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?

have a look at: https://github.com/iteh/vagrant-demos/tree/master/vagrant-java-application-reworked to get an idea

its *nix specific but most parts *should work*, at least the ideas

https://github.com/iteh/vagrant-demos/blob/master/vagrant-java-application-reworked/cookbooks/tomcat/providers/context.rb

e.g. deployment is protected by:

  unless @context.deployed && @context.checksum == @new_resource.checksum

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.
