Manages Tomcat configuration.
This module is provided by Camptocamp.
This module will install tomcat, either using you system's package manager or from a compressed archive available on one of the tomcat-mirrors.
This is done by including the tomcat class for a package based setup or declaring the class with the parameter sources => true for a source based setup.
You'll then be able to define one or more tomcat instances, where you
can drop your webapps in the ".war" format. This is done with the
tomcat::instance
definition.
The idea is to have several independent tomcats running on the same host, each of which can be restarted and managed independently. If one of them happens to crash, it won't affect the other instances. The drawback is that each tomcat instance starts it's own JVM, which consumes memory.
This is implemented by having a shared $CATALINA_HOME
, and each
instance having it's own $CATALINA_BASE
. More details are found in
this document:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/RUNNING.txt
To offer more flexibility and avoid having to restart tomcat each time catalina.out is rotated, tomcat is configured to send it's log messages to log4j. By default log4j is configured to send all log messages from all instances to /var/log/tomcat/tomcat.log.
This can easily be overridden on an instance base by creating a custom
log4j.properties file and setting the common.loader
path to point to
it, by editing /srv/tomcat/<name>/conf/catalina.properties
.
By default a new tomcat instance create by a tomcat::instance resource will listen on the following ports:
- 8080 HTTP
- 8005 Control
- 8009 AJP
You should override these defaults by setting attributes server_port
,
http_port
and ajp_port
.
- there is no way to automatically manage webapps (
\*.war
files). - the initscript calls catalina.sh instead of using jsvc. This prevents tomcat from listening on ports < 1024.
Simple standalone instance:
Create a standalone tomcat instance whose HTTP server listen on port 8080:
include tomcat
tomcat::instance {'myapp':
ensure => present,
http_port => '8080',
}
If you want to install a specific tomcat version from a specific mirror:
$tomcat_mirror = 'http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/'
$tomcat_version = '6.0.32'
include tomcat::source
Pre-requisites:
include apache_c2c
apache_c2c::module {'proxy_ajp':
ensure => present,
}
apache_c2c::vhost {'www.mycompany.com':
ensure => present,
}
Create a tomcat instance which is accessible via Apache using AJP on a given virtualhost:
include tomcat
tomcat::instance {'myapp':
ensure => present,
ajp_port => '8000'
}
apache_c2c::proxypass {'myapp':
ensure => present,
location => '/myapp',
vhost => 'www.mycompany.com',
url => 'ajp://localhost:8000',
}
If you create multiple Tomcat instances, you must avoid port clash by setting distinct ports for each instance:
include tomcat
tomcat::instance {'tomcat1':
ensure => present,
server_port => '8005',
http_port => '8080',
ajp_port => '8009',
}
tomcat::instance {'tomcat2':
ensure => present,
server_port => '8006',
http_port => '8081',
ajp_port => '8010',
}
First you have to declare you connectors then they are added to the tomcat-instance:
include tomcat
tomcat::connector{'http-8080':
ensure => present,
instance => 'tomcat1',
protocol => 'HTTP/1.1',
port => 8080,
manage => true,
}
tomcat::connector{'ajp-8081':
ensure => present
instance => 'tomcat1'
protocol => 'AJP/1.3',
port => 8081,
manage => true,
}
tomcat::instance {'tomcat1':
ensure => present,
group => 'tomcat-admin',
manage => true,
connector => ['http-8080','ajp-8081'],
}
