##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
The simplest way to get Tomcat up and running with the tomcat module is to install the Tomcat source and start the service:
tomcat::install { '/opt/tomcat':
source_url => 'http://www-us.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.68/bin/apache-tomcat-7.0.68.tar.gz',
}
tomcat::instance { 'default':
catalina_home => '/opt/tomcat',
}
class { 'java': }
tomcat::install { '/opt/tomcat8':
source_url => 'http://www-eu.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-8/v8.0.32/bin/apache-tomcat-8.0.32.tar.gz'
}
tomcat::instance { 'tomcat8-first':
catalina_home => '/opt/tomcat8',
catalina_base => '/opt/tomcat8/first',
}
tomcat::instance { 'tomcat8-second':
catalina_home => '/opt/tomcat8',
catalina_base => '/opt/tomcat8/second',
}
# Change the default port of the second instance server and HTTP connector
tomcat::config::server { 'tomcat8-second':
catalina_base => '/opt/tomcat8/second',
port => '8006',
}
tomcat::config::server::connector { 'tomcat8-second-http':
catalina_base => '/opt/tomcat8/second',
port => '8081',
protocol => 'HTTP/1.1',
additional_attributes => {
'redirectPort' => '8443'
},
}
tomcat::install { '/opt/tomcat6':
source_url => 'http://www-eu.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-6/v6.0.45/bin/apache-tomcat-6.0.45.tar.gz',
}
tomcat::instance { 'tomcat6':
catalina_home => '/opt/tomcat6',
}
# Change tomcat 6's server and HTTP/AJP connectors
tomcat::config::server { 'tomcat6':
catalina_base => '/opt/tomcat6',
port => '8105',
}
tomcat::config::server::connector { 'tomcat6-http':
catalina_base => '/opt/tomcat6',
port => '8180',
protocol => 'HTTP/1.1',
additional_attributes => {
'redirectPort' => '8543'
},
}
tomcat::config::server::connector { 'tomcat6-ajp':
catalina_base => '/opt/tomcat6',
port => '8109',
protocol => 'AJP/1.3',
additional_attributes => {
'redirectPort' => '8543'
},
}
Add the following to any existing installation with your own war source:
tomcat::war { 'sample.war':
catalina_base => '/opt/tomcat8/first',
war_source => '/opt/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.
Different configuration defines will allow an ensure parameter to be passed, though the name may vary based on the define.
To remove a connector, for instance, the following configuration ensure that it is absent:
tomcat::config::server::connector { 'tomcat8-jsvc':
connector_ensure => 'absent',
catalina_base => '/opt/tomcat8/first',
port => '8080',
protocol => 'HTTP/1.1',
}
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.

, package_name
, and package_options
parameters.
Valid options: true
and false
. Default: true
.

Declares a tomcat instance.
There are two different modes of use: a single tomcat installation and instance (called "single-instance" by this readme), or a single tomcat installation with multiple instances, each with its own directory structure (called "multi-instance" by this readme).
- single-instance: If a
tomcat::instance
is declared withcatalina_home
andcatalina_base
both pointing to the directory of atomcat::install
then it only configures a single instance. - multi-instance: If a
tomcat::instance
is declared withcatalina_home
pointing to the same directory as atomcat::install
andcatalina_base
pointing at a different directory then it is configured as an instance of the Apache Tomcat software. Multiple instances of a single install may be created using this method.
Specifies the $CATALINA_BASE
of the Tomcat instance where logs, configuration files, and the 'webapps' directory are managed. For single-instance installs, this is the same as the catalina_home
parameter

Specifies the java home to be used when declaring a tomcat::service
instance. See tomcat::service
Specifies whether jsvc should be used when declaring a tomcat::service
instance. Note that this module will not compile and install jsvc for you. See tomcat::service
Specifies whether an init script should be managed when declaring a tomcat::service
instance. See tomcat::service
#####catalina_base
Specifies the base directory of the Tomcat installation. Valid options: a string containing an absolute path. Default: $::tomcat::catalina_home.
#####catalina_home
Specifies the root directory of the Tomcat installation. Valid options: a string containing an absolute path. Default: $::tomcat::catalina_home.
#####java_home
Specifies where Java is installed. Only applies if use_jsvc
is set to 'true'. Valid options: a string containing an absolute path. Default: undef. Note: if you don't specify a home path in this parameter, Puppet does not pass the -home
switch to Tomcat. That can cause problems on some systems, so we recommend including this parameter.
#####service_enable
Specifies whether to enable the Tomcat service at boot. Only valid if use_init
is set to 'true'. Valid options: 'true' and 'false'. Default: 'true', if use_init
is set to 'true' and service_ensure
is set to 'running' or 'true'.
#####service_ensure
Specifies whether the Tomcat service should be running. Maps to the ensure
parameter of Puppet's native service
resource type. Valid options: 'running', 'stopped', 'true', and 'false'. Default: 'present'.
#####service_name
Required if use_init
is set to 'true'. Specifies the name of the Tomcat service. Valid options: a string.
#####start_command
Designates a command to start the service. Valid options: a string. Default: determined by the values of use_init
and use_jsvc
.
#####stop_command
Designates a command to stop the service. Valid options: a string. Default: determined by the values of use_init
and use_jsvc
.
Specifies whether to use a package-provided init script for service management. Note that the tomcat module does not supply an init script. If both use_jsvc
and use_init
are set to 'false', tomcat uses the following commands for service management:
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh start
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh stop
Valid options: 'true' and 'false'. Default: 'false'.
Specifies whether to use Jsvc for service management. If both use_jsvc
and use_init
are set to 'false', tomcat uses the following commands for service management:
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh start
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh stop
Valid options: 'true' and 'false'. Default: 'false'.
The user of the jsvc process when use_init => true
####tomcat::setenv::entry
#####base_path
Deprecated. Please use config_file
instead.
#####config_file
Specifies the configuration file to edit. Valid options: a string containing an absolute path. Default: $'::tomcat::catalina_home/bin/setenv.sh'.
#####ensure
Determines whether the fragment should exist in the configuration file. Valid options: 'present', 'absent'. Default: 'present'.
#####order
Determines the ordering of your parameters in the configuration file (parameters with lower order
values appear first.) Valid options: an integer or a string containing an integer. Default: '10'.
Defines an additional environment variable that will be added to the beginning of the param
#####param
Specifies a parameter to manage. Valid options: a string. Default: the '[name]' passed in your define.
#####quote_char
Specifies a character to include before and after the specified value. Valid options: a string (usually a single or double quote). Default: (blank).
#####value
Required. Provides the value(s) of the managed parameter. Valid options: a string or an array. If passing an array, separate values with a single space.
####tomcat::war
#####app_base
Specifies where to deploy the WAR. Cannot be used in combination with deployment_path
. Valid options: a string containing a path relative to $CATALINA_BASE. Default: If you don't specify an app_base
, Puppet deploys the WAR to your specified deployment_path
. If you don't specify that either, the WAR deploys to '${catalina_base}/webapps'.
#####catalina_base
Specifies the base directory of the Tomcat installation. Valid options: a string containing an absolute path. Default: $::tomcat::catalina_home.
#####deployment_path
Specifies where to deploy the WAR. Cannot be used in combination with app_base
. Valid options: a string containing an absolute path. Default: If you don't specify a deployment_path
, Puppet deploys the WAR to your specified app_base
. If you don't specify that either, the WAR deploys to '${catalina_base}/webapps'.
#####war_ensure
Specifies whether the WAR should exist. Valid options: 'true', 'false', 'present', and 'absent'. Default: 'present'.
#####war_name
Specifies the name of the WAR. Valid options: a string containing a filename that ends in '.war'. Default: the '[name]' passed in your define.
#####war_purge
Specifies whether to purge the exploded WAR directory. Only applicable when war_ensure
is set to 'absent' or 'false'.
Note: Setting this parameter to 'false' does not prevent Tomcat from removing the exploded WAR directory if Tomcat is running and autoDeploy is set to 'true'. Valid options: 'true' and 'false'. Default: 'true'.
#####war_source
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)://

##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.
