Deprecation notice

This module was designed for Puppet versions 2 and 3. It should work also on Puppet 4 but doesn't use any of its features.

The current Puppet 3 compatible codebase is no longer actively maintained by example42.

Still, Pull Requests that fix bugs or introduce backwards compatible features will be accepted.

Puppet module: tomcat

This is a Puppet tomcat module from the second generation of Example42 Puppet Modules.

Made by Alessandro Franceschi / Lab42

Official site: http://www.example42.com

Official git repository: http://github.com/example42/puppet-tomcat

Released under the terms of Apache 2 License.

This module requires functions provided by the Example42 Puppi module.

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

USAGE - Basic management

• Install tomcat with default settings

  class { "tomcat": }
  

• Disable tomcat service and create single tomcat instances (note for each for them you must specify (different) http_port and control_port

  class { "tomcat":
    disable => true
  }
  
  tomcat::instance { 'my_app':
    http_port    => '8088',
    control_port => '6088',
  }
  
  tomcat::instance { 'other_app':
    http_port    => '8089',
    control_port => '6089',
    ajp_port     => '9089',
  }
  

• 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 making changes on existing tomcat configuration files

  class { "tomcat":
    audit_only => true
  }
  

• Install a custom version of tomcat. The default is chose according to OS versions, but you can try to install a different one (given that a tomcat${version} packge is available)

  class { "tomcat": }
  
  On hiera set this key with the version value you want:
  tomcat::params::version: 7
  

Note: that some templates used by tomcat::instance may not be present for your version. You should provide them with the *_template parameters.

USAGE - Overrides and Customizations

• Use custom sources for main config file

  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
  }
  

• Use custom template for main config file

  class { "tomcat":
    template => "example42/tomcat/tomcat.conf.erb",      
  }
  

• Define custom options that can be used in a custom template without the need to add parameters to the tomcat class

  class { "tomcat":
    template => "example42/tomcat/tomcat.conf.erb",    
    options  => {
      'LogLevel' => 'INFO',
      'UsePAM'   => 'yes',
    },
  }
  

• Automaticallly include a custom subclass

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

USAGE - Example42 extensions management

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

  class { "tomcat": 
    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 { "tomcat":
    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 { "tomcat":
    monitor      => true,
    monitor_tool => [ "nagios" , "monit" , "munin" ],
  }
  

• Activate automatic firewalling This option requires the usage of Example42 firewall and relevant firewall tools modules

  class { "tomcat":       
    firewall      => true,
    firewall_tool => "iptables",
    firewall_src  => "10.42.0.0/24",
    firewall_dst  => "$ipaddress_eth0",
  }
