcat's AJP connector, default 8009.
• node["tomcat"]["java_options"] - Extra options to pass to the JVM, default -Xmx128M -Djava.awt.headless=true.
• node["tomcat"]["use_security_manager"] - Run Tomcat under the Java Security Manager, default false.

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"
  }
)
