Hi Andrea

You are completely right. It was missing "tomcat" cookbook in the type attribute of the databag.

Everything worked fine excepto with the tomcat cookbook. The process of starting tomcat gives back the following error.

However, the tomcat is up and running and the war application can be accessed at http://<ip>:8080/ since it is described in ROOT.xml

Should I start another issue with the tmcat cookbook or remain here?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Does your data bag contain tomcat too?

 "type": {
   "my_app": [   <— with your app name, of course
     "java_webapp",
     "tomcat"
   ]
 },

If so, you should also have a ROOT.xml file in your Tomcat context
directory, and it should contain the name of your war file.

But since you say Tomcat was not installed, I supposed you don't. Try with that.
