Due to the ways that some system init scripts call the configuration, you may wish to set the java options to include `JAVA_OPTS`. As an example for a java app server role: ```ruby name "java-app-server" run_list("recipe[tomcat]") override_attributes( 'tomcat' => { 'java_options' => "${JAVA_OPTS} -Xmx128M -Djava.awt.headless=true" } ) ``` Running Multiple Instances -------------------------- To run multiple instances of Tomcat, populate the `instances` attribute, which is a dictionary of instance name => array of attributes. Most of the same attributes that can be used globally for the tomcat cookbook can also be set per-instance - see resources/instance.rb for details. If they are not set for a particular instance, the `base`, `home`, `config_dir`, `log_dir`, `work_dir`, `context_dir`, and `webapp_dir` attributes are created by modifying the global values to use the instance name. For example, under Tomcat 7, with `home` /usr/share/tomcat7, `home` for instance "instance1" would be set to /usr/share/tomcat7-instance1. The port attributes - `port`, `proxy_port`, `ssl_port`, `ssl_proxy_port`, `ajp_port`, and `shutdown_port` - are not inherited and must be set per-instance. Other attributes that are not set are inherited unmodified from the global attributes. Each instance must define `shutdown_port`, and at least one of `port`, `ssl_port` or `ajp_port`. If you only want to run specific instances and not the "base" tomcat instances, you can set `run_base_instance` to `false`. Here is an example partial role: ```javascript ... "override_attributes": { "tomcat": { "run_base_instance": false, "instances": { "instance1": { "port": 8081, "shutdown_port": 8006 }, "lookup": { "port": 8082, "shutdown_port": 8007, "java_options": "-Xms1G -Xmx2G" } }, ... } ... } ``` Managing Tomcat Users --------------------- The recipe `tomcat::users` included in this cookbook is used for managing Tomcat users. The recipe adds users and roles to the `tomcat-users.xml` conf file. Users are defined by creating a `tomcat_users` data bag and placing [Encrypted Data Bag Items](http://docs.opscode.com/chef/essentials_data_bags.html) in that data bag. Each encrypted data bag item requires an 'id', 'password', and a 'roles' field. The data bag key is retrieved from the default location `/etc/chef/encrypted_data_bag_secret`. ```javascript { "id": "reset", "password": "supersecret", "roles": [ "manager", "admin" ] } ``` If you are a Chef Solo user the data bag items are not required to be encrypted and should not be.
