[chef] Re: Re: Thinking of writing my own windows tomcat cookbook

Yeah, I'm pretty sold on the databag attribute.

Running via chef-solo for testing out the cookbook means I don't have access, correct?

Also, the existing jpackage/tomcat/java cookbooks are *nix specific or are there neat/unique ways I could have leveraged them?

They seemed to be very *nix path/tooling centric...

Either use a node attribute or read the value from a data bag.
