salt.modules.tomcat

Support for Tomcat

This module uses the manager webapp to manage Apache tomcat webapps. If the manager webapp is not configured some of the functions won't work.

configuration:
  • Java bin path should be in default path
  • If ipv6 is enabled make sure you permit manager access to ipv6 interface "0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1"
  • If you are using tomcat.tar.gz it has to be installed or symlinked under /opt, preferably using name tomcat
  • "tomcat.signal start/stop" works but it does not use the startup scripts

The following grains/pillar should be set:

tomcat-manager:
  user: <username>
  passwd: <password>

or the old format:

tomcat-manager.user: <username>
tomcat-manager.passwd: <password>

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>

Note

salt.modules.tomcat.deploy_war(war, context, force='no', url='http://localhost:8080/manager', saltenv='base', timeout=180, env=None, temp_war_location=None, version='')

Deploy a WAR file

war
