Sure,

I have a recipe for deploying war files to jboss , I use war file name and location to download it from as a parameter in the recipe.

The idea is to override those variables using the roles. 

So if i want to deploy a war file abc.war i call the abc role.

Does it make sense ? I am not sure if this is the best way to do it, even i am not impressed with this since i have to pass the role as a  parameter to chef client every time.

Thanks

You probably want to extract your recipe code to a LWRP so you can just plug the data into it. See here:

http://docs.opscode.com/lwrp_custom_provider.html

Once that's done, you can give each app deployment its own recipe or cookbook.
