salt.states.tomcat¶

This state uses the manager webapp to manage Apache tomcat webapps This state requires the manager webapp to be enabled

The following grains/pillar should be set:

tomcat-manager.user: admin user name
tomcat-manager.passwd: password

and also configure a user in the conf/tomcat-users.xml file:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<tomcat-users>
    <role rolename="manager-script"/>
    <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="manager-script"/>
</tomcat-users>

Notes:

• Not supported multiple version on the same context path

• More information about tomcat manager: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/manager-howto.html

• if you use only this module for deployments you've might want to strict access to the manager only from localhost for more info: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/manager-howto.html#Configuring_Manager_Application_Access

salt.states.tomcat.mod_watch(name, url='http://localhost:8080/manager', timeout=180)¶

The tomcat watcher function. When called it will reload the webapp in question

salt.states.tomcat.wait(name, url='http://localhost:8080/manager', timeout=180)¶

Wait for the tomcat manager to load

notice that if the tomcat is not running we won't wait for it start and the state will fail this state can be required in the tomcat.war_deployed state to make sure tomcat is running and that the manager is running as well and ready for deployment

url : http://localhost:8080/manager

the URL of the server manager webapp

timeout : 180

timeout for HTTP request to the tomcat manager

Example:

tomcat-service:
  service:
    - running
    - name: tomcat
    - enable: True

wait-for-tomcatmanager:
  tomcat:
    - wait
    - timeout: 300
    - require:
      - service: tomcat-service

jenkins:
  tomcat:
    - war_deployed
    - name: /ran
    - war: salt://jenkins-1.2.4.war
    - require:
      - tomcat: wait-for-tomcatmanager

salt.states.tomcat.war_deployed(name, war, url='http://localhost:8080/manager', __env__='base', timeout=180)¶

Enforce that the WAR will be deployed and started in the context path it will make use of WAR versions

for more info: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/context.html#Naming

name

the context path to deploy

war

absolute path to WAR file (should be accessible by the user running tomcat) or a path supported by the salt.modules.cp.get_file function

url : http://localhost:8080/manager

the URL of the server manager webapp

timeout : 180

timeout for HTTP request to the tomcat manager

Example:

jenkins:
  tomcat.war_deployed:
    - name: /ran
    - war: salt://jenkins-1.2.4.war
