USAGE - Basic management ↑

  • Install tomcat with default settings

    class { "tomcat": }

  • Disable tomcat service.

    class { "tomcat":
  disable => true
}

  • Disable tomcat service at boot time, but don’t stop if is running.

    class { "tomcat":
  disableboot => true
}

  • Remove tomcat package

    class { "tomcat":
  absent => true
}

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

    class { "tomcat":
  audit_only => true
}

USAGE - Overrides and Customizations ↑

    class { "tomcat":
  source => [ "puppet:///modules/lab42/tomcat/tomcat.conf-${hostname}" , "puppet:///modules/lab42/tomcat/tomcat.conf" ], 
}

  • Use custom source directory for the whole configuration dir

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