Not at all. 

I do recommend using a data bag to store application specific data like its repository, revision, and other details. Load the item up in the recipe that uses the application LWRP, and use its values to populate the resource.

having a data bag sort of goes against the way the current application cookbook is designed to work... seems like a step backwards, unfortunately.

Maybe you could have a databag with an item for each application, and the configuration of each app inside its item.

If I remember well the tomcat cookbook uses a databag to configure the users. You could take it as an example and see if it could work in your case.

hello!

so i just got a new deployment project for a big tomee application, and in tomee, things like the datasource must be configured in tomee.xml (which is like the server.xml from tomcat)

so... if i want to have two apps each with a separate datasource, i have to find some way to inject the datasource information into the tomee.xml for both.

i want to have a generic tomee cookbook (which will be almost identical to the tomcat cookbook), then i want to have separate application cookbooks.

when i add both to the same machine, i want both of their datasources to show up in tomee.xml, and when just one is there, just one should show up...

so...

any ideas?
